RE: Approve Purchase of Street Lighting Fixtures from Enterprise Lighting LTD for
Electrical Division ($99,000.00)
BACKGROUND
About 10 years ago the Electrical Division installed LED retrofit kits in the acorn style street light fixtures
throughout the City. These kits are starting to fail and are no longer available. Staff has concluded the
best option for replacement is to purchase the complete light fixture that will match our current fixtures
with the most updated LED optics to help reduce glare and up/back light.
ANALYSIS
Electric Division staff secured a proposal from the suppliers for the City’s standardized lighting fixtures
(Enterprise Lighting LDT). Purchasing has confirmed this purchase qualifies as a standardization
exception to our purchasing ordinance.
FISCAL IMPACT
Each fixture has a cost of $990.00 each. Staff is seeking to procure 100 units at this time for a total cost of
$99,000.00. $75,082.19 of this cost would be charged to A/N#: 03230801 6540 61002 (Traffic/Paint/Sign
Material) and the balance of $23,917.81 would be charged to A/N#: 02230460 6529 (Street Lighting Non-
Inventory Supplies).
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 this purchase from Enterprise Lighting LTD, 2007 Pewaukee
Road, Waukesha, WI 53188 in the amount of $99,000.00.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
Jon G. Urben, General Services Manager Mark A. Rohloff, City Manager
