FOR MEETING OF:
ITEM TITLE: Resolution - Accepting bids and awarding contracts for
No. 8391 Irrigation Equipment and Supplies
SUBMITTED BY Purchasing Agent
ITEM EXPLANATION Bids were received and opened at 10:00 a.m. on October 12,
1976 in the office of the Purchasing Agent for the purchase of irrigation equipment
and supplies. The materials will be for the irrigation systems at Loma Verde and
Brandywine Park development.
The items were placed in two sections by commodity groups. Section I consists of
automatic controllers, sprinklers, valves and miscellaneous related supplies.
Section II consists of plastic pipe and fittings.
Eight (8) vendors were mailed proposal forms. See attached tabulation of bids
received.
In Section I, the Rainbird sprinklers were specified due to features incorporated
in the sprinkler which are advantageous in the proposed locations. The heads
feature the integral check valve, 2'," high pop-up and the Rainbird exclusive anti-
back splash device. The part circle heads will be located in areas where back-splash
must not occur, such as adjacent to school grounds and streets.
None of the other sprinklers bid meet all these specifications. Past experience has
found the Rainbird heads to be reliable and maintenance free. The Superintendent of
Parks has submitted a letter, which is attached, regarding his recommendation on the
Rainbird sprinklers.

TO: Jim Espinosa, Director of Purchasing
FROM: David Bradstreet, Superintendent of Parks
SUBJECT: Justification for the Use of Model No. 41/SAM and ivo. 47/SAM
Rainbird Automatic Irrigation Heads
Because of the particular areas that the subject heads are to be located
it is respectfully requested that the Rainbird Series be accepted on Bid
No. 14-1976-77 due to the following features:
1. Have an anti-back splash feature which will enable the
placement of heads around private property, streets and
other areas where water is to be avoided.
2. They have a 2 1/4 inch high pop-up which eliminates or
prevents stream breakup from high grass areas.
3. Has a built-in check valve which eliminates water puddling
around the head area.
4. The stop-a-matic valve is readily accessible for maintenance
without removing the entire casing from the ground.
It is not recommended to use the Moody Model No. 44 or part circle heads
for the following reasons:
1. The head in the casing only rises 1/2 inch which could
possibly have an adverse effect on the water breakup due
to grass growing around the head area.
2. The subject head performs at best when the PSI is between
60 and 70. The water pressure in the area where the
subject system is designed is only between 45 and 50 PSI
at the heads.
3. They do not have the anti-back splash feature.
It is not recommended to use the ~3uckner Model No. 8450 series of heads
for the follwing reasons:
1. They do not have the anti-back splash feature.
2. The riser in the head mechanism is plastic and due to
previous experience, we have found breakage more readily
due to vandalism.
3. These heads will :regire extra fittings to incorporate
the stop-a-matic feature cahich would result in additional
cost.
Exceptance of any head other than what was called out in the Parks and
Recreation Specifications could possibly mean future additional maintenance
costs for parts and labor.
