"Tne 1987-92 Capital Improvement Program includes funds for the ongoing maintenance and repairs to the seawal'l structure, deck and utilities. Phase I of this two-phase pro3ect includes rewiring all existing lighting standards on the seawall from the North Harbor south to the walkway~s terminus. In addition, we propose to replace eight existing lights with Olde Towne fixtures adjacent to Riverfront Park and fronting the proposed Kings Crossing project. ~Tb~ese improvements are warranted because of deteriorating, undersized and disturbed wiring caused by the natural elements and construction improvements adjacent to the seaw~all. Phas~ II will consist of rewiring all lighting standard~ in the~North Harbor, installing five additional lights and providing and additional power panel, if feasible, to~ serve ?ortside events. Bids were received for Phase I on January 6, 1988. The bids received were competitive and favorable with today's construction costs (see Attachment 1).
