DuPont council OKs $80,367 streetlight contract to add beacons, lights near school crossings
Summary
The council awarded a Puget Sound Energy contract (about $80,367) to install three new streetlights and relocate one as part of a systemic pedestrian safety project, with locations near Hoffman Hill and Powderworks Park by Pioneer Middle School.
City staff presented and the council approved a contract to add street lighting and relocate an existing pole as part of a systemic pedestrian safety improvement project.
Gus Lim told the council the package is a companion to earlier construction and inspection contracts and that Puget Sound Energy operates the city’s streetlights, making it the sensible contractor to install three new lights and relocate one near marked crossings. “This package…is essentially a proposal from Puget Sound Energy for the tune of 80,367 to install essentially 3 new streetlights and the relocation of 1 new streetlight as a partner or companion project,” Lim said.
Lim identified two specific crosswalk locations: Hoffman Hill near Packwood and Bob’s Hollow Lane at Wren, adjacent to Pioneer Middle School and Powderworks Park; the presentation included graphics of rapid flashing beacons and new LED-style fixtures.
Deputy Mayor Winkler moved to approve the resolution awarding the contract; the council approved it by voice vote.
No public comments were made on the item during the meeting. The contract amount and scope were presented as part of a package that staff said pairs with previously awarded construction and construction-inspection contracts.
