District reviews Hummer proposal to shut off and reroute irrigation ahead of construction
Summary
Administrators presented a Hummer proposal to close, reroute and later restart irrigation lines before construction begins; staff said the work is part of soft-cost contingency and will help prepare fields prior to the first dig.
District staff presented a proposal from Hummer, the vendor that manages district irrigation, to disconnect and reroute portions of the irrigation system before construction begins. The work would allow construction areas to be safely prepared while leveraging Hummer’s familiarity with district irrigation infrastructure.
Administration said the proposal covers initial shutoff and rerouting; additional options for irrigation of particular fields were described in a second page of the proposal that the administration will present with construction documents. The district asked Hummer to start the work after the playing seasons end so the irrigation work can be done before the first construction excavation. Staff said the Hummer work was included in the facilities’ soft-cost or contingency estimates provided earlier in the project planning process.
No final contract award was recorded in the transcript excerpt; staff said page-two options and any additional scope will be presented with the full construction documents later.
