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: November 22, 1999 <br />RE: Pioneer Park Lighting Bids <br />The low bidder on the Pioneer Park ball field lighting project, Electric Service Company, <br />appears to be a very reputable contractor, and they have done several similar projects. I <br />have confirmed this through reference checking. <br />The following factors make up the portion of their bid that is over our budget estimate: <br />Wireless Control System $ 5,200 <br />Manufacturer's Extended Warranty 14,250 <br />Inflationary Adjustment (cost was 7,939 <br />estimated in 1996) <br />$27,389 <br />In addition, there will be a fee of approximately $6,000 from NSP for rewiring the <br />existing transformer at the site. This cost will be recovered over time because a more <br />economical 480 -volt fixture can then be installed. <br />I am recommending the award of the low bid in the amount of $265,389. I feel the <br />extended warranty will save money over the long term, and the remote wireless control <br />feature will eliminate any need to staff the site for that purpose as well as give us more <br />control over who can operate the system. <br />Page 11 <br />
