The bid opening was advertised in the City Bulletin and five responsive bids were received and opened by the Director of Public Utilities on March 10, 2004.

The bids have been evaluated and an award is recommended to Vaughn Industries, LLC, a majority business enterprise, as the lowest responsive bid received, in the amount of $233,296.68. Their contract compliance number is 364381623. A bid tabulation is attached.

In addition, approval is requested for the expenditure of $33,268.00 to pay the estimated construction inspection costs to the Transportation Division.

The Glenbrook Street Lighting Project is in need of $266,564.68 in funding from the Special Income Tax Fund, $266,564.68 will be made available to the Voted 1999 Street Lighting and Electricity Distribution Improvements Fund.
