About this file
These technical specifications detail electrical systems for the Ochoa Park Improvements project for the City of Tucson Parks and Recreation Department, prepared by GLHN Architects & Engineers, Inc. The comprehensive electrical specifications cover multiple technical sections including low-voltage electrical power conductors and cables, grounding and bonding systems, raceways and boxes, underground ducts and raceways, electrical identification, lighting control devices, transformers, panelboards, wiring devices, fuses, enclosed switches and circuit breakers, interior and exterior LED lighting, lighting poles and standards, and field lighting systems. The specifications provide detailed technical requirements for equipment selection, installation, testing, warranties, and performance standards for electrical infrastructure across various park lighting and electrical applications.
The project includes precise technical requirements for LED field lighting with specific performance criteria, including illumination levels for different sports fields (soccer, softball, baseball, football), spill light control, and a comprehensive 25-year warranty covering components, light levels, maintenance, and monitoring. The field lighting system will be manufactured by Musco TLC for LED, with requirements for structural design, pole specifications, control systems, remote monitoring, and communication. The technical specifications mandate structural calculations by a registered Arizona Structural Engineer, compliance with local lighting codes, and detailed testing protocols to ensure consistent light levels and performance across various park sporting facilities.
