In an effort to continue the beautification of the downtown area, staff is working with the City's Engineering and Traffic & Lighting Departments for the replacement of the 64 receptacles along Jefferson St., from the river going west to Wayne Street, ending at Lafayette Blvd. Over the years, most all of these receptacles have been broken off, and continue to be a hazard, with pipes and wiring sticking out of the ground. These receptacles are placed near the trees along Jefferson and Wayne streets, to allow for the lighting of the trees in the winter months. Similar to the new receptacles Traffic & Lighting installed along Michigan St, these receptacles would be low profile, UV rated outdoor plastic with GFI plugs and weather proof covers. The posts include built in stabilizers, and are the same color throughout, so there would be no chipping of the color. It is estimated that the total cost of this project would be $25,000, which includes 75 new posts /receptacles (so Traffic & Lighting has some spares), and the labor to replace wiring and conduit as needed, and the installation and electrical hook up of the new receptacles. Staff requests your approval of this project, in snot-to-exceed amount of $25,000. What We Do Today Makes A Difference!
