Council approves purchases for irrigation pivot maintenance and sprinkler replacements
Summary
Council approved Hydro Engineering bids to replace 14 irrigator wheel assemblies for pivot 22 (~$15,538) and to buy new sprinklers/regulators (~$10,160), to be funded from the sewer capital improvement fund; warranty and prior solid-rubber tire performance were discussed.
The Paynesville City Council approved two public-works purchases for irrigation pivot 22: replacement of 14 irrigator wheel assemblies and purchase of new sprinkler regulators/nozzles.
Public works recommended Hydro Engineering's lower bids: approximately $15,538 for the irrigator wheel assemblies and roughly $10,160 for sprinkler/regulator replacements. Staff explained earlier solid-rubber tire purchases had underperformed and that the chosen assemblies have an 8,000-hour warranty covering wear and component failure (not necessarily puncture damage).
Council approved both bids and directed staff to use sewer capital improvement funds for payment. The purchases aim to restore reliable irrigation operation for the pivot and reduce maintenance downtime.
The council did not discuss additional service contracts; the approvals were for equipment purchases only.
