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.
