Stewartville school board accepts Musco bid for stadium lighting, 6-0
Summary
The Stewartville Public School District board voted 6-0 to accept a $131,915 bid from Musco Sports Lighting LLC to upgrade football and track lights, using long-term facility maintenance funds and retaining existing poles with new retractable LED fixtures.
The Stewartville Public School District board voted unanimously to accept a bid from Musco Sports Lighting LLC for the district's football and track lighting project. The board approved the recommendation during its March 4 meeting, recording a 6-0 voice vote.
The district solicited two bids for the lighting work. The superintendent reported a bid from ESL/Cooper Lighting Solutions for $175,000 and a lower bid from Musco for $131,915. Board materials and the superintendent's presentation indicated the district will use long-term facility maintenance funds to pay for the work.
District staff said the project will use existing poles where suitable, which saves cost, and will replace fixtures with LED, retractable lights so maintenance can be done at ground level rather than by climbing poles. The staff presentation said the new fixtures meet LED requirements and offer reduced power consumption.
A motion to accept the Musco quote was made by Mister Geist and seconded by Miss Kiefer. The motion carried 6-0.
The board's discussion did not specify a project timetable, procurement contract number, or warranty terms; those details were noted as forthcoming when staff returns with final specifications for the track and field work.
