Mark McNeill, City Administrator
Bruce Loney, Public Works Director
FROM: Michael Hullander, Public Works Superintendent
DATE: October 16,2007
SUBJECT: Electric Light Panel Safety and Code Upgrades for Schleper Stadium.
INTRODUCTION:
Public Works is requesting Council to accept the low quote from Gunnar Electric, Inc. for
$17,500.00 and direct staff to proceed with the upgrades to the Light Panels at Schleper
Stadium. Public Works budgeted $6,000.00 for this upgrade.
BACKGROUND:
Staff identified a need in the 2007 Park Maintenance Budget to upgrade the Electric
Panels for the Light System at Schleper Stadium. This request is to address safety and
code issues with the old existing panels.
Public Works has contracted with Gunnar Electric, Inc. for many years to provide general
electrical maintenance activities at Tahpah Park and Schleper Stadium involving the
Field Lighting. In 2006 Gunnar Electric, Inc. was asked to provide us with an informal
dollar amount to replace the light panels at Schleper Stadium so we could include the
work in the 2007 budget. Without knowing the extent of the project and all the code
upgrades needed, Gunnar Electric, Inc. believed $5,000.00 would be enough to cover the
upgrades, staff requested $6,000.00 in the 2007 Budget.
Due to Public Works not having an electrician, staff asked Mark Houser from Choice
Electric to look at the electrical panels and provide us with a recommendation and quote
for the replacement and upgrades of the panels. Mark contacted Shakopee Public
Utilities and together they came to a consensus on what was needed to address the safety
and code issues. Because of the need for more than one quote, Mark was kind enough to
share with Gunnar Electric, Inc. the recommendations resulting from the work that he,
S.P.U.C and Choice Electric's consultant had done, knowing Choice Electric may not
have the lowest quote and be awarded the work. We would like to thank Mark Houser
for his time and commitment to this project.
The completion of this project will provide a safer, more reliable and user friendly light
system for Schleper Stadium.
Staff received two quotes for this project and has attached both to this memo. Choice
Electric quoted $18,500.00 and Gunnar Electric, Inc. submitted the low quote of
$17,500.00.
Staff is requesting council to accept the low quote from Gunnar Electric, Inc. for the price
of $17,500.00 and direct staff to proceed with the replacement and upgrades to the
Electric Light Panels at Schleper Stadium. Staff believes there should be enough funding
in the existing park maintenance budget to cover the cost of the project. Should the
budget be short at the end of the year, staff will bring back to council a budget
amendment for this project.
AL TERNA TIVES:
1. Accept the low quote from Gunnar Electric, Inc. for the price of $17,500.00 and
direct staff to proceed with the replacement and upgrades to the Electric Light
Panels at Schleper Stadium.
2. Deny the request.
3. Table for additional information.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends alternative number one.
ACTION REOUESTED:
Accept the low quote from Gunnar Electric, Inc. for the price of $17,500.00 and direct
staff to proceed with the replacement and upgrades to the electric Light Panels at
Schleper Stadium.
