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 FL003529 with the John A. Becker Company.
