An exten~' thi~° 13) calendar days was
granted them by th" ~ °i`l on April 13; 1871; and it
appears from thei ~~, hat they are .still en.coun--
tering diffic~ -~.:°5 in o'oo;,, g the necessary l~zard.ware.
Th -ter is self explana as to the cause of
the which is beyond the cor` ~ of the contractor,
ar 'therefore is recommended that ontract time
`he subject contract 'ne extended to P~ 1971.
Irr order to eliminate a recurrence of thi'°situation
on future projects a change in policy and~or procedures
would be required, as follows
1) Po11.cy change to permit the use of .mercury
vapor luminaires in lieu of incandescent
luminaires on ;all projects. Origlna7. cast
is about the same, but energy costs a;:e about
50% less (f'or tkre name level of i7.lum:i.nation)
and lamp l:i.f.'e is increased from 1.,UU0'--.hours
to 16,0001"krours, ksest e;=is+:ing systems could
be converted to mercury vapor.

2) Continue the use of incandescent 1.umina.ires,,
with i;he City buyin and stocking tkre luminaires
and supplying them to the eorztractors.
If tlae Council directs., a det,a9.:i.ed compar:fson of the
f.wo alternates, including ;.nitial ar~d cperat:~.~{€ costs,
+rtill be prepared for. presensation at a %'uture meeting.
