hillcrestgolfJamestown (CSi) The Jamestown City Park Board has voted to accept a bid from Krebsbach Backhoe Service to do $99,332 in work at the Hillcrest Municipal Golf Course,  irrigation pond. Members Larry Knoblich and Ron Olson were absent.

Golf course Superintendent, John Miller, will get a “solid number” from MTI Distributing, Fargo, to buy two towers and six satellite boxes for the golf course’s aging irrigation system. Miller said he had received an estimate from MTI of $70,000 for two towers and eight or nine satellite boxes.

Krebsbach Backhoe Service of Jamestown was the only contractor to submit a bid to repair Hillcrest’s irrigation pond. Scherbenske Inc., Jamestown, was the only other company to submit a bid, which was $125,700.

Repairs to the irrigation pond include cleaning out vegetation that has collected in the pond, repairing a leak in the pond and installing a new pond liner.

In other business, the commission approved a four-year lease with NB Golf Cars to supply 25 new golf carts. The cost per year for lease of the 25 new carts is $20,500.
