Exh 8EAGENDA ITEM #3E DECEII7BER 12, 2005 CITY OF ATLANTIC BEACH ' ' CITY COMMISSION MEETING • . STAFF REPORT ' kGENDA ITEM: Decorative Lighting for the 5 Points Intersection SUBMITTED BY: Rick Carper, P.E., Public Works Director~~ DATE: December 1, 2005 BACKGROUND: At the August 22"d Commission meeting, the contract for construction of ' ' the 5 Points Intersection Improvement Project (PW0502) was awarded to Callaway . Contracting Company..The contract included Intersection Improvements (hardscape, safety items, groundwork for lighting upgrades and major landscape features) only, with funding for selected Additive Alternates to come in the new fiscal year budget. ' Based on Staff recommendations, at the October 24th Commission meeting, the . Commission approved using JEA to install and maintain the decorative street lighting system with the alternate Dark Sky fixtures. JEA has subsequently stated that they will not accept responsibility for installing or maintaining the lighting because the fixtures are not JEA standard (Dark Sky feature and 100W bulbs vs. 150W standard) and because the lights must be separately metered, due to installation of electrical outlets in the circuit. Because of JEA's position and proposed cost to provide just the poles, Staff elected to research buying poles and fixtures directly from a vendor rather than through JEA. Using this route, and using the City's contract electrician, the cost for lighting installation will be ' " approximately $32,500. Although substantially more than the $20,000 estimated if JEA were to provide, install and maintain the standard fixtures, this cost is still less than that for the other lighting manufacturers previously briefed to the Commission (see Cost • Analysis spreadsheet). This also provides the shielded fixtures and the lower wattage bulbs desired by the Commission. For comparison, Callaway's bid for Additive Alternate ` ' 3: Decorative Street Lighting was $56,300.00. As a option, by dealing directly through a vendor, rather than JEA, for an additional • $526.30, the city may specify_16-foot poles (JEA standard is 14-foot) as called for in the original lighting design. The 16-foot poles would provide more uniform lighting levels ' " throughout the intersection. • BUDGET: The Commission included $58,000 in the FY 2006'/2 Cent Sales Tax (131-5002- 541-6300) account for decorative street lighting as part of the 5 Points Intersection ' Improvements. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Commission authorize direct city acquisition of materials and installation of decorative lighting by the City Annual Electrical Contractor. ATTACHMENTS: 1.
