TO:
HONORABLE CHAIRMAN A MEMBERS OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
FROM: WILLIAM A. HUSTON, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR BIDS A APPROPRIATION FOR REPLACEMENT
OF FLUORESCENT FIXTURES WITHIN CIVIC CENTER COMPLEX PARKING LOT
AND EXPANSION OF CITY HALL ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES
RECOMMENDATION
That the Agency appropriate funds and authorize the City Clerk to advertise for
bid the following projects: (A) replacement of fluorescent fixtures within the
Civic Center Complex Parking Lots; (3) City Hall Building Modifications.
F,
BACKGROUND
The replacement of Civic Center parking lot fluorescent light fixtures to high
pressure sodium vapor lights will reduce the City' s annual energy cost and
entitle the City to a rebate from the Southern California Edison Company. High
pressure sodium vapor is cheaper and more efficient than the fluorescent
lighting.
As the Agency is aware, the 1984--85 General Fund budget includes monies to
prepare a space needs study for the Civic Center. With the future growth in
population, the study is needed to determine if, when and how the Civic Center
should be modified to accommodate expanded City services. However, as Tustin is
now the focal point of a number of major local and regional issues, City
administrative offices are inadequate for the day-to-day scheduling and conduct
of operations. The current conference facilities (two rooms, each with a
seating capacity of ten) must attempt to meet the demands of seven separate City
departments and several Community Services programs. The demand for space far
exceeds the availability. The proposed expansion will add 530 square feet of
conference and meeting space to the administrative offices.
The projects are separated to allow for individual contracts and therefore lower
bids. Also, a separate contract for the lighting fixtures will facilitate the
Southern California Edison rebate. The estimate for the building modification
project is $90,000. The estimate for the light fixture replacement project is
$35,000.
