Centennial Park Playground Lighting January 20, 2026 Page 2 project delivery schedule remains unchanged with an estimated completion date of December 31, 2026. New lighting will extend playtime into the evening hours. Additionally, the new light fixtures will include area lighting after dark to deter illegal activity. Staff proposes installing state-of-the-art, energy -efficient LED light fixtures and poles designed and manufactured by Musco Sports Lighting, LLC, which is consistent with LED sports lighting equipment recently installed throughout the City's park system. The proposed lighting system includes a 25-year warranty, thereby reducing long-term maintenance costs. Additionally, the new lighting will offer better directional capabilities, minimizing light pollution for nearby resident homes while providing after-hours area lighting. Musco Sports Lighting, LLC has successfully completed multiple sports lighting projects throughout the City, including Memorial Park, Thornton Park, Dan Young Soccer Complex, George Upton All Access Playground and Basketball Courts, Santa Ana Stadium, and Santiago Park. For each of these projects, Musco has delivered on schedule, adapted to changing conditions, and provided energy -efficient systems that reduce maintenance needs while minimizing light spill into adjacent neighborhoods. Their responsiveness and collaboration with City staff have resulted in quality improvements that continue to serve the community well. Santa Ana Ordinance No. NS-3041 authorizes the City to utilize contracts from any public agency employing a competitive bid process. Sourcewell Contract No. 041123-MSL with Musco Sports Lighting, LLC was awarded as a result of open, competitive bidding and meets the City's requirements. As a result, staff recommends approving the First Amendment to the agreement with Musco Sports Lighting, LLC to provide playground LED sports lighting at Centennial Park (Exhibit 2).
