body
Background
This annual contract is required to procure replacement parts, supplies, services, and technical support necessary for the continued operation of the City’s proprietary Irrigation Central Control (ICC) system. These components are critical to maintaining reliable system performance and supporting effective irrigation water management and control.
A centralized irrigation management system is required to support both current operations and future growth. ICC is a proprietary system with exclusive technology, components, and functionality. As a result, related services, replacement parts, and supplies are not available through competitive sources. The system supports irrigation for approximately 1,200 acres of parks, athletic fields, landscaped areas, public facilities, and nearly 6,000 median trees.
The Parks and Recreation Department will procure ICC-related goods and services as needed directly from Interspec LLC, the sole source provider. The contract has an estimated annual expenditure of $150,000 and a base term of one (1) year, with two (2) optional one-year automatic renewals. Total potential expenditure over the full term is estimated at $450,000. Funding will be provided through CMF Account #353013, Irrigation Technology & Mechanical.
The ICC system is critical to water conservation, irrigation management, and maintaining safe, usable park facilities for residents. If this recommendation is not approved, portions of the City’s Irrigation Central Control system may not receive necessary maintenance, parts, and services required for proper operation. This could result in system failures, outages, and operational malfunctions, increasing the risk of damage to City assets.
The City is exempt from the competitive bid process for this purchase as allowed by Texas Local Government Code Chapter 252 Subchapter B Section 252.022(a)(7)(A).
Financial Summary/Strategic Goals
Funding for this item is available in the 2025-26 Capital Maintenance Fund and is planned for future years as well. Award of the Centralized Irrigation Control Annual Supply Contract has an initial term of one (1) year with an estimated expenditure of $150,000 and two (2) City automatic renewals of the same term, for an estimated total amount of $450,000 if all renewal options are exercised.
