Commission reviews irrigation bids and a separate pond-dredging estimate totaling multimillion-dollar project range
Summary
Staff presented three irrigation-installation proposals (approximately $1.4M, $1.7M and $1.8M for installation) plus about $1.0M for materials and pump house, putting total estimates in a roughly $2.4M–$2.8M range; commissioners asked for written quotes, contractor recommendations and a procurement plan before selecting a contractor.
Staff presented three competitive installation quotes for a new course irrigation system and clarified that the installation bids (roughly $1.4M, $1.7M and $1.8M) do not include materials and a pump house, which were discussed separately at roughly $1.0M. Chair summarized the combined estimate as "2.4 to 2.8" million dollars for install plus materials and noted commissioners should be provided written quotes before proceeding.
Don described the pond-dredging component as a separate winter project with a vendor quote of about $79,800, of which roughly $5,800 could be done in-house, and said dredging should be done when the irrigation system is turned off (December–March). Commissioners asked staff to assemble the packages, confirm prevailing-wage exposure, check vendor insurance and return with a recommended procurement approach at the next meeting.
