1. OBJECTIVES
The primary objective of this project is to enhance safety and visibility along the 400-foot
pedestrian walkway located after the turnstile. This will be achieved by installing new LED bollard
lights, upgrading existing pole lights to LED, and repairing non-operational light poles.
2. BACKGROUND
Pedestrians have reported that the walkway is inadequately lit, creating a safety concern,
particularly during the early morning hours. The project addresses these concerns by providing a
comprehensive lighting solution. The project site includes a 400-foot walkway, existing decorative
light poles, and approximately 100 old concrete bases that are no longer in use. All new lighting
will be connected to the existing electrical panel located near the turnstile.
3. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
The contractor shall:
• Provide and install new LED bollard lights featuring an 8" round, 42" high design
with a black finish, 4000K (Neutral White) color temperature and minimum output
of 2000 lumens along the 400-foot walkway. Submit technical specifications,
product cut sheets, and up to three samples of the proposed LED bollard fixture for
customer review and approval prior to material procurement and installation.
• Install new concrete bases for the bollard lights using Sono tube concrete forms. The
concrete bases shall be a minimum of 10 inches in diameter (at least 2 inches wider
than the 8-inch bollard fixture) and must extend 2 inches above the finished ground
level. The concrete shall have a minimum compressive strength of 3,000 PSI, be
poured to a depth extending below the local frost line for stability, feature a smooth
trowel finish with chamfered exposed edges, and utilize the manufacturer's exact
anchor bolt templates. The contractor must ensure all concrete bases are installed at
a consistent level elevation along the path so that all installed bollard lights are level
and uniform in height with each other.
• Provide rigid electrical conduit for the cables, ensuring they are stubbed up exactly
in the center of each concrete base to properly align with the bollard fixture. An
open-trench inspection is required to verify the conduit depth meets requirements
prior to backfilling; the contractor must provide a minimum of 2 days' notice to
schedule this inspection. Once the inspection is passed and the trenches/holes are
filled, the contractor shall tamp the surrounding soil and apply seed and straw.
• Space the new bollard lights every 20 feet, or according to the manufacturer's
specifications, to maximize lighting and ensure optimal, consistent illumination. The
concrete bases shall be installed with a setback of approximately 12 inches from the
edge of the sidewalk to the face of the bollard light or manufacturer
recommendation.
• Install a dusk-to-dawn photocell control system to automatically turn the new bollard
lights on and off based on ambient light levels.
• Repair the two existing light poles that are currently non-operational. Install new
conduit and wires connecting the existing light poles to the junction box located near
Building 34.

new bollard lights to connect them to the existing breaker box located next to the
turnstile. Picture is provided at the end of document.
