Summary

The county awarded a $45,900 construction contract to EC Electric for purchase and installation of 32 specialized LED fixtures for tennis and pickleball courts at the Tillamook County Fairgrounds; work follows fair season and should finish by September.

The Tillamook County Board of Commissioners approved a non-prevailing wage construction contract with EC Electric for a tennis/pickleball court interior lighting upgrade at the county fairgrounds, with a total project cost of $45,900 funded from Transient Lodging Tax (TLT) restricted funds.

Isabel Gildan, administrative analyst, said the county procured bids for the specialty LED fixtures and received four bids; EC Electric submitted the low bid. The project includes 32 fixtures specifically designed for tennis and pickleball courts with specialized brackets and a contractor layout plan. Gildan said the work is scheduled to begin after the fair and should be completed by September.

Commissioners and representatives of local player groups supported the project, noting the facility’s frequent use by both tennis and pickleball players and the safety and usability benefits of improved lighting. The board voted unanimously to approve the contract; the county will coordinate layout details with users and the contractor before installation.
