Title
Approving the purchase and installation of irrigation systems at Lake Pflugerville Park and Pfennig Park with G2 Construction in the amount of $78,000, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the same.
Summary
The City of Pflugerville is seeking approval for the purchase and installation of a solar-powered irrigation system for two key areas: Pflugerville Lake Park and Pfennig Park. The project includes two separate systems, each designed to enhance irrigation efficiency while supporting sustainability goals.
At Pflugerville Lake Park, the $60,000 irrigation system will be capable of serving the entire northern section of the lake, and it will feature rain and freeze sensors to optimize water usage. The system is designed to be expandable, offering future flexibility, and will operate independently from any existing irrigation infrastructure, allowing for targeted water management.
Additionally, the $18,000 irrigation system at Pfennig Park will be dedicated to watering newly-planted trees, including those donated by the Dawoodi Bohra community. This system will also include rain and freeze sensors, be expandable, and operate separately from existing irrigation systems to ensure effective and sustainable watering.
The purchase and installation of these systems will be completed by G2 Construction, selected through the BuyBoard cooperative (Contract #728-24). Funding for the project will be provided by the City’s Tree Fund, which is supplied through new development and currently has $715,467 for related projects.
This item is supported by the Infrastructure pillar of the Strategic Plan by improving park infrastructure, promoting sustainability, and ensuring efficient water use in key community spaces.
