| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses irrigation projects in Minnesota, including the State Capital Mall, Dancing Waters, Cobblestone Lake, the Spirit of Brandtjen Farm and Anoka-Ramsey Community College campus. Describes the development of large-scale irrigation projects, starting with "engineering firms [creating] AutoCAD and/or PDF drawings." Lists tips for tackling big development projects, including "be up front to build trust," "make it clear that you are the go-to person," and "always be professional." Discusses potential ways of developing a plan, including "once [deciding] what the true maximum irrigated area will be, then [one] can determine the source of the water - lakes, rivers, streams, reclaimed/reuse water and, in the worst case scenarios, potable water." Explains that "each region is different and requires designers to know and be able to deal with a daunting variety of conditions and restrictions." States that "a good irrigation consultant needs to be involved (on a project) from the get go." Also states that "the availability of trained, reliable technicians complicates the process of nailing down true production rates on big jobs." Concludes that "finally, don't forget [the] bid bond, [the] cost and insurance...know [the] policy...it must meet the requirements specified in the bid documents." |
