Staff Report
April 4, 2023
TOPIC: Purchase of Lighting and Control System for Thornton Park
AGENDA TITLE
Award a Purchase Order to Musco Sports Lighting, LLC in the Amount of $195,710 for LED Sports Lighting with Related Supplies and Services (General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize a one-time purchase order to Musco Sports Lighting, LLC for the purchase of LED sports lighting, control and monitoring system, and installation services for the George Upton All Access Playground and basketball courts at Thornton Park in the amount of $177,918, with a contingency of $17,792, for a total amount not to exceed $195,710, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and the City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency’s Parks Maintenance Division is responsible for overseeing and repairing various parks and facilities. In collaboration with the Parks and Recreation staff, Public Works staff evaluated the lighting at Thornton Park and determined that improvements need to be completed to support the various sporting and recreation events hosted at this site.
At Thornton Park, the George Upton All Access Playground and basketball courts do not have sports court lighting, limiting the play and recreation opportunities for the community. Staff proposes installing new Musco LED light structures with luminaires that are energy-efficient and include a 25-year warranty. These light structures will save the City maintenance costs for many years, while also providing energy-efficient lighting and creating safer playing fields. These new light structures will also facilitate operations after dusk with area lighting. The Control Link and Monitoring System provides remote light control to maximize lighting efficiency as staff will be able to remotely operate lighting with respect to park use and programming. The addition of new lights will increase the community’s sports and play options with lighted recreational amenities that will activate the park, thus decreasing the vandalism and illegal activities.
Santa Ana Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to utilize purchase contracts for any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. Sourcewell awarded a contract to Musco Sports Lighting, LLC. (Contract No. 071619-MSL) as a result of open competitive
