The Competitive Selection Committee recommends
adoption of a resolution approving the
selection of qualified firms, by rank order,
to provide a PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT
FOR "A STUDY ON HOW TO BEST ACHIEVE A COST
REDUCTION IN THE CITY'S STREET LIGHTING
SYSTEM"; Authorizing the City Manager to
negotiate a professional services contract with
the ranked firms; and directing the City
Manager to present a negotiated contract to the
City Commission for approval.
The estimated cost of the City's street lighting system for fiscal
year 1984-85 is $4,952,000. It would be to the City's advantage to
find ways to reduce this cost. Therefore, on October 11, 1984, the
City advertised for receipt of Letters of Interest from
professional consulting firms for conducting "A Study on How Best
to Achieve a Cost Reduction in the City's Street Lighting System".
On January 22, 1985, the Competitive Selection Committee, chaired
by the Director of the Department of Public Works, established the
rank order of the consulting firms that submitted proposals.
The attached resolution approves the selection by the Competitive
Selection Committee of qualified firms, by rank order; authorizes
the City Manager to negotiate a professional services contract with
the ranked firms; and directs the City Manager to present a
negotiated contract to the City Commission for approval.
