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 19, 1999 <br />RE: Pioneer Park Lighting Bids <br />We received seven bids for ballfield lighting in Pioneer Park (see attached). As of today, <br />the low bidder, Electric Service Company, has provided me with a list of similar projects <br />they have done, along with several references. We will be following up with references, <br />and I expect to have a final recommendation by the November 22nd Council meeting. <br />The low bid is approximately $27,000 above the budgeted amount at this time. Several <br />factors make up the difference between the estimate and the low bid. They include a <br />wireless control system, a manufacturer's warranty, and inflation from the time the <br />project was first estimated in 1996. Based on discussions with the manufacturer (Musco <br />Lighting), we have received some very competitive bids for this project. There will also <br />be some additional charges from NSP relative to bringing in the main service to the site. <br />Along with reference checking, I am gathering some additional information on this <br />matter and will have a recommendation for the Council's meeting on Monday evening. <br />Page 94 <br />
