RE: Approve Purchase of Lighting Poles and Fixtures to Pacific Lighting & Standards Company and
TAPCO for the Pioneer Riverwalk Project 21-18 ($92,395.70)
BACKGROUND
The Common Council allocated funds in the 2021 CIP for the Pioneer Riverwalk Construction and alterations to
the intersection of 6th Avenue and South Main Street. As part of this project the City’s Electric Division is to
purchase and supply the lighting poles, fixtures and traffic signal equipment to ensure compliance with the City’s
lighting and signal standards. Installation of the equipment will be coordinated by the electrical subcontractor for
the project. The Common Council awarded the construction contract to Vinton Construction Company at their
August 24, 2021 meeting under Resolution 21-427.
ANALYSIS
Electric Division staff secured a proposal for the required lighting poles and fixtures equipment for this project
from both Pacific Lighting & Standards and TAPCO, suppliers for the City’s Riverwalk standardized lighting poles,
fixtures and signal equipment. Purchasing has confirmed this purchase is in accordance with Section 12-11 (sole
source/standardization exception) of the Municipal Code.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total fiscal impact for both purchases is $92,395.70. The cost for the lighting Riverwalk poles and fixtures from
Pacific Lighting & Standards is $68,552.00 and will be charged to A/N#: 03230740-7216-63073 (Riverwalk
Construction South Main to RR Tracks). The traffic signal equipment cost from TAPCO is $23,843.70 and will be
charged to A/N#: 03210410-6809-04118 (21-18 Pioneer Riverwalk Phase 1). The Wisconsin Department of
Transportation will reimburse the City $20,350.00 for the cost of the traffic signal equipment.
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 Pacific Lighting & Standards in the amount of $68,552 and the traffic
signal equipment to TAPCO, in the amount of $23,843.70
