Summary:

On September 16, 2025, the Council extended the price agreements with GSC Lighting and Supply and Border States Industries for streetlight supplies. Given the extended lead times and scarcity of several items, staff requested Procurement to seek an alternative supplier. Consequently, the City issued a bid in September and received a single proposal from Anixter Inc.

 

This price agreement is for streetlight supplies to support the maintenance and enhancement of the City’s streetlight system.  The equipment includes streetlight poles, bases  and fixtures to replace poles that are knocked down, damaged by weather, fail inspections, receive poor inspection ratings, or require installation in new areas of the City, as well as streetlight components such as bulbs, photocells, cabinets, controllers, wiring, fuses, and other miscellaneous items necessary for ongoing maintenance.

 

Staff recommend award of contract with Anixter Inc. for a three (3) year term with the options to renew for additional contract periods

Anticipated expenditures for the contract term are $500,000. Funding will be from the Traffic Operations operating budget.
