(Citywide)
DISCUSSION
City Council approval is requested to enter into contracts with SiteOne Landscape Supply (SiteOne) and American Landscape, Inc. (American Landscape), for the purchase and installation of Calsense irrigation controllers and related parts.
These controllers will replace the antiquated irrigation controllers with a new centrally-managed system throughout park locations in Long Beach. The Calsense irrigation controllers contain technology that records water usage in real time and allows for remote, electronic management of water distribution, which permits operation based on environmental conditions along with plant need. After a successful pilot irrigation controller replacement program, irrigation controllers will be replaced throughout the City creating an efficient, data-driven process that allows the Parks, Recreation and Marine Department to maximize water use and minimize waste.
There were 286 potential bidders specializing in irrigation controller products and services notified of the bid opportunity. Of those bidders, 32 downloaded the bid via the City’s electronic bid system. The bid document was made available from the Purchasing Division, located on the seventh floor of City Hall, and the Division’s website at www.longbeach.gov/purchasing
