RE: Bridge Lights - Lakes of Coppell
It is our intention to go forward with the installation of power to
the existing bridge lights on MacArthur and Allen, MacArthur and
Laguna, Parkway and Spyglass and Village Parkway north of
Basilwood. The Village Parkway site currently doesn't have any
fixtures. Stuart Electric has provided an estimate of $6,500.00,
including any necessary bores to provide power to the existing
lights. They didn't quote any fixtures for Village Parkway. Dean
Electric has agreed to provide an estimate for this project as
well. It will be approximately two weeks before we receive this
quote. Staff will attempt to get a third quote for this project.
We will also secure cost for the fixtures and forward that info to
you A.S.A.P. It is our opinion that this will bring the project
cost to approximately $8,000.00 to 8,500.00.
T.U. Electric has agreed to run the necessary power to a location
near the bridge columns and place handholds there for the
electricians use. They will provide the meters, as well. In
addition, Henkles and McCoy have agreed to provide a bore under
Allen Rd. at no charge. This bore is needed for T.U. Electric to
run their power to the bridge on MacArthur and Allen. We will need
to provide the electrical permit at no charge for this project.
Staff has requested the funding for this project to come from the
mid-year budget. We have asked Jennifer Armstrong to look at the
Electrical Account and see if we may be able to fund this project
with surplus from that account. Either way, we will need funding
from somewhere to get it done.
I will keep you posted on the status of this project on an as
needed basis.
