Title
Old Orland Streetlight Improvements - Proposal
History
The Public Works Department has begun the program of installing decorative light poles in the Old Orland business and residential areas from 144th Place on the south to 143rd Street on the north and Beacon Avenue on the east to West Avenue on the west. In 2008, sixteen (16) light poles were installed in the area.
The contractor who was awarded the contract last year was Hickey Electrical Contractors, Inc. of Oak Forest, Illinois. The firm that performed the actual fieldwork for them last year was Lyons & Pinner Electric Companies of LaGrange, Illinois.
Public Works has requested an updated cost to complete the project this year with the installation of the remaining thirty-one (31) poles. This cost would include the purchase and installation of the poles, all wiring, installation and hookup to the existing lighting controllers.
We have received quotes from three vendors:
Hickey Electrical Contractors, Inc. of Oak Forest, Illinois $9,061.00 per pole
The Edward Electric Company of Orland Park, Illinois $6,750.00 per pole
Lyons & Pinner Electric Companies of LaGrange, Illinois $7,394.29 per pole
On September 14, 2009, by a vote of 2-0 with 1 abstention, the Public Works and Engineering Committee moved to recommend this item to the Village Board for approval.
INFORMATION PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED AS PART OF THE SEPTEMBER 14, 2009, PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING COMMITTEE PACKET.
Financial Impact
The 2008/2009 Fiscal Year Budget has a Board approved line item 053-0000-431.71-30 in the amount of $217,000 for Old Orland Streetlight Improvements.
With the assistance of Representative McCarthy, we were recently notified that we have been awarded $1,000,000 from HB 313 Member Initiatives funding; $225,000 of this amount has been designated to fund streetlighting and infrastructure. The Village will therefore utilize the HB 313 funding to pay for the Old Orland Streetlighting Improvements and will be able to utilize the funds included in the FY2009 budget for this project to fund other projects. One of the projects funded will be the Wolf Road Bike Path in the amount of $40,000.
