Title
Resolution to Authorize the Purchase of Shakespeare Streetlight Poles from Madison Electric Company ($39,960.00) (8 Votes Required)
Memorandum
The attached resolution will authorize the purchase of thirty-five Shakespeare Streetlight Poles from Madison Electric Company for installation in Garden Homes Park. This material is necessary to complete a pathway lighting improvement project in the park that will not only improve the lighting but will decrease energy and maintenance costs and improve safety.
The project plan in Garden Homes Park calls for the removal of thirty-five deteriorating concrete streetlight poles currently lighting the pathways. The poles will be replaced with thirty-five fiberglass streetlight poles. The installation of the fiberglass poles will also include the installation of LED lighting. The change to LED lighting will give the City an anticipated 50 to 80 percent energy and maintenance savings.
This project is part of the overall project plan to achieve the renewable energy targets that City Council passed via resolution R-175-5-06. The plan to achieve the established targets calls for the upgrade of 800+ city owned streetlights outside of the DDA area. This process begins our project
The City has standardized the use of Shakespeare Street Light Poles throughout the City. The poles are fiberglass, which reduces maintenance and increases safety. A fiberglass pole will not rust and causes less damage and injury in the event of an accident. In addition, the use of a standardized pole reduces the inventory requirements and presents a standard look thought the City.
