Title
Purchase of Handholds for Fiber Conduit Installations between Centennial Pool and Orland Park Health & Fitness and Franklin Loebe Center and Parks Administration Building - Proposals
History
The Village Board recently approved a number of pending projects to extend fiber optic conduit from the Franklin Loebe Center to the Parks Administration Building. The Village will also install fiber optic conduit from the Centennial Park Aquatics Center to the Orland Park Health and Fitness Center. In addition to the conduit, Village staff needs to purchase and install Handholds, concrete fiber ground boxes for accessing the fiber optic housed in the conduit. The installation will be performed by village staff. Purchase and installation of the fiber will be moved forward separately.
Staff received two proposals from vendors for the purchase of the Handholds needed to complete the projects. Proposals were received from Helsel-Jepperson Electrical Inc. of Chicago, Heights, IL ($6,147.79); and CED/Efengee Electrical Supply of Tinley Park, IL ($5,984.00). A proposal was also requested from Steiner Electrical but no response was received. Staff is recommending purchasing material from CED/Efengee Electrical at a cost not to exceed $5,984.00.
On June 5, 2017, this item was reviewed by the Public Works Committee and recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.

Recommended Action/Motion
