week will put out only 432,000 gpd, or a difference of approximately 150,000 gallons per day. The Chairman asked if that gallonage meets specifications, and Mr. Sheldon stated that they did not have specific require- ments as to gallonage or inches. He emphasized that they have a particular concern for the site because it is the sandiest site they have ever worked on; the percolation rate is tremendous; and they are concerned about putting $70,000 of grass on the site and making sure it lives. Chairman Scurlock believed they surveyed the site before they took the job and asked why they designed the specs at 1111 and 2" if they thought the sandy soil would require more. Mr. Sheldon clarified that they do not think it will require more than that; the problem is that the Rain Bird plan does not provide 2" on the greens. The Chairman stated that it then apparently doesn't meet the specs in any event and there is no need to even to consider this any further. Mr. Sheldon explained that there were specifica- tions, but they did not provide a number for certain inches or quantities. Those numbers are just an accepted industry standard. Chairman Scurlock noted that the architect apparently did not prepare any specifications, but just told the suppliers to go design a system and present it. He continued that as he sees it, there is a $24,423 expense difference with the Toro system being more expensive. In addition to that, he wished to know if the Toro system requires an additional pump to go to an additional 9 holes. Mr. Sheldon advised that the Toro will require one pump to be set in the pump station for a third nine holes; the Rain Bird does not require that. Lengthy discussion ensued with the Chairman adding up the difference in costs between the two systems, starting with the $24,000 difference plus $10,000 for the additional pump, and then 62 BOOK 64 wl),F.209 APR 16 1986
