Ploaso doscribo why this project is needed, how it supports City-wido goals and objectives, what realistic options or alternativos havo been considorod, and what payback, or return on investment, has boon calculated: The City of Louisville manages the water use at parks and medians through tho use of a contrat control system. Contra) control enables the Irrigation manager to Input all changes to watering schedules throughout the City through one computer. Tho City has close to 100 onste irrigation controllers. The central computer sends the data or schedule changes to each onsite irrigation controller via a radio frequency. For example, shutting off tho water In the City can be accomplished by ono simpto click versus the previous way of having to make the change to each onsito controller. The City bought Into the Sentinel Central Control System close to ton yoars ago. At tho time, as a way to get into tho program more cost-effectively, Sontinol offered a retro -link card option for use in currently owned controllers. This enabled the City to buy into tho program without having to buy all now clocks. As time has progressed the older clocks with the retro -link cards aro losing support from Sontinol. Communication issues with those oldor clocks aro becoming more common and solutions to remedy aro becoming less available. The City has SO of these older clocks with retro -link cards. With the average cost of approximately 65.000 this CIP program allows for tho roplacomont of 3 critical clock replacements In 2016 and 10 clocks annualty for the remaining yoars until tho 50 aro roplacod with all now Sontinol clocks. Please provide a doscription of any grants and/or othor rovonuo associated with this project and the ongoing operational and )maintenance costs associated with this project. Maintenance costs should be minimized with new clocks. 1 gsw_y_s1 J A rem Estimated Expenditure Schedule quipmont or Projoct Costs Year 1 2016 Year 2 2017 Year 3 2018 Year 4 2019 Year 5 2020 ive -Year Total Beyond 5 Years Land Acquisition Design & Engineering Other Prof Services Construction Other Capital Equipment - - - - - 15.000 - - 50.000 - - - - - 50,000 - - - - - 50,000 - - - - - 50,000 - - - - 215,000 - - - - - 35.000 Total Project Costs 15.000 50.000 50,000 50,000 50,000 215,000 35.000 Grant(s) or Other Project Revenue - - - - - - .Impact to Annual MaintfOp Costs - - - - - - Project Location Map, Equipment Identification Photo, or Other Project or Equipment Description and Justification Ploaso provido a general project description and include the cost allocation methodology if more than ono funding source is requested: Park and median irrigation controller upgrades.
