Full proposal attached as Exhibit A.

Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes an agreement with Irrigation Consulting, Inc. for preliminary design, cost estimating, final design, construction documents, and bidding services for a new 27-hole irrigation system, new pump station infrastructure, irrigation pond expansion, City water supply extension, and well piping extension to provide recommendations and design documents for the proposed Enger Golf Course renovation in an amount not to exceed $57,365.00. This amount includes phase 1 ($15,440), phase 2 ($36,060), and 30% of the travel costs ($5,865) from the attached proposal.
The resolution authorizes payment of the contract from the Park Fund; however, the intent is that the Golf Fund will ultimately reimburse the Park Fund for these costs. Golf Fund profits will be sufficient to cover the full cost of the contract.
The Enger Park Golf Course Renovation Plan specifies critical infrastructure that is failing and needs to be replaced to support successful golf operations. Infrastructure repairs and replacement are anticipated during 2023 while Enger Golf Course is closed to play and Lester Park Golf Course reopens for one final season. The information obtained from irrigation system design, pump station design, irrigation pond design, water supply extensions and cost estimates are necessary in order to finalize project financing and secure necessary permits.
The City issued a Request for Proposals on November 30, 2021 and received three proposals in response. The proposals were reviewed by City staff and the golf course operator for technical and cost components. Irrigation Consulting, Inc. was determined to be qualified and had an acceptable cost for the work, and the City wishes to engage Irrigation Consulting, Inc. for these services. The names of the firms and their final scores are shown below.
