STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS UNDERSTANDING OF NEED TASKS NECESSARY FOR SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION Kick-off meeting with City staff and other appropriate people to better understand their needs / concerns as it pertains to this irrigation renovation and future maintenance/operation of the new system. Conduct thorough site visit making inventory of existing irrigation equipment and plant material that may be impacted by the proposed trenching and install of new irrigation, and getting accurate photos of existing conditions. • A thorough review of existing as-builts relevant to the site. Particularly existing wet and dry utilities that run through the park so we can make sure the General Contractor who performs the installation work won't encounter any surprises once they break ground. • Verify available water pressure at the POC. This is critical info for designing the new turf rotor layouts and valving out the new system. In talking with the City Water Department in preparing this response we learned that latest records indicate that static water pressure at the park is between 85 and 90 psi. That is plenty of PSI to run and operate a new system for the park with 24 valves. Coordination with electrical engineer to determine how best to run new conduit to new controller location within the structure. Productive meetings with City and staff during review sessions that identify weaknesses in the design or in the construction plans so we can constantly be refining the plans to a point of absolute clarity. Proper selection of new irrigation products and devices. You're looking to install new rotors and spray heads along with a new controller, We can help sift through the options and take advantage of the latest technologies. There are a few areas where you will need selection of new plant material and we can provide that as part of our construction document package as well.
