AGENDA CAPTION:

Consider Action on a Resolution to Approve the Purchase of Central Control Irrigation Software and Equipment from Interspec Through the BuyBoard Texas Local Government Purchasing Cooperative and Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Purchase Order in an Amount Not to Exceed $96,421.60.

BACKGROUND:

The Parks Department is beginning a ten year program to convert existing irrigation controls to a Motorola Central Control System. This will allow for the replacement of aging equipment with a system that improves the management, repair, and operation of the Town's irrigation systems. The irrigation systems being converted in Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 are Addison Circle Park, Redding Trail, Vitruvian Park, and Celestial Park.

The required software and equipment will be purchased through BuyBoard, a state-wide collective purchasing agency that bids out services and products for its members to provide the leverage needed to achieve better pricing on products, equipment, and services. The supplier for the software and equipment is InterSpec.

The expenses were approved in the FY2021 budget through a decision package request for $75,163.00 and from the Parks Department operations budget in the amount of $21,258.60. Purchase of the equipment for Celestial Park and a small portion of Redding Trail will come from the Parks Department operations budget and all other items will be funded from the decision package approval.

RECOMMENDATION:

Administration recommends approval.
