Service Area L-100 County Street Lighting District (Org 7394).

Sometime in the past year, vandals removed wire and copper-related products from large
sections of the Richmond Parkway street lighting system. The Public Works Department
asked the General Services Department to solicit bids for repairing the vandalism. On May
17, 2011, pursuant to informal bidding under Chapter 1108-3 of the County Ordinance Code
and Public Contract Code Section 22034, the following bids were received by the General
Services Department, Purchasing Division:
Continental Electric $106,743

The lowest responsible bid in the amount of $106,743 was submitted by Continental
Electric. Under Section 1108-3.208 of the County Ordinance Code, the General Services
Director can award informally-bid contracts up to $100,000 without Board involvement.
However, in this case, since the lowest bid exceeds $100,000, it is necessary for the
Board to approve the contract award. Public Contract Code Section 22034(f) would allow
the Board, by resolution adopted by a four-fifths vote, to award a contract for $106,743
to Continental Electric.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the contract is not awarded, necessary repairs to the Richmond Parkway street lighting
system would not be performed.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
