The City is seeking qualified irrigation contractors to provide comprehensive maintenance and repair services for approximately 50 athletic fields through a competitive bid (Solicitation #2025-IFB-278).

The procurement includes specific requirements for spring startup, winter services, irrigation system design, controller supply and installation, system testing, and parts replacement. The City has implemented local preference policies that will provide consideration for minority and women-owned businesses.
