Source: 2008-09 CIP,
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The Court Avenue Streetscape
Rehabilitation Project includes removing tree grates, constructing planting
beds, landscaping, and replacing the street and pedestrian lights to coincide
with recent development in the Court Avenue corridor between
The new light fixtures selected
for Court Avenue have improved lighting characteristics and energy efficiency
over the existing fixtures. However, the
actual poles selected and delivered have a slightly different mounting
arrangement than envisioned in the preliminary design, which resulted in
problems connecting them to the existing bases.
Alternate poles were investigated to find a different mounting
arrangement. However, after considering
light characteristics, energy use, and historic aesthetics, it was determined
that the selected pole fixture was preferable and that the existing bases could
be modified to accept the poles.
This change order will include
installing extenders to the existing anchor bolts, forming and pouring new
concrete tops on the bases, and cutting and reinstalling brick around the bases
that require modification for the selected poles along Court Avenue.
