zn response to the Leisure Activities Committee request for
information on the cost of lighting the George Pearkes all-weather
soccer field, I have attached a sketch with Figures 1 and 2 showing
. Power Souvee the problem. Figure lL shows how a standard practice size field

g . oH : would fit into the layout at George Pearkes School. I£ the poles

ow Weg ina SF: , could be placed as shown for desired location, each pole would
, require five lamps rated at 1,000 watts in order to provide a
uniform level of lighting to an intensity consistent with practice
standards. Because these poles would interfere with the playing
field for the two ball diamonds, it is necessary to locate then
outside of the area of the all-weather field. To produce the same
level of lighting on the soccer field, each pole would require nine
lamps of 1,000 watts each.

The $51,000 cost estimate is based on about $26,000 for poles
and luminares, about $9,000 for the control panel plus underground
wiring from the power source on Regina Street, and about $16,000
for installation. If the lighting could be place adjacent to the
soccer field, the costs could be reduced by $8,000 for materials,
$4,009 for installation, and if the power source were adjacent to
the field, an additional $3,000 could be saved.

Figure 2 shows an arrangement whereby the soccer field would
be shifted over to cne side of the large field and cone of the ball
diamonds would be eliminated. As you can see from the sketch this
would not really be an acceptable solution because the posts would
be in the outfield of the remaining ball diamond. i: would appear
that it would not be possible to include a ball ¢:urond within a
minimum cost lighting solution for a soccer field.
