Background/Discussion
The bid opening for the Twin Lakes Road irrigation project was held on August 12, 2014.
Bids were received from Kelly Green Irrigation and Great Northern Landscapes at$49,990.14 and
$42,274.00 respectively.
Preliminary bids were collected earlier this summer and ranged between$16,945 and $24,800. Bids were
expected to be around$25,000, as noted in the authorization to advertise for bids presented to the City
Council on July 21, 2014.
The project scope included the installation of a new main line and drip irrigation system to water the trees
planted earlier this year. The irrigation plans included capacity for the addition of sprays to water the turf
grass,with installation planned for next year.
Staff proposes to re-advertise for bids in early 2015 with the addition of the sprays for irrigating the turf.
Authorization to advertise for bids will be requested at a later date.
The remaining 2014 beautification budget, approximately$30,000,will be utilized for the tree
replacements downtown and rolled into the 2015 budget to ensure funding for a number of planned
beautification projects.
