AGREEMENT WITH XCEL ENERGY FOR THE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
OF JUNO TRAILWAY LIGHTING
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve agreement with Xcel
Energy for the installation and maintenance of Juno Trailway Lighting.
Overview
On April 12, 2018, the Mayor and City Council awarded a contract to McNamara Contracting
for 2018 Miscellaneous Roadway Repairs and Overlays which included the reconstruction of the
Juno Trailway. The City has contracted with Xcel Energy for street and trail lighting in the past.
The current contract for the lighting along the Juno Trailway is near the end of its term. The
City worked with Xcel Energy to evaluate the current 23-year-old lighting system and
determined the system should be replaced due to the current condition of the poles and fixtures.
The new lighting system will consist of 17 fiberglass light poles and fixtures and new
underground wiring within a conduit at a cost of $26,792.00. Xcel Energy will be responsible for
maintaining the entire system and the City will incur a monthly fee for the electricity and
maintenance.
Considering the Juno Trailway is a portion of the designated Lake Marion Regional Greenway,
City staff is currently working with Dakota County staff on the development of a Joint Powers
Agreement whereby both parties would split the cost of the trail reconstruction, trail lighting and
the installation of a Rapid Flasher Beacon on 205th Street by the Juno Trailway trailhead.
Primary Issues to Consider
• The existing trail lights are coming to the end of their useful life and are in need of
replacement.
