. AGENDA ITEM #: ~ 7
KEY WORD.: Irrigation.
DATE MEETING: 4/21/86
DEPARTMENT: Public Works -Tom Hargis
REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION: Authorize contract for on-site application
of wastewater to farm lands in 1986.
RECOMMENDATION: Award contract to Redwood Ag. Management, Inc.
BACKGROUND: Proposals have been received from a local farmer group,
Redwood Ag. Management., Inc. and Envrotech Operating Services to
provide labor and irrigation equipment, to supplement this years wastewater
irrigation season (see attached proposals) .. Although each proposal would
satisfy the City's needs; staff recommends f~hat the farmer-operated system
would tend to maximize the beneficial use of wastewater as a resource.
Redwood Ag.'s proposal would provide labo and misc. support services in
the amount of $15'8,.868 to operate the on-s' a system... The City would rent
(with option to .purchase wifh 800 0 .rental applied) or purchase
approximately $70,OOD of irrigation equipment for a total City cost of
228, 348.93. Envirotech Operating .Service's ,proposal uses somewhat
different irrigation equipment but essentially disposes of the same amount of
wastewater through the season.'
It is recommended that. the City Council authorize a budget of $250, 000
which would provide- for the addition of other farm land that may be
available this season to irrigate with the Regional Water Quality Control
Board's approval.
