BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project was previously approved as part of the Parks and Recreation Departments 2003/2004 Capital Improvement Projects requests. Plans and specifications and authorization to advertise for bids for the above project were approved by the City Council at their regular meeting on July 16, 2003. A bid opening was held on October 1, 2003, and no bids were received. The California Public Contracts Code gives Council the option of proceeding with the project without rebidding in the event no bids are received at the bid opening. The Parks Department sent letters to Carson Landscape, A.M. Stephens Construction, and Goodland Landscape requesting bids from them by October 15, 2003. All three contractors responded with the quotes shown below. The existing irrigation system is operating with the City main line pressure only. The system was designed to meet 50 psi demand. However the pressure readings that were taken after the installation of the irrigation system came back as 35 psi. Therefore, the system is not working at the maximum needed for the irrigation efficiency. With the installation of the new booster pump, Park staff will be able to water more efficiently, saving water and maintenance time. The pump has a variable speed motor which is energy efficient. This project is a qualifying project for Public Benefits Program dollars. Staff is now recommending that Council award the Katzakian Park Irrigation Booster Pump project to Carson Landscape and appropriate funds as shown below.
