Summary
DATE: April 19, 2022
TO: Kent Cagle, City Manager
FROM: Joe Brown, Executive Director of Recreation Services
SUBJECT: Solar LED Lighting for Conder Park Parking Lot and Long Branch Park
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
Recreation Services (RS) is seeking to install solar LED lights at the Conder Park Parking Lot and Long Branch Park by the splash pad. There are currently no parking lot lights at Conder Park and no lights at Long Branch Park by the splash pad. With solar LED lighting, the City of Killeen will save on this expense, while eliminating the cost of repairs due to vandalism. This park amenity will address a concern from the community over the years which was included in our recently approved Parks Master Plan, that our parks are dark and feel unsafe once the sun goes down.
Conder Park has limited lighting within the park and no existing parking lot lights. RS is currently working on a project to renovate both parks using ARPA and CDBG funds. RS staff will install eighteen (18) new twenty (20) foot light poles and eighteen (18) sixty-watt AiO Solar LED lights. The purchase will include an anchor base, base cover, light poles and the solar LED light panel. RS staff will install the new light poles on a poured concrete pedestal.
RS is also seeking to add four (4) new light fixtures within Long Branch Park by the splash pad. Long Branch Park has no lighting in that area. The four (4) twenty-four (24 foot) poles include sixteen (16), four (4) per pole, sixty-watt solar LED lights, 12,000 lumens, anchor base, base cover, and the smart solar LED light panel. RS staff will install the new light poles in a ground mount at two (2) feet deep.
At Conder Park and Long Branch Park, the All-in-One Smart Solar LED light panel will include a 5-year warranty. Th...
