Title
Resolution to Approve the Purchase of 75 Streetlight Luminaires from Graybar Electric Company, Inc. through the Michigan Delivering Extended Agreements Locally (MIDEAL) ($36,000.00)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval, please find a resolution to authorize the purchase of 75 LED streetlight luminaires from Graybar Electric Company, Inc. in the amount of $36,000.00. The luminaires will be used as replacements for when streetlights are damaged or no longer functional.
Graybar was chosen by the State of Michigan to provide “electrical, lighting, data communications and security products and related products, services and solutions - statewide” (Contract #171180000000463). Under MiDEAL, the State of Michigan allows Michigan cities to buy goods and services from state contractors. Purchasing streetlight luminaires from Graybar under the State contract saves time and resources by foregoing local procurement in favor of the procurement already done by the State. The total purchase of the luminaires is $36,000.00.
Budget and Fiscal Impact: The funding for the purchase of these devices is included in Engineering/Transportation Service Unit FY 2020 approved Operations and Maintenance Budget and appropriate capital budgets.
