Committee backs bidding for $2.5M Miami Shores irrigation replacement
Summary
The committee recommended council authorize bids for a full irrigation replacement at Miami Shores golf course with an estimated cost up to $2.5 million and a separate $275,000 pump-station bid; staff said work would allow 18 holes to remain open using rolling single-hole closures.
Committee members heard details of a long-awaited replacement of the Miami Shores golf-course irrigation system and agreed to recommend letting bids. The committee was told the system ranges from 26 to nearly 50 years old across nine holes; staff sought authorization to issue two bids — the irrigation replacement (not to exceed $2,500,000) and a separate pump station bid ($275,000). The golf pro (Mister Grieser) explained the work plan and said the main distribution lines would be placed along tree lines so the course can remain open, with fairways closed one or two days at a time as contractors work on each hole.
Members asked whether removal and replacement would require extra course repairs; staff said those costs are included in the estimated total and the contractor that installs lines will be responsible for restoring turf. The committee agreed unanimously to move forward with the bidding authorization and recommended council approval of the solicitation.
