Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to establish a purchase order for Aluminum, Fiberglass and Cast Iron Poles and Aluminum Bases and Brackets needed to maintain the City's street lighting system. The material will be obtained in accordance with the terms and conditions of the universal term contract FL002885 with Becker Electric Supply. Their contract compliance number is 310553243.

Emergency action is requested due to an above-average number of poles damaged in traffic accidents and anticipated need for winter replacements making it necessary to order additional poles and bases prior to the expiration of the existing universal term contract.

Fiscal Impact: $110,000 was budgeted for the purchase of Aluminum, Fiberglass and Cast Iron Poles and Aluminum Bases and Brackets. However, it has become necessary to request this additional $50,000 due to a greater than anticipated need for replacement poles and bases. The additional funds will be made available through the deferment of other purchases in Object Level One 06. Approximately $75,000 was spent in 2004 and $90,000 was spent in 2005 for the purchase of Aluminum, Fiberglass and Cast Iron Poles and Aluminum Bases and Brackets.
