February 8, 2001 <br /> To: Ron Moorse <br /> From: Greg Gappa <br /> Subject: Dunbar Senior Housing Project <br /> Buried Power Lines <br /> I have received a cost estimate from Excel Energy to bury the existing high voltage overhead <br /> power lines along the North Brown Road and Highway 12 frontage for this property. The <br /> estimated cost is $6,000 per span for to bury these lines <br /> Estimated Cost to Bury Power Lines $45,000 <br /> Ornamental Street Lights <br /> I have also contacted the Outdoor Lighting Group from Excel Energy regarding ornamental street <br /> lights along Highway 12 to match the existing Long Lake ornamental lights. The City of long <br /> Lake installed their lights through Excels Energy's, Group 5 street lighting program. In this <br /> program Excel Energy installs the lights upon payment of the installation costs. The lights are <br /> then operated and maintained by Excel Energy for a flat monthly rate that is billed to the City <br /> similar to all other the other street lights in the City. The new Navarre parking lot lights were <br /> installed under the Group 5 lighting program. The advantage to this program is that Excel Energy <br /> maintains these street lights. If lights are installed without using the Group 5 program, the City is <br /> then responsible for maintenance of the lights. City responsibility for the maintenance of street <br /> lights is not a prudent idea and is strongly recommended against. <br /> I have not yet received a cost estimate from Excel Energy for these Group 5 street lights. Based <br /> on my discussions with Long Lake, a preliminary cost estimate is approximately $5,000 per light <br /> for a total of six lights along Highway 12. <br /> Estimated Cost for Ornamental Street Lights $30,000 <br />
