Baird, County Administrator <br />Thru: Michael C. Zito, Assistant County Administrator <br />From: Bela Nagy, Director of Golf <br />Subject: Approval of Bid Award for IRC Bid #2014024 <br />Dunes Golf Course Irrigation System Project <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: <br />The Dunes Golf Course at Sandridge Golf Club opened for play in 1987. Since that time, the <br />course has operated with the original irrigation system. This system is now over twenty-seven (27) <br />years old, including the grow -in period of the course. On December 30, 2013 staff recommended <br />to the Board of Commissioners to provide a conceptual approval of an interfund loan from the <br />General Fund (Not to exceed $1 million) to provide funding to replace the irrigation system on the <br />Dunes Course at Sandridge Golf Club and authorized staff to move forward with the construction <br />of this project. <br />Staff contracted with Aqua Turf International to design the new irrigation system on the Dunes <br />Course as well as the specifications for the entire project. A pre-bid meeting was held at Sandridge <br />Golf Club on February 11, 2014, and the bid opening was held on February 26, 2014. Two (2) bids <br />were received and opened. A detailed bid tabulation is on file and available for viewing in the <br />Purchasing Division. Bid totals are as follows: <br />Contractor <br />Location <br />Base Bid-Rainbird <br />Base Bid -Toro <br />Duininck-SEI <br />Prinsburg, MN <br />$1,166,000.00 <br />$1,168,000.00 <br />Quality Gr. -MRI <br />Lithia, FL <br />$1,187,713.00 <br />$1,207,774.00 <br />Duininck, Inc. is considered to be the lowest most responsive and responsible bidder for the project <br />with a bid totaling $1,168,000.00 for Base Bid -Toro. Once the Contractor, Duininck, Inc., was <br />chosen, staff had to choose between two manufacturers of the sprinkler heads and component parts. <br />After an exhaustive review between both systems, staff chose Toro over Rainbird because of the 25 <br />Year Warranty offered on its HDPE Valves and Fittings versus 5 Years with Rainbird. Duininck, <br />Inc. utilizes local suppliers and staffing agencies. The project should commence on May 15, 2014 <br />with a 120 day completion deadline. <br />F:\Assistant County Administrator\AGENDA ITEMS\2014\BCC 03 MAR 2014\BCC Memo -Award of Bid for Dunes Golf Course Irrigation <br />System Project.doc <br />141 <br />
