STRATEGIC OUTCOME:

Awarding this contract meets the desired outcome of Active and Appealing, as well as Unique and Creative by placing the new light poles and decorative lighting in Historic Downtown Yuma.

 

REPORT:

The City has been actively involved in numerous projects aimed at the revitalization of Historic Downtown Yuma. As part of these ongoing efforts, the City has noted that many of the ornate streetlight poles have become discolored and need replacement. In response to this, the City has formulated a comprehensive plan to address the issue.

In addition to replacing the discolored light poles, the City will also implement decorative lighting, similar to what is seen in other historic districts such as Little Italy in San Diego. Decorative lighting typically consists of strings of lights that create a festive and inviting atmosphere, enhancing the charm and appeal of the historic area.

The first phase of this project will focus on the 200 block of Main Street. The City will take direct responsibility for the purchase of the new light poles and decorative lighting. A separate electrical services contract will be utilized for the installation of both the light poles and the decorative lighting.

By integrating new lighting designs and replacing outdated fixtures, the City aims to enhance the visual appeal and safety of Historic Downtown Yuma, making it a more attractive destination for residents and visitors alike. These efforts reflect the City's commitment to preserving the historic character of the area while incorporating modern amenities that contribute to Downtown Yuma’s vibrant community atmosphere.
