Implementing Resolution <br /> ? Set Public Hearing For <br /> CONTINUED TO <br /> <br /> LL_ FILE NUMBER <br /> CITY MANAGER <br /> <br /> RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> <br /> Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the attached agreement with <br /> Macadee Construction, Inc. to rewire the streetlight system on Broadway and Sycamore Street for <br /> an amount not to exceed $172,000, subject to nonsubstantive changes approved by the City <br /> Manager and City Attorney. <br /> <br /> <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> <br /> The street lighting systems on Broadway and Sycamore Street are high voltage, low amperage <br /> systems that are antiquated and obsolete. The system is a single-wire series that has been a <br /> constant source of maintenance problems. This system uses a one-of-a-kind incandescent lamp <br /> that the manufacturer has stopped producing. The City has a small supply of replacement lamps <br /> and there are no more available on the market. This creates an urgent need to install modern <br /> street light fixtures. <br /> <br /> To install more updated fixtures, the system needs to be rewired to enable a multiple wire 240-volt <br /> system. The intent is to use the existing conduit, remove the obsolete series-type wire and install <br /> new wires with new fixtures, ballasts, and lamps. <br /> <br /> On February 9, 2012, Requests for Proposals were mailed to 27 electrical contractors, ten of <br /> which are based in Santa Ana. A total of 7 proposals were received on March 1, 2012, none from <br /> Santa Ana contractors. The proposals were evaluated by a panel comprised of representatives <br /> from the Public Works Agency using the following criteria: organizational credentials, experience, <br /> work plan, and pricing. The ratings for the 7 respondents are as follows: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 25C-1 <br />
