Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation amends the 2004 Capital Improvements Budget, authorizes the transfer of funds within the Voted 1995 and 1999 Street Lighting and Electricity Distribution Improvements Fund and authorizes the Public Utilities Director to enter into a contract to install a street lighting system using wood poles and overhead lines for the area known as Berwyn-East.

The bid opening was advertised in the City Bulletin and five bids were received and opened by the Director of Public Utilities on July 14, 2004. Four bids were from majority business enterprises and one from a female business enterprise, U. S. Utility Company Inc. Their bid was the lowest responsive bid received and an award is recommended in the amount of $94,696.75. A bid tabulation is attached for review.
U. S. Utility Company, Inc.'s contract compliance number is 341606689.

In addition, approval is requested for the expenditure of $18,030.00 to pay the estimated construction inspection costs to the Transportation Division.

Emergency action is requested in order that the contract may be executed and construction may begin during the 2004 construction season.

FISCAL IMPACT: $110,000 was budgeted in the 2004 CIB for this project; however, after bids were received and inspection costs were estimated, the cost for the project is $112,276.75. Therefore, it is necessary to transfer the difference of $2,726.75 from the miscellaneous Street Lighting Project 670003.
