CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL AC\:.t1'l1
Staff Report
Subject:
Resolution of the City of San Bernardino authorizing the Purchasing Manager of the City of San
Bernardino to award a Purchase Order to Skylogix for purchase and installation of Athletic Field
Lighting Controllers.
Background:
Under the Roberti-Z'berg-Harris Block Grant Program, the City of San Bernardino will receive
$513,915. These funds have been allocated in the 2003-2008 CIP for various park projects. A
wireless automation system for ball field lighting at 22 City parks is one of several projects listed
in the CIP and funded out of this grant program.
Currently the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department staff must physically
operate ball field lights and check out keys to user groups so they can control the ball field lights.
Monitoring and operating the ball field lights, keeping track of and issuing keys takes up an
enormous amount of staff time. The keys to turn on/off ball field lights once they are issued are
often copied and used by unauthorized user groups to operate the lights. The Parks, Recreation
and Community Services Department receives numerous calls regarding lights left on overnight.
Automating the ball field lighting will reduce the staff time needed to monitor the lights, reduce
energy costs, and prohibit unauthorized use of the lights. Staff has researched the systems that
are currently available to automate ball field lighting through other municipalities (i.e. in
California, Nevada and Arizona). Additionally systems have been tested at the 2002 National
Recreation & Park Association (NRPA) Annual convention & 2003 California Parks &
Recreation (CPRS) Annual State conference.
Three Athletic Field Lighting companies were identified that can provide an automated remote
control system to control the ball field lighting. These three companies are Skylogix, OpenApps
and MUSCO sports lighting The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department
solicited information and quotations from all three vendors.
To outfit all 38 ball fields at 22-city parks lighted ball fields, the bids were:
Company
MUSCO control -link system
OpenApps
Skylogix ARC-IO system
City
Irvine, CA.
Brea, CA.
Phoenix, AZ.
Bid
$118,300
$128,057
$ 98,420
~
Staff evaluated all three systems. Based on their evaluation the Skylogix system is the system
that best meets our needs.
The Skylogix automated remote control system (ARC 10) is a wireless remote control system
that controls sports and recreational facilities lighting and other equipment. Components of the
ARC-1O include Remote Control Units (RCUs), TeleDirect operating system, and Control
Station software. Thus, enabling the user to turn on/off ball field lights at all 22 city parks via
Web (Internet) access, touch-tone telephones, or on-location keypads. Parks personnel will no
longer have to visit individual ball field sites to turn on/off lights, groups will no longer be able
to use the lights without proper authorization, and the liability concerns resulting from failing to
turn lights on or off will be reduced. This system allows staff to determine who used the lights,
when the lights were used and for how long. The Parks, Recreation and Community Services
Department oversees 38 lighted ball fields located within 22 city park sites.
The average annual cost for ball field lighting (electricity) over the prior three fiscal years was
estimated to be $523,000. It is estimated that the department will save $17,500 in energy cost
each fiscal year, as a result of this automated system.
Financial Impact:
That funding in the amount of $98,420 is budgeted in the FY 2003-2004 ClP (expenditures 243-
363-5504). Project number 7437 (athletic field lighting controllers).
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution to award a Purchase Order to Skylogix in the amount of$98,420 for the
automated ball field lighting control system.
