DEPARTMENT/ENTITY: ___________________________________________________________
REQUEST:
Kyle-Approve sole source purchase of 27 LED Decorative Street Lights with Fixtures
from Sternberg Lighting c/o GrayBar Electric Company at an approximate cost of
$225,000.00. A firm quote will be provided within the Council packet.
JUSTIFICATION: (attach any additional justification and/or documentation)
With sole source manufacture direct purchasing, the City of Spearfish can purchase the 27
street lights which will ultimately be installed along Jackson Boulevard during phase 2
work. A sole source purchase has been determined by City staff as appropriate in this case
since these poles were made with essential parts that are proprietary to the manufacturer
and will exactly match the lighting installed in Phase 1. These lights were also bid
competitively within the Phase 1 project.
(If project still requires approvals or is time sensitivity, explanation will be expanded.)
FUNDING:
Budgeted item for 2020. Funded from 201-43120-4330 (74.2%),
602-43350-4330 (7.9%), & 604-43250-4330 (17.9%): Project 19C
RECOMMENDATION: City Attorney has reviewed and City staff recommends for
approval.
