DESCRIPTION:
The 2010-2015 Capital Improvement Program includes the Energy Block Grant Project (Project
950012) which provides for the replacement of park lighting at Kolb, Dolan and Shannon Parks.
Design was initiated in Fiscal Year 2010-2011 and construction will conclude in Fiscal Year
2011-2012. The project entails removal and replacement of park pathway lights including
existing poles and light fixtures along with the addition of some new lights where gaps in
illumination levels occurred. At Shannon Park the lights in the parking area will be replaced as
well. The replacement of the metal halide lamps with a more energy efficient light emitting
diodes (LED) will result in a total estimated energy reduction of 42% or $1,200 per year for all
three sites. In addition, the LED's last significantly longer than the metal halide lamp which
reduces the amount of labor and materials cost in replacing the lamps. This project is funded by
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act passed in 2009 through the Energy Block Grant
Program.
The schedule for the project is as follows:
1) Authorization to Advertise for Bids September 2011
2) Award Contract November 2011
3) Project Construction December 2011-January 2012
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
Advertisement of project will be listed as a public notice in the Tri-Valley Herald. In addition,
plans and specifications will be submitted to plan rooms throughout the Bay Area. Staff does
not anticipate significant disruption of park use during installation of lights.
ATTACHMENTS: None.
