Title
Discuss and consider action to authorize the City Manager to approve the purchase and installation of athletic field lighting equipment, and the purchase of parking lot lighting equipment for the 1849 Park Project from Musco Sports Lighting, LLC in the amount of $1,421,633.00 utilizing the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) cooperative purchasing contract (BuyBoard).
Summary
The 1849 Park Project that is currently under construction includes three (3) large "practice pods" that are multi-purpose fields to be primarily used for practices and several parking lots. The athletic field lighting is necessary for effective and maximized use of the practice pods. Potential user's seasons occur during the parts of the year when supplemental lighting is necessary to conduct any activities in the evenings. The parking lot lighting is necessary for safety of park users while in the parking areas and while entering/exiting the park.
The total of approximately $1.4M can be broken down as follows:
~ $1.2M for LED Sports Lighting Equipment
~ $110K for installation of the Sports Lighting
~ $100K for Parking Lot Lighting Equipment
Please note that installation of the parking lot equipment is not included. The general contractor for Phase 1B, Denucci Contractors, LLC, will be installing that equipment as part of the approved scope of work.
Since the City is using a cooperative purchasing contract, the City's purchase order and accompanying documents will constitute the required documentation for the purchase. The cost of $1,421,633.00 for this purchase warrants City Council approval.
The City Council previously authorized the installation of athletic field lighting for the 1849 Park at its July 25, 2017 regular meeting.
