SUBJECT: Approve Change Order #1, Werner Electric Supply for Pedestrian Light Poles &
Pathway Bollards for Marion Riverwalk — West Leg ( +$32,941.16)
BACKGROUND
In July of this year, the City requested bids for light poles and bollards for the riverwalk corridor.
Based on bids received, two suppliers are authorized to provide the Beacon brand lights and
bollards specified by the City. On August 10, 2010 Council awarded Werner Electric Supply the
contract as lowest bidder to supply light poles and bollards for the Riverside Park riverwalk
section. At this time, lights and bollards need to be ordered for the west leg of the Marion Road
Riverwalk.
ANALYSIS
The Department previously met with Parks Director Ray Mauer and City Electrician Dan
Kussman regarding the style of light poles and bollards to use on the entire riverwalk corridor.
Mr. Kussman researched several styles and manufacturers and it was agreed that for
consistency and uniformity, the Beacon light poles and bollards would be the style used on each
section of the riverwalk corridor. Based on the bids received in July for the Riverside Park
riverwalk section, two suppliers bid on the Beacon brand specified by the city. Council is being
asked to approve a change order to the current contract with Werner Electric for 8 light poles (at
$2,463.08 each) and 11 bollards (at $1,203.32 each) for a total increase of $32,941.16.
Installation of lights on the west leg of the Marion Road Riverwalk will fulfill the City's /RDA's
requirements under the developer agreement with Oshkosh River Development.
FISCAL IMPACT
A funding scenario for the Marion Road Riverwalk improvements was approved by Council on
September 15, 2010 which included dollars for lighting on the west leg.
RECOMMENDATION
The Department is requesting Council approval of Change Order #1 to increase the contract
with Werner Electric Supply for light poles and bollards for the Marion Road Riverwalk — West
Leg in the amount of $32,941.16.
Approved,
City Manager
