The <br />irrigation system is original to the course and is showing its age. The current system not only <br />requires multiple repairs each year, but it also is not utilizing newly available water efficient <br />technology. For example, the new system will include: <br />• Rain sensors so that the irrigation is not on while it is raining <br />• Frost sensors so that if there is a hard freeze before the system is blown out, it will prevent <br />cracks in the line, saving money in costly repairs. <br />• The ability to remotely control the system via cell phone, turning it on or off. <br />• More efficient delivery of the water itself in the system design and the irrigation heads <br />resulting in up to 50% less use of water and better coverage of the course for irrigation. <br /> <br />The following quotations for the televising inspections were received: <br /> <br /> Quotations <br />Mickman Brothers $151,365 <br />Northway Irrigation Systems $179,900 <br />Aqua Engineering Inc. $198,800 <br />AGENDA SECTION: Consent <br />REPORT DATE: July 17, 2019 <br />MEETING DATE: July 23, 2019
