BACKGROUND:

The City of Joliet’s Electric Division purchases materials to maintain the existing City owned streetlights.  The Public Service Committee will review this matter.

 

CONCLUSION:

Lumec is the sole source manufacturer of the majority of the decorative streetlights and arterial streetlight luminaires throughout the City.  Chicago Lightworks is the local representative for Signify North America Corporation, who is the parent company of Lumec.  The City requested and was provided a quote in the amount of $59,700.00 from Chicago Lightworks for the replacement of arterial streetlight luminaire materials.  The ordering and payment for the materials will be made directly through Signify North America Corporation.

 

Section 2-438 of the City of Joliet Code of Ordinances states that purchases whose estimated cost is in excess of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) may be awarded without written specifications or bidding under certain circumstances.  Two (2) of these circumstances apply:

 

(a)                     Purchases which may only be practicably made from a single source;

 

(f)                     Purchases when authorized by a concurring vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the Mayor and City Council.

 

Sufficient funds exist utilizing the General Fund PW Electrical / Supplies - Equip Parts (Org 09028000, Object 536104, $59,700.00).
