Summary

Allen County approved a contract with Hi‑Tech Electric to replace 116 conference center light fixtures at the War Memorial Coliseum for up to $247,500 after staff reported a sparking connector prompted a full-grid upgrade.

The Allen County Board of Commissioners approved an agreement with Hi‑Tech Electric Company to replace 116 light fixtures in the conference center at the War Memorial Coliseum for a cost not to exceed $247,500. Executive Director Melanie Carney told the board a connector had recently started to spark and staff decided to upgrade the entire lighting grid rather than execute piecemeal repairs.

Carney cautioned that ordering and delivery of lighting products will take longer than the installation itself. The board voted 3-0 to approve the agreement following a motion by Ronald W. Turpin and second by Therese M. Brown.
