SUBJECT:

Res 25-66 Approve Purchase of Lighting Poles and Fixtures from Enterprise Lighting LTD for the 15th Street Reconstruction Project 25-07 ($48,201.30)

BACKGROUND

The Common Council allocated funds in the 2025 CIP for the 15th Street Reconstruction Project, which includes paving, sidewalks, driveways and utilities. As part of this project, the City’s Electric Division is to purchase and supply the light poles and fixtures, to ensure compliance with the City’s lighting standards. Installation of the equipment will be coordinated by the electrical subcontractor for the project.

ANALYSIS

Electric Division staff secured a proposal for the required light poles and fixtures for this project from Enterprise Lighting LTD, supplier of the City’s standardized lighting poles and fixtures. Purchasing has confirmed this purchase is in accordance with Section 12-11 (sole source/standardization exception) of the Municipal Code.

FISCAL IMPACT

The cost for the lighting poles and fixtures from Enterprise Lighting LTD is $48,201.30, which is being charged to A/N# 03210410 6809 04507 (15th Street Reconstruction Project 25-07). This purchase is included within the total estimated cost for all Traffic Improvements CIP related items for this project.

RECOMMENDATION

Section 12-11 of the Municipal Code provides that, subject to approval of the City Manager, purchases may be made without following a formal competitive bidding process when the purchase is from only one source of supply or when standardization or compatibility is the overriding consideration. In accordance with Section 12-11 of the Municipal Code and with approval by the City Manager, Purchasing recommends the Common Council approve the lighting poles and fixtures purchase from Enterprise Lighting LTD, 2007 Pewaukee Road, Waukesha, WI 53188 for the amount of $48,201.30.
