Title
Replacement of Streetlight Controller Cabinet 9750 Ravinia - Proposal
History
On September 6, 2015, an unknown vehicle struck and caused major damage to the street light controller cabinet located at 9750 Crescent Park Circle directly east of Ninety7Fifty on the Park. The controller cabinet contains the relevant components and circuitry necessary to control on-off functions of street lights and holiday outlets in the immediate area. Staff immediately contacted our traffic signal electrical maintenance company, MEADE of McCook, IL, to install a temporary controller cabinet to provide uninterrupted street lighting to the area. While the Village is not charged for the use of the temporary control cabinet, a nominal installation charge will be incurred due to the emergency response. To facilitate the permanent repair, staff contacted vendors to solicit proposals to replace the damaged controller cabinet. Staff received proposals from two vendors. MEADE of McCook, IL submitted a proposal to replace the lighting cabinet for $ 9,720.00, and Rag’s Electric of Darien, IL submitted a proposal for $9,825.00.
Based on cost and expedient response to install a temporary controller, staff recommends that the proposal from MEADE of McCook, IL is accepted for $9,720.00.
On October 5, 2015, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
Funds needed to complete these repairs are available in the insurance fund, account #092-0000-452210.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve to accept the proposal from MEADE, McCook, IL to install the replacement streetlight controller cabinet at 9750 Crescent Park Circle for a not-to-exceed cost of $9,720.00.
