RECOMMENDATION:  Award contract
 
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:  The current Ken McDonald Golf Course (KMGC) irrigation system 
was installed in 1992 and has exceeded its useful life. A study completed in 2021 recommended a 
complete replacement due to below-ground polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes exceeding lifecycle, outdated 
control system, inadequate spacing of sprinkler heads and aging intakes and infrastructure. Both the 
north and south pump stations have been replaced since 2021 and will not need to be replaced as part 
of this project.
This project replaces the full irrigation system at KMGC.
Scope of Work: 

Golf course irrigation system

Cultural Resources/Archaeological coordination
