Report
Summary
The Contract was initially awarded by the Parks and Recreation and Public Transit departments, but the Aviation Department has identified an opportunity to utilize the Contract to satisfy operational needs. The Landscape Maintenance Section of the Facilities and Services Division is in the process of updating 20-year-old irrigation control systems at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport to meet current technological standards in order to achieve both efficiencies and cost savings. The upgraded irrigation systems will allow for improved irrigation control methods based on humidity, temperature, and evaporation. Additionally, the systems will shut down and send notices when excessive water loss due to breaks and malfunctions occurs, further improving water conservation efforts.
Financial Impact
Upon approval of $100,000 in additional money, the revised aggregate value of the Contract will not exceed $1.05 million. Funds are available in the Aviation Department’s budget.
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
The Contract was approved by the City Council on Jan. 1, 2019.
