Staff has looked at those costs and it is Staff's opinion that it would be better use <br /> of the funds to replace the entire wiring now in light of the issues experienced by Spring Park. Struve <br /> indicated the cost to piecemeal that wire in t�ltimately over the next five to ten years will end up being <br /> approximately five times higher based on replacement cost and the costs associated with remobilizing the <br /> equipment. <br /> McMillan stated it does not appear to be that big of a cost savings and that it appears to be all or nothing <br /> at this point. <br /> Struve requested the City Council consider a motion to accept the plan and obtain bids for the 2014 <br /> Navarre streetlight project. <br /> McMillan asked whether the cost to replace the two lights on County Road 15 and County Road 19 would <br /> be incurred by the City. <br /> Struve indicated it would be the City's cost. <br /> Levang asked what will happen to the old wire. <br /> Struve stated the majority of the old wire will remain in place since the new wiring will be directionally <br /> bored in. Struve indicated Staff can look at removing parts of it at the time the sidewalks are replaced. <br /> Anderson moved,Bremer seconded,to accept the proposed plan and schedule and to order Staff to <br /> obtain bids for the 2014 Navarre street light and sidewalk project.
