TO: CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
FROM: EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT:
DISCUSSION:
DOWNTOWN LANDSCAPE PLANTERS:
1. APPROVE PEDESTRIAN LIGHT STANDARD FOR DOWNTOWN.
2. APPROVE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR LANDSCAPE PLANTERS ON
SANTA CRUZ AVENUE.
(CONTINUED FROM 10/21/96 and 11/4/96)
Action on the Downtown Landscape Planters was continued from the October 21, 1996 and November 4, 1996
meetings. Please refer to the Agency report dated October 16, 1996. The schedule for the project that was included
in that report has been revised because approval of the plans and specifications has been delayed. The schedule
provided below assumes Agency approval of plans and specification on November 18, 1996.
1. November 18 - Agency Approves Plans and Specifications.
This will include the selection of the light standards, choice of colors & material and site selection.
2. January 21 - Agency Awards the Bid "Building & Engineering (to finish)."
Assumes that acceptable bids are received.
3. February 7 - Contractor provides Bonds, Insurance & 1997 Business License.
Notice to Proceed is issued.
4. February 24 - Contractor begins work
Contractor will need four to six parking spaces for working and staging materials. Pedestrians will be
redirected during various phases of construction.
5. April 7* - Work is complete.
*Date would be extended equal to the number of rain days.
At the November 4, 1996 meeting, the Agency requested staff to research the questions listed below. Each question
is followed by a staff response.
1. Will the post light illuminate the sidewalk as well as the candy cane light?
The post light uses a reflector to direct the light down toward the sidewalk while the candy cane light . The
pedestrian lights will use 70 watt High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps and the lights will be mounted on 11'
poles. According to the lighting manufacturer's representative, the post light will illuminate the sidewalk at
1 footcandle over a 7' radius and the candy cane light will produce the same amount of light over a 14' radius.
Beyond the 14' radius, both lights provide about the same amount of light. Both lights will achieve the desired
increase in light at crosswalks and intersections. Attached are the manufacturers lighting specifications for
both lights.

2. Compare the maintenance costs of Light #4 and Light #5?
There is virtually no difference in the maintenance cost between Lights #4 and #5 since they are constructed
of the same materials. Both light poles are made of aluminum and the lenses are made of acrylic or
polycarbonate which resist breakage. It is possible to specify concrete poles, however concrete poles cost
about $800 more than aluminum poles and are much heavier which may increase installation cost. The
advantages of prestressed concrete poles are listed below:
Increased strength and resilience.
► Provide greater longevity.
Do not require painting. (Concrete poles are coated with a graffiti resistant coating which must be
reapplied every 5-10 years.)
► Reduces exposure to elements.
► Provides enhanced appearance.
► Reduces maintenance costs.
• Pre -installed copper wiring.
3. What is the cost of Lights #3, #4, and #5?
The lights described below are shown on Attachment 2 of the Agency Report dated October 21, 1996.
• Candy Cane Light (Light # 3) - $1,400*
• Existing Light in Plaza (Light #4) - $1,300*
• Light discussed by Agency on November 4th (Light #5) - $2,300* with concrete pole, $1,300* with
aluminum pole.
* All prices shown are approximate..
4. Consider other finial for the top of the railing around the planters. Hold a design competition.
There are numerous fmial that can be used to decorate the top the railing around the planters. However, the
planters need to be repaired as soon as possible and holding a design competition will take about six months.
Staff recommends that round finials be used as shown on the plans so that the planters can be constructed
without delay. This will allow the Arts Commission to start working on the design competition for the fmials
without delaying construction. When a fmial is finally chosen, they can be easily added to the planter railings.
No funding has been appropriated to hold the design competition or purchase decorative fmials.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Redevelopment Agency Budget includes $72,000 for construction of downtown planters (Account 4420-77800).
The detail costs for the planters will be included with the report requesting award of bid.

General information
Ameron's Traditional Series poles are available in a variety of standard
and custom configurations. Constructed with the highest quality
prestressed concrete, these centrifugally cast, low -maintenance poles
are strong, durable and vibration resistant. All poles can be fitted with
single or double -arm luminaires manufactured by Ameron.
Surface treatment
The concrete shafts are lightly blasted to expose the texture and
beauty of the natural and terrazzo aggregates while maintaining
sharp definition ofdetails and patterns. As an option, poles can
be provided with surfaces imparted by the mold.
Colors and finishes
Many standard and custom aggregate colors are available. See the
separate aggregate selection sheet for details. Graffiti -resistant
coatings are available to protect concrete surfaces. High-performance
Amerlock* and Amershield'" coatings protect all metal parts and
accessories.
For more information about Ameron's Traditional Series poles,
contact any of our agents nationwide. For the agents in your area,
call toll -free 800-228-3679; in California 800-221-2989.

PHOTOMETRICS
Basic photometric data is provided for several models and H.I.D.
combinations. Please call our plant for other readings.
On the following scales, the number above the bottom line
indicates the distance in units of mounting height, i.e. for 10"
height 1=10", 2=20", etc. For 12" height 1=12", 2=24", 3=36",
etc. Multipliers for different heights are as follows: 8", 1.5; 12",
.69; 14", .51.
For conversion to different wattages, divide the lumens for the
wattage desired by the lumens for the wattage shown and
multiply the footcandles by the result. Example - To convert
from 150w HPS to 100w HPS as shown in the first diagram:
Step 1. Lumens desired = 9500
Lumens shown MR) = .59
Step 2. .59 x 1.8 = 1.06
.59 x 1.0 = .59 etc.
Individual isolux diagrams for many fixtures are available on
request.
