Meadowlake Golf Course Automatic Irrigation Improvements

The City of Enid, Oklahoma, through Garfield County, is seeking a turnkey contractor for the Meadowlake Golf Course Automatic Irrigation Improvements project (Project M-2510C). The comprehensive procurement involves a complete replacement of the existing irrigation system, including removing current equipment and installing a new Toro Lynx central control system with G4 OSMAC satellites, maintenance radios, a wireless/solar weather station, sprinklers, HDPE piping, and associated equipment. The project scope includes approximately 548 full-circle golf sprinklers, 225 adjustable sprinklers, 20 quick coupler valves, 109 isolation valves, 16 satellite controllers, and over 73,000 linear feet of HDPE piping. Contractors must demonstrate at least 12 years of experience installing golf course irrigation systems, with a minimum of 12 similar golf courses completed in the last 3 years. Key project dates include a mandatory pre-bid meeting on October 16, 2024, and bid opening on October 31, 2024, with a target completion date of September 15, 2025. The bid requires a 5% proposal guaranty and includes provisions for 25-head and 10-valve contingencies, allowing flexibility in final system configuration.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the contract documents. The existing Watertronics pump station will be retained, indicating some integration requirements with current infrastructure. The project will utilize a mix of Toro and Hunter irrigation equipment, including rotors, sprinklers, controllers, and valves, with HDPE piping specified with particular DR ratings. Additional services included in the project are construction observation by EC Design Group, GPS/GIS record drawings, central hydraulic programming, and grow-in programming. While a specific budget range was not provided, the comprehensive nature of the project, involving extensive equipment replacement and sophisticated irrigation technology, suggests a significant investment. Bidders will need to provide detailed unit pricing for various components, with the procurement following a lump sum base bid approach. The technical complexity and specific manufacturer standards required indicate this is a specialized contract requiring advanced technical capabilities and extensive golf course irrigation expertise.
