All new pumps (display, waterfall, filter, sump) and mechanical equipment shall be installed in the existing underground vault. The underground vault shall also receive new lights, receptacles, ventilation, and gas detection systems. New, pre-fabricated buildings will be installed at the northwest corner of the Selena Auditorium to house new electrical controls and new chemical treatment equipment. The pre-fabricated buildings will be installed on an appropriate foundation to provide a finish floor elevation that is a minimum of 4' above natural ground. The existing fountain lighting shall be replaced with new, multicolored, programmable LED lights using new conduits. The external surface of the fountain and waterfall will be restored to include replacement of broken concrete, concrete cleaning, joint repairs, resealing of concrete, waterproofing of upper and lower fountain basins, refurbishment of the bronze nozzles, and replacement of the missing granite energy dissipators in the waterfall. New electrical controls will provide web-based connection to the City's network allowing City staff to control all fountain functions from remote locations.
