Regular Council Meeting <br />4-19-99 <br />Page 16 <br />for the poles for future wiring. We are looking at 15 area lights for the option on night <br />swimming. <br />1V1r. Brett said he is concerned about the last line on their cover page. He thought we had <br />anticipated the future possibilities of night lighting. <br />Mr. Muhlbach said we looked at controLs. Controls and things like that that we can <br />accommodate now we did. What we looked at originally in the bid was six 50' poles and those <br />would be added in the future. What we discussed at the last meeting was to put in the area <br />lighting poles with provisions that wires could be pulled to those in the future and do night <br />swimming off of those. The contractor is indicating there is not ample room in these poles for all <br />the conduit. He is indicating we can't add on for structural purposes to get the height we need for <br />night swimming. It is not impractical to do it--we can add the controls but we will still have to <br />dig up areas to put in footers and all the wires to those poles. There will be costs involved to the <br />future. <br />Mr. Brett asked why we can't do the wiring now. <br />Mr. Muhlbach said we talked about that. The option was we have six 50' poles which we <br />originally bid. We said that is not the look we want; we want something more decorative. We <br />said can't we light these off the same pole like Night Vision was talking? Now they are saying <br />they can't take a 20' pole and add 10' feet in the future. Our contractor is saying to do that he <br />would have pull all-those wires out in the future and run those wires but he would have to take <br />those poles and put in new poles. <br />Mr. Muhlbach said the option would be to go ahead with the area lighting, provide footers for <br />six 50' poles in the future (or at least wire them to those locations). We need to know what <br />direction to go. If you are looking at lighting it now, ideally you would put a decorative 20' pole <br />and add 10' to it and go with the sports light on top. In the future if you want to light, you would <br />be putting six poles with the sports head on top of it. Progressive has 40' poles in their parking <br />lot. It is getting later and later. We are trying to open this pool for the 4th of July weekend. <br />Mrs. Cinco said the original letter was dated February 9th: At that time we were all confused and <br />asked him to please give us some specifics. It is now April 19th. Where did we lose two months <br />plus? Now she is even more confused because we can't do what we originally thought we could <br />do. <br />Mr. Muhlbach said we can do what we originally thought we could do but what has come up is <br />that the specifications as are they are writt'eri?iriclude a single?head;shoebox fixture. The City has <br />indicated that is not what they would like.. We could put provisions for the vviring to the six <br />locations for future night swimming. Those will lie , 50' poles:with,a sports type light. Those <br />were the original alternate to the bid. To add those now is $47,000?. We were a'sked•to meet with <br />Night Vision and have them run the calculations to see what they can do. We did that. He <br />explained the options they looked at regarding poles. The manufacturer said you don't want to <br />take a 20' pole and add 10' to it. So,R, if you want, to put provisions in for the future--if youmoi:ld <br />
