LIGHTING SYSTEM AT MAGNOLIA TREE PARK
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council, at the January 21, 1991 meeting, approve
specifications for upgrading the Magnolia Tree Park Lighting System
and direct the City Clerk to advertise for bids as recommended by
the Community Services Department Staff.
BACKGROUND
On March 19, 1990, the City Council authorized an agreement with
RWR/Pascoe Electrical Engineering for preparation of lighting plans
and specifications for Magnolia Tree Park. These plans and
specifications have been finished and have successfully completed
the City's plan check process.
DISCUSSION
The project will upgrade existing lighting by replacing the mercury
vapor fixtures with high pressure sodium lamps. Also included in
the plans are new lighting fixtures near the tennis courts where no
security lighting currently exists.
Funds for the project were appropriated in the 1990-91 Capital
Improvement Project Budget. The project cost estimate of $31,800
falls within the amount appropriated for the improvements.
The tentative timeline for the project follows:
