How about the following:- 1. We ask for an irrigation audit and assessment from a certified Landscape Irrigation Auditor and Designer. This will show us what is right and wrong with our present system and let us know what we need if we are to have a state-of-the-art centralized control with a 2 - wire decoder system, flow monitoring, rain shut off and all the other good things we would like. the can also give us a broad idea of costs. 2. If we like the Designer, we then get him to quote for a complete design for 15.1 irrigation including the provision for future modification and expansion. If JEE is OK with the cost. we commission a full design. 3. We (L.5.1) decide which parts of the design we are capable of doing (I would guess this is the excavation and installation central water line network), 4. We put the installation of the electronics, sensors, flow meters etc out to contract (maybe local but unlikely). We have these items on a long term maintenance contract. 5. We have at least two of our staff trained in pipe and head installation and repairs. EFTA_R1_00202005 EFTA01826996 By doing this we have control at every stage and we separate the design from the build. (Scott could even quote competitively for the installation). I do know of one company in Florida (Winter Haven) that is a certified Irrigation design Auditor and Designer. They are Precise Irrigation Design and Consulting. Website www.preciseirrigationinc.com <http://www.preciseirrigationinc.com/> Tel (863) 229 8280 If you are OK with the above I suggest that I contact their Boss, Russ Prophit, and find out how much they would charge for the audit and consultation. We can take it from there. Incidentally do we need to bring Lafayette into this at an early stage?
