NAVARRE STREET LIGHT UPDATE <br /> Struve noted back in May of 2012, Spring Park had experienced a failure of one of their street light poles <br /> and have elected to move forward with replacement of those poles. <br /> At the July 23,2012, City Council meeting, Spring Park's streetlight study was presented and the Council <br /> discussed potential grant opportunities. At the November 26,2012,the City Council was informed that <br /> Orono was not eligible for a Hennepin County grant. Three options were presented at that time for <br /> various pole/lighting options as well as the costs associated with each option. <br /> Struve noted the Spring Park quote is higher than the costs outlined in their study. Since this is a quote <br /> and not a competitive bid, it is probable the cost will come down during the competitive bidding process. <br /> Spring Park is planning on including all three pole options in the competitive bidding process to get a <br /> finite number before a decision is made. <br /> Page 2 of 16 <br />
