Title
Seasonal Lighting Improvements - Board Approval
History
In 2008, the Public Works Department began a program of upgrading the existing seasonal lighting system in the Village. The current system has been unreliable and difficult to maintain due to high and erratic voltages.
On April 21, 2008, the Board of Trustees approved accepting the proposal from The Edward Electric Company of Hillside, Illinois, for the upgrade of the seasonal lighting system in the Village. At that time, The Edward Electric Company submitted the lowest proposal for the unit pricing per light pole for a three-year period (2008 through 2010). The work completed in 2008 came in under budget. We have been advised by The Edward Electric Company that the pricing for 2009 will remain the same as 2008 ($1,241.50 per light pole). Therefore, the Public Works Department would like to continue this work on 94th Avenue and 151st Street this year.
On July 13, 2009, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
The 2008/2009 Fiscal Year Budget has a Board approved Line Item 054-0000-499.71-25 for Street Light Pole Seasonal Lighting.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve extending the proposal/contract with The Edward Electric Company of Hillside, Illinois, for the 2009 Seasonal Lighting Improvements of forty-one (41) poles for a cost not to exceed $1,241.50 per light pole with the third year of the proposal to be renewable at the sole discretion of the Village for the Board approved budgeted encumbered amounts in fiscal year 2010.
