Board approves irrigation control upgrade for high‑school track project
Summary
A change order to install a Hunter two‑wire irrigation control system at the district stadium/track was approved; staff said the system costs just under $5,000 and replaces eight controllers, improving remote testing and water‑management compliance.
The board approved Change Order No. 2 for the OS track improvement project (Project 2515) on June 15 to install a Hunter two‑wire irrigation control system for the district stadium and athletic fields.
District project staff explained the proposed system centralizes control into one clock that can operate up to 250 valves, enabling remote testing and simplified programming. Staff said the change order cost is “just under $5,000,” which they contrasted with the roughly $10,000 cost to replace eight separate controllers.
Staff explained the upgrade will reduce travel time for grounds staff who currently must program multiple controllers on site and will help the district comply with local water‑use restrictions.
Ending: Trustees moved, seconded and approved the change order; staff will proceed with the irrigation installation as part of the existing project scope.
