Funding for the additional lighting has been secured through donations and the allocations by the City of Lawton and LETA, however the existing electrical infrastructure at the park is not sufficient to support the expanded lighting. The attached plan shows the proposed electric line for ETP which will be completed in two phases. The Scope of Work covers the requirements necessary for a contractor to provide a quote the project. To accomplish this work in a timely fashion, staff intends to utilize the new State of Oklahoma OMES Job Order Contract No. SW0245.
