LET THERE BE LIGHT The City Council is expected to authorize a contract with Reedcorp Engineering, Inc., worth $415,000 as part of an annual street and park lighting project.
The project is an effort by city officials to maintain and rehabilitate public areas, including circuit conversions from high voltage to low voltage throughout the city.
As part of the initiative, councilmem-bers reviewed two proposals in hopes of finding a source for safe, metered electrical supply for city and park lighting. Staff at the environmental and public works management department recommend Reedcorp Engineering for their prior successes with civil engineering projects. Reedcorp Engineering would be responsible for ensuring responsible and efficient energy use, as well as the maintenance of light posts and lighting facilities.
