Resolution accepting the bid of Muth Electric Inc. in the amount of $152,035.00 for the Mid-America Center Ballroom and Pre-Function Lighting. Project #BM-23-03 |

| | | | | | | | Background/Discussion
• On December 6, 2022 three bids were received through the City bidding software, Ion Wave, as follows:
Muth Electric Inc., Mitchell, SD $152,035.00
Bluffs Electric Inc., Council Bluffs, IA $199,270.00
ABC Electric Inc., Council Bluffs, IA $248,695.00
Engineers Estimate (ETI) $145,755.00
• The lighting for the Mid-America Center ballroom and pre-function areas was installed when the building was new in 2002. The dimming controls for this lighting are no longer functioning and replacement parts for the system are unavailable due to the use of compact fluorescent lamps used in the main pendant fixtures and high wattage halogen bulbs used in the downlights. The use of these lamps also contribute to high utility costs.
• The work includes, but is not limited to, replacement of the dimming system with a new dimming system that has components that are more readily available for repair and allow for future changes in equipment without replacement of the system and retrofitting existing fixtures with LED lights that will reduce the amount energy used at the facility. Materials include new retrofit led light fixtures to replace the 250 watt halogen downlights, retrofit led light modules for the compact florescent pendant fixtures, new dimming modules compatible with the retrofit and existing light fixtures, associated wiring, partition sensors and new control interfaces for the different areas.
• The total cost of this project is $176,535 which includes $24,500 for professional services provided by ETI. The project is included in the FY23 CIP with funding from the General Fund - Gaming.
• The project is scheduled to be completed by May 12th, 2023.
