Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding the purchase from Musco Sports Lighting, LLC Light-Structure System retrofit with Total Light Control using LED lights for the Joe Orduño Park, F1 sports field. (Angelica Roldan, Director of Parks and Recreation)

Joe Orduño Park is the most visited park by our community. Our softball fields are used year-round to host special events, such as the 4th of July Celebration, as well as annual leagues for baseball and softball. Due to its importance and constant usage, the Parks and Recreation Department looked for a light structure system retrofit ("relight structure system") with total light control.  With Musco Sports Lighting, staff found a relight structure system would allow us to keep the existing light pole structures and upgrade the lights to LED. This lighting upgrade will be more cost-effective and help us save electricity when in use. This project will also upgrade the way that staff control the lights. This new lighting system features remote control capabilities that can be activated and deactivated from a cell phone or desktop via the Musco App. Musco will also provide 24/7 customer service with a live representative, in case staff have any questions or concerns. The Department has had good experiences with Musco Sports Lighting in the past. Another great perk of this relight structure is that we'd be able to do light shows. For example, when the City hosts the Baseball Exhibition games, staff will be able to create a light show to showcase when a home run is made. Our baseball field will have a lighting system similar to that of the Arizona Cardinals stadium! This is a lighting feature that no other park has in Yuma County. 

Musco Sports Lighting provided staff with a quote in the amount of $343,225.00. This price includes all materials, installation, and sales tax. The Parks and Recreation Department has an available budget of $361,900.00 that was budgeted this fiscal year for the Joe Orduño Park Relight Structure System. This quote uses a cooperative agreement, allowed under the San Luis City Code - Purchasing Section 3.05.090 - Cooperative Purchasing. Staff would like to seek authorization from the City Council to move forward with the purchase and installation of the Relight Structure System for the Joe Orduño Park, F1 Sports Field.
