Board receives update on pickleball court fence and lighting; staff to secure bids
Summary
Board reviewed a $3,800 fence bid for pickleball courts and a budget estimate of about $27,000 for lighting; staff will obtain three bids for the lighting project and proceed with the fence under procurement threshold.
Parks staff reported a bid of $3,391 (noted in discussion at $3,800 and described as below the city threshold) to install a low fence and gate at the pickleball courts. Staff said the fence is within the procurement threshold and can proceed without council budget approval. Board members expressed support for the fence to limit balls leaving courts; staff said materials and installation will match existing site aesthetics.
On lighting, staff presented a budget estimate of roughly $27,000 to install four poles (eight fixtures, two per pole) using LED fixtures and recommended obtaining three bids because the project exceeds the procurement threshold. Board members discussed power source and trenching needs; staff said the lights would likely require transformer work and trenching to connect to the grid, which is a major cost driver. The board directed staff to solicit three bids for the lighting and to return with cost breakdowns.
Staff said they will proceed with procurement for the fence under the threshold and will present competitive bids for lighting at a future meeting for the board’s formal approval.
