Sullivan's Electric Inc., Kitchener, Ontario at their tendered price of $176,767., including a contingency of $10,000., plus H.S.T. of $22,979.71, for a total of $199,746.71 BACKGROUND: Replacement of sports lighting is required at Peter Hallman Ball Yard to maintain service on two lit ball diamonds that currently utilize lighting materials that are over 10 years old and are no longer able to meet the requirements for night time play. New high efficiency technologies controlled remotely will replace the existing lighting materials and provide excellent quality night lighting, using less power overall and enable a third diamond, presently not lit for night play, to be lit for night play without the requirement of any new lighting poles or other infrastructure. The net result is an increase in playing field time, increased quality lighting, and improved efficiencies in terms of power demand and overall operating cost to maintain the lighting infrastructure.
