Park Lighting Replacement Project, Contract #11-11
Prepared by Rosemary Alex, Parks and Facilities Development Coordinator
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Park Lighting Replacement project will replace the park lighting at Kolb, Dolan and
Shannon Parks. The initial funding for this Project was a Federal Energy Block Grant. Staff is
seeking City Council authorization for Staff to award bid to Bahia Electric and, based on the low
bid, appropriate additional funding to the project. The additional funding will accommodate the
low bid plus an additional $3,000 in design costs.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The project design was started in Fiscal Year 2010/2011. The total funding appropriated for the
Park Lighting Energy Grant Project (CIP #950012) is $185,700. This includes $23,456 for
design and project administration and $162,244 for the improvements to be installed under this
contract. The following table shows the available grant funds for installation of the lighting
compared to the low bid.

additional design costs. A total of $58,556 in additional project funding is recommended to be
provided from the General Fund Reserve designated for Innovations and New Opportunities. In

DESCRIPTION:
On September 20, 2011 the City Council authorized Staff to advertise the Park Lighting
Replacement Project which provides for the replacement of park lighting at Kolb, Dolan and
Shannon Parks. The project entails the 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. In addition to the work described above, the lights in the
Shannon Park parking area will be replaced as well.
The replacement of the metal halide lamps with the 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 LEDs last significantly longer than the metal halide lamp which reduces
the amount of labor and materials cost in replacing the lamps. It is estimated that metal halide
lights will need to be replaced twice (at year 5 and year 10) to meet the lamp life of LED lights.
BID RESULTS:
After a nearly four week bid period, the City received bids on October 24, 2011 from the
following companies:
Com pany Name Bid Amount
1 Bahia Electric $198,000.00
2 Dan Electric $199,700.00
3 Republic ITS $222,600.00
4 Columbia Electric $224,400.00
5 Steiny and Company $255,675.00
6 WBE $266,966.00
7 Tennyson Electric $268,261.50
8 Ranis Construction $268,500.00
9 Harris Electric $337,700.00
10 B-Side Incorporated $357,700.00
11 CF Contracting $753,000.00
As discussed in the financial statement above, the low bid exceeds the available budget for the
park improvements by $55,556 reflecting the bid amount including the 10% contingency. In
addition, Staff is recommending that the additional appropriation include $3,000 for additional
design expenses associated with the project. Staff has prepared a Budget Change Form
(Attachment 2).
