Council approves design contract for Grand Park lighting; $275,000 budgeted in FY27 plan
Summary
The council approved a professional‑services agreement with McClure Engineering to design lighting for Grand Park, including courts, walkways and parking areas; staff expects design deliverables in roughly 90 days and has $275,000 in FY27 budget for the project.
Council approved a professional‑services agreement with McClure Engineering to develop preliminary and final designs, perform survey work and provide construction administration for Grand Park lighting improvements.
Chad presented the scope: photometric analysis, fixture selection, and programmatic recommendations for courts (pickleball/tennis), walkways, parking lots and paths, plus construction administration. Cody Forge (McClure) was on hand to answer technical questions about fixture selections and light‑shed analysis. Chad said the city will coordinate with MidAmerican for conversion and fixture choices.
Council members pressed about light spill toward nearby residences and were told the design phase includes directed fixtures and photometric plans to minimize off‑site light. The design is expected to deliver preliminary options within 90 days and final documents later in the year; budgeted funds in the FY27 proposal total $275,000 (including previously budgeted amounts). Staff said lighting for courts would follow park hours and parking/through‑streets would be on continuous schedules for safety.
Council approved the McClure agreement and directed staff to move ahead with the design and cost estimates that will be used to prioritize phases of construction.
