|
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
The lighting in the South Parking Garage at Allen Event Center has aged and suffers from reduced functionality as well as shorts and broken conduit. The waterproofing has been compromised and allows rain to get into the fixtures, further compromising the system operability. An Electrical Engineering firm was contracted to provide construction specifications for the project in 2019. After further investigation, a new design was produced which will replace the entire lighting system to match new energy efficiency and lighting standards. The conversion to energy efficient LED lights will decrease both electricity consumption and maintenance costs at the facility along with providing a safer environment for garage users. On March 25, 2021, seven (7) bids were received and five (5) bids were responsive. The three lowest and responsive bids are below:
