Site work for a golf course in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Conceptual plans call for site work for a golf course.

The CrossWinds irrigation system is the original from the 1990 golf course construction. After 30 years, the wiring of the system is antiquated (new systems now use wireless) and an abundance of repairs have created an irrigation system that is unreliable. Leaks and repairs have become so frequent, fairway irrigation is rarely used because of the threat of a major blowout. Currently, staff must hand water greens so that any breaches can be identified, and this results in overtime and loss of work time. A new system would be much more automated (cell phone app) and savings will be realized through more efficient work hours. Irrigation is supplied with water from the Barren River. City water is only used when the Barren River is below the pump level. The first year, FY2021, included pump house improvements to help set the base for the next phase. An Invitation for Bids was completed in August 2022 and produced one bidder. After "Negotiations after Sealed Bid", the bid was rejected for being over budget. A revised bid will be publically released in September 2022 in hopes of securing more bidders. The goal of this project has been revised to complete all 18 holes in one year as our experience with the first bid has shown significant cost increases to spread over multiple years. As of October 19, 2023, the project is included in the City's 2022-2026 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Project is funded for FY2023. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
