In collaboration with the Parks and Recreation <br />staff, Public Works staff evaluated the lighting at Thornton Park and determined that <br />improvements need to be completed to support the various sporting and recreation <br />events hosted at this site. <br />At Thornton Park, the George Upton All Access Playground and basketball courts do <br />not have sports court lighting, limiting the play and recreation opportunities for the <br />community. Staff proposes installing new Musco LED light structures with luminaires <br />that are energy-efficient and include a 25-year warranty. These light structures will save <br />the City maintenance costs for many years, while also providing energy-efficient lighting <br />and creating safer playing fields. These new light structures will also facilitate operations <br />after dusk with area lighting. The Control Link and Monitoring System provides remote <br />light control to maximize lighting efficiency as staff will be able to remotely operate <br />lighting with respect to park use and programming. The addition of new lights will <br />increase the community’s sports and play options with lighted recreational amenities <br />that will activate the park, thus decreasing the vandalism and illegal activities. <br />Santa Ana Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to utilize purchase contracts for <br />any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. Sourcewell awarded a contract to <br />Musco Sports Lighting, LLC. (Contract No. 071619-MSL) as a result of open competitive
