Title
Old Orland Decorative Light Pole Installation Final Phase - Payment
History
The Public Works Department began a program in 2008 to install decorative light poles in the antique business and residential areas of Old Orland.
In October of 2010, the Old Orland decorative lighting project was expanded to provide additional lighting coverage to the area. Two additional lights were requested to be included in the area to ensure proper coverage. One of the additional lights was requested on Oak Street and the other on Brook Avenue. As the contractor was on site and had the necessary material on hand and could accomplish the work without the need to remobilize, Staff determined that completing the additional work as quickly as possible was the best course of action.
The Phase I cost of $6,750 per pole assembly including the associated wiring and base installation remained the same for these two additional light installations, completing the district lighting project. Associated restoration work has been completed by the Public Works staff.
On December 19, 2011, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
The 2011 Fiscal Year Budget has funds available in Account 054-0000-431.71-30 for this work.
