…body
EXPLANATION: In an effort to standardize the Village’s irrigation system and reduce costs, Hoover pumps have been installed in all parks and roadway medians throughout the Village.
The Public Works Department is seeking authorization to purchase and install two irrigation pump station upgrades at Greenbriar Park and Village Park (Fields 13-16). The existing systems require replacement to ensure reliable operation of the irrigation system. The proposed pump stations include fiberglass enclosed units with control system components designed to improve efficiency and system reliability.
In addition to the pump station upgrade, electrical improvements are required to upgrade the existing panel to meet the system requirements at Greenbriar Park. Staff obtained quotes for the electrical work, and Cerrito Electric provided the lowest quote in the amount of $6,280.00 for removal of existing equipment, installation of a new 200A service panel, and coordination with Florida Power & Light. The total project cost for the Greenbriar Park irrigation pump station ($54,677.16) and electrical upgrades ($6,280.00) is $60,957.16. The total project cost for the Village Park irrigation pump station upgrade is $54,991.21.
Hoover Pumping Systems is the Village's vendor of record for irrigation pumps and the sole source provider for Hoover Pumps. Sole source purchases are exempt from competition; however, projects exceeding $50,000 require Council approval.
Staff requests authorization to issue purchase orders to Hoover Pumping Systems and Cerrito Electric, at a total cost of $115,948.37.
