However, because of its age and other <br />factors, the existing pump needs to be replaced and upgraded. <br />The new system will include three smaller variable frequency drive 7.5 hp pumps rather <br />than a single 20 hp pump. The three pump system will provide greater flexibility and <br />simplicity in irrigation station programming, increasing efficiency and effectiveness. <br />Additionally, the new system will be able to ramp up pressure slowly and thus <br />minimizing stress and potential breaks to the irrigation system. Finally, the quality of turf <br />will improve as well as reducing water consumption at the site. <br />Staff is working with Southern California Edison for potential rebates and incentives for <br />the project. <br />Purchasing Process <br />In accordance with the District's purchasing policy, staff considers the purchase of a <br />booster pump and installation services a General Services Maintenance Work and <br />items between $30,000.01 and $45,000.00 require Board approval. <br />403 West Hillcrest Drive I Thousand Oaks, CA 91360-4223 <br />(805) 495-6471 FAX: (805) 497-3199 Email: parks@crpd.org <br />
