Title
Street Light Repairs - Proposal
History
Public Works is responsible for the repair of street lights throughout the Village that are inoperative for a variety of reasons including underground faults, vehicle knock-downs, pole damage and inoperable internal components. When known, a responsible party causing the knock-down will be billed for street light pole repairs. In some instances contractors are used to facilitate repairs which are beyond the capability of Public Works staff and equipment.
To assist with repairs and replacement of several street light poles, staff solicited proposals from vendors with experience in street light pole repairs. The firms of Edward Electric of Orland Park, IL and Rag’s Electric of Darien, IL submitted proposals. The Village needs to repair/replace two 50-foot street light poles and two 30-foot street light poles. Rag’s Electric proposal for the pole repair/replacement work is $8,910.00 with Edward Electric’s proposal being $6,450.00.
Edward Electric of Orland Park, IL provided the lowest overall proposal cost for the repair work. Staff recommends that the proposal submitted by Edward Electric Company of Orland Park, IL be accepted for street light repair and replacement work. Any associated cable fault repairs will be performed on a time and material basis in an amount of approximately $3,000.
On August 3, 2015, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
Funds to cover the cost for this work are available in Streets Department Contract Services budget accounts.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve to accept the proposal from Edward Electric Company of Orland Park, IL for street light pole repair/replacement work and as-needed cable fault repair at a cost not to exceed $9,450.
