03-10-2026 BOA Minutes March 10, 2026 Page 7 of 10 AN ORDINANCE FOR A CONTRACT WITH BYRNE & JONES SPORTS CONSTRUCTION FOR THE LIGHTING REPLACEMENT PROJECT AT OAK KNOLL PARK

City Manager Gipson reported that included in the FY26 Capital Improvement Budget is a lighting replacement project in Oak Knoll Park, for replacement of the current poles and luminaires along the main trail, as well as adding the same lighting and fixtures along the pathway on the west side of the park.

The lighting system within Oak Knoll Park is at least 40 years old and, along with a lack of energy efficiency. The parking lot lights at Oak Knoll Park were upgraded in 2018 when the entrance to the park was upgraded, therefore this project will address the lighting within the interior of the park. The proposed design and fixtures have been submitted to Dark Sky staff and have been deemed compliant. Upgrading to LED lighting in Oak Knoll Park will enhance public safety, promote environmental stewardship, and improve community well‑being—all while remaining cost‑effective.

Staff have reviewed the project specifications and scope of work for the proposal and believe that Byrne & Jones Sports Construction is well qualified to complete this project.
