LITTLE CANADA <br />PARKS AND RECREATION <br />DEPARTMENT <br />515 Little Canada Road / Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />Telephone: (651) 484 -2177 / Fax: (651) 484 -4538 <br />JIM MORELAN, Director <br />DON BOWMAN, Program Coordinator <br />DEREK ANDERSON, Program Coordinator <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Jim Morelan, Parks & Recreation Director <br />DATE: December 15, 1999 <br />RE: Pioneer Park Lighting <br />Staff is proposing the approval of two change orders to the lighting project at Pioneer <br />Park. The first change order was mentioned in my memo to the Council dated November <br />22nd The change order involves the addition of a new electrical transformer at the site so <br />that 480 -volt lights can be used. These lights are more economical to operate and will <br />also result in more efficient energy consumption. It was originally thought that the cost <br />would be approximately $6,000. After a detailed analysis by the contractor and NSP, the <br />cost of the work if performed by the contractor will be $8,473. Had the transformer been <br />provided and installed by NSP, the cost would be more than $8,473. <br />The second change order involves the installation of' an NSP panel, a circuit breaker <br />panel, meter socket, and various Musko controls into one outdoor enclosure rather than <br />having four to five individual post- mounted circuit boxes near the existing outdoor <br />transformer pad. Given that this equipment is in a very visible and high traffic location <br />near the concession building, staff is recommending the electrical contractor install the <br />enclosure at a cost of $2,970. <br />Page 16 <br />
