Phase 2 will complete the installation of the Musco Sports Lighting system for youth night games and practices at this facility. Phase 2 improvements will include relocation of two of the eight steel poles set in 2016 for better illumination, installation of thirteen (13) new 70' high galvanized steel poles with LED light fixtures, all wiring and integration with the existing Musco Control-Link® Control & Monitoring System and existing switchboard panel, and other incidental and related work, as shown on the plans and specifications for the above project.
On January 15, 2025, Council approved plans and specifications and authorized the City Manager or designee to award the contract to lowest responsive bidder in an amount not-to-exceed $290,000; pre-purchase the sports lighting components from Musco Corporation of Oskaloosa, Iowa for an amount not-to-exceed $960,000; authorize City Manager or designee to execute change orders in an amount not-to-exceed $107,000; and appropriate funds in the amount of $257,628.
