Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to purchase aluminum and fiberglass light poles and aluminum bases to replenish stock for maintenance of the City’s street light distribution system and new residential street lighting programs.
The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids for the purchase of aluminum and fiberglass light poles and aluminum bases for the Division of Power in accordance with Section 329.06 (SA005088). Sixty-eight (68) vendors were solicited: sixty-three (63) MAJ; three (3) MBR, one (1) M1A, and 1 (1) AS1. Five (5) MAJ were received and opened on September 5, 2013. The Division of Power recommends the award be made to Lightle Enterprises of Ohio, LLC, the lowest, responsive and best bidder for Items 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 in the amount of $155,414.90 (see attached bid tabulation).

This section of the invitation to bid requires that alternates must be detailed with specifications attached to the bid. Path Master did not attach specifications to the bid, therefore they are non-responsive. Item 5 will not be awarded at this time and will be bid informally as needed.
