City approves purchase of new Christmas lights

(KNZA)--New Christmas lights will be displayed this year in downtown Hiawatha.

The Hiawatha City Commission Tuesday evening accepted the low bid submitted by Mosca Design, Inc., of Raleigh, North Carolina, for the new pole mounted lights in the amount of $13,410.

The bid was among four received and was well under what had been budgeted for the project.

The Commission also accepted a bid from Voss Lighting, of Kansas City, Missouri, for 380 LED bulbs for the city's post lantern street lights in the amount of $14,299.

The bid was among four received, and came in well under what had been estimated.

The street lights currently have metal halide bulbs which use about 70 watts of power.  The LED bulbs will use about 25 watts.

City crews will install the new LED bulbs.
