SECTION 6: MATERIALS
GENERAL
The following material specifications are the minimum acceptable components for the construction of an
irrigation system at Brookshire GolfCourse in Cannel, Indiana.
Submit with your bid, cut sheets for, or a list of manufacturers and model numbers of all components to
be used in the construction of the irrigation system. The submittal shall include:
1) Control System and Rotors manufacturer
2) Quick Couple Valves
3) Pre-Fabricated Swing Joints
4) Gate Valves
5) Fittings
6) Pipe
7) Wire
8) Direct Bury Splice Kits
9) Valve and Splice Boxes
10) Pump Station
The rotors, decoders and control system shall be supplied by a single manufacturer, and supported by one
local wholesale distributor.
CENTRAL CONTROLLER
The irrigation central controller shall operate from a personal computer. The computer shall provide for
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later Software Operation. The computer shall be supplied as part of the central
control system.
The irrigation software shall be capable of operating field devices through an interface. A field device is
defined as a decoder. The central software shall be capable of programming up to 100%of the suhmitteddesign
decoder addresses, plus an additional 10% for future expansion. Install the required number of'interfaces to
assure a maximum irrigation cycle time of 7 hours. However, the system shall include a minimum of 2 decoder
interface devices.
The irrigation software shall be capable of having the final record drawing map loaded in to the software,
to allow for user interfacing. The user shall be able to click on a rotor station on the map, active that station, and
change any of the stations data at the map interfacing screen. The irrigation map shall show stations that are
currently running in real time, either through an automatic program, or manually operated stations through the
use of a handheld radio. The user shall also be capable of turning layers on and off of the record drawing map.
The minimum number of layers and associated components on each layer shall he:
a) Greens

y) Bridges
The irrigation software shall be capable of defining the total system capacity in gallons per miniute
(GPM),therefore never exceeding the designed system capacity. Furthermore, the irrigation software shall have
the capability of defining the systems pipe flow rates, based on pipe sections per the installed system and
proposed design. Decoder stations can then be defined based on flow rates and assigned to a defined pipe
section. The operation of this feature in the software shall control the flow rates of water in gallons per minute
(GPM) throughout the entire pipe system at all times. This feature shall be available and active any time a station
is activated through:
a) Automatic Program Start
b) Manual Program Start
c)Handheld Radio Operation
The irrigation software shall be capable of communicating with the pump station. The communication
shall be in real-time allowing for the irrigation software to react in real-time to the pump station. Tithe pump
station capacity decreases, the irrigation software will automatically adjust the number of stations to operate so as
to continue the irrigation cycle, thus avoiding a pump station low pressure safety shutdown. The software shall
he capable of reacting in real-time when there is a user definable difference between theoretical flow and actual
pump station flow. If the actual flow is greater than the theoretical flow, the software shall do a "zero check" to
make sure that there are no pipe breakages. If the "zero check" passes, resume irrigation where it was paused. If
not, the user has the option to shut the pump station down. If the actual flow is less than theoretical flow, the
software shall be capable of activating more stations to bring the actual flow up to the defined pump capacity,
thus shortening the overall irrigation cycle, saving on overall pump runtime, and conserving electrical usage.
The software shall have the capability of performing decoder diagnostics and monitoring the electrical load on
the communication line at all times. The diagnostics shall allow for the testing of each individual decoder, and

solenoids. It shall also provide the current electrical load (in milliamps) to aid in the overall troubleshooting
process.
The control system shall he capable of two-way communication in real-time. This allows the central control
software to react in real-time to changing conditions (i.e. —pump station, rain, etc.). The two-way
communication shall also provide for station runtime logging. This allows the user, the capability of confirming
runtimes of every station at the completion of an irrigation cycle.
The system shall include a minimum of two (2) decoder interface devices for activation of the decoders. The
interface devices shall be connected to the central computer. The 6 main communication cables shall be
connected to the interface devices.
A UPS battery back-up shall be part of the central control package.
Provide a color laser jet, or ink jet printer and one ream (500 sheets) of paper with the computer system.
No Field Satellites shall be allowed as part of the control system.
HANDHELD REMOTE RADIO CONTROL
Included as part of the control system, is a handheld radio control package. Include 3 radios with chargers
as part of the system. FCC licensing is the responsibility of the contractor. The ability to turn on stations with
the handheld radio shall only be limited to the system's total pump capacity. However, when stations are
activated with the handheld radio, ilo-manager shall monitor and control the number of active stations anywhere
throughout the pipe system so as not to overload any pipes at any time.
CENTRAL CONTROL VIA REMOTE ACCESS
Include with the central control package the option of directly accessing the central control software from
