CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
Subject:
Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino authorizing the
execution of a vendor service agreement and issuance of a purchase order to JMS Electric, Inc.
for the purchase and installation of field lighting at Jerry Burnell Field - Civitan Little League.
Background:
Civitan Little League is one of the City's largest little league programs. Due to the residential
growth in the area, the League's facilities can not fully accommodate the demand. The T-Ball
program at the Civitan Little League field has also been expanding in recent years; therefore, the
City has committed to lighting the area of the field devoted to the T-Ball program. The lighting
system will extend the hours of available use to assist in meeting the demand.
The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department prepared the appropriate
specifications and the Purchasing Division of the Finance Department published and furnished
Request for Proposal (FRP) documents to vendors. Contract bid documents were advertised in
the Sun Newspaper, San Bernardino Chamber of Commerce and City web site. Proposals were
opened and declared on November 13, 2007.
C Bids were received from the following vendors:
Company
JMS Electric, Inc.
McKenzie Electric, Inc.
D & J Foothill Electrical
City
Highland
Highland
La Verne
Bid
$ 88,032.86
$122,910.00
$147,100.00
Staff from the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department evaluated the bid
proposals. The bid from JMS Electric, Inc. was the lowest responsible bid. Therefore, staff is
recommending award of a Vendor Service Agreement and purchase order to JMS Electric, Inc.
for the purchase and installation of field lighting at Jerry Burnell Field - Civitan Little League.
Financial Impact:
Funding in the amount of $90,000 is available in ClP Project No. 243-363-5504-7558 (Civitan
Little League Lighting) for this project.
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution.

Contractor shall posses a Class "A" License or
appropriate Specialty License(s) at time the contract is
awarded. The Manufacturer shall supply lighting
equipment to meet the following:
A. LIGHTING PERFORMANCE
I. The performance criteria requires lighting

of62.97 foot-candles infield and 40.47 foot-candles
outfield for the 200' Radius Field.
c
RFP F-08-04
A factor of.8 is to be applied in determining the target
light value, in addition to the above adjustment for an
average lamp tilt factor. These factors applied will
result in a target lighting level of 50 foot-candles
infield and 30 foot-candles outfield.
2. Light level shall be derived from the equation of

and shall be calculated as follows:
a.) Initial light levels = ambient temperature factor
(A TF) x voltage (VF) x ballast factor (LTF).
b.) Target Light Levels = Initial light levels x lamp
Lumen depreciation (LLD) x luminaire dirt
depreciation (LDD).
3. Uniformity ratio - The foot-candle level shall have a
uniformity ratio or maximum to minimum ratio of not
C greater then 2.0:1 infield, and 2.5:1 outfields or better.
Kilowatt consumption - the kilowatt consumption of
the entire system shall not exceed 153.60 kilowatts per
hour.
