Explanation
§ The General Service Department’s Facilities Operations provides around-the-clock maintenance and caretaking services for approximately 200 city-owned facilities that comprise 4.4 million square feet of space.
§ As a result, there is considerable demand for electrical lighting components and related supplies including but not limited to luminaires, lamps, ballasts, dimmers, wiring devices, ceiling fans, photo controls, lenses, repair parts and any accessories and related components necessary for new or retrofit requirements.
§ On March 3, 2023, the city issued an Invitation to Bid; two bids were received.
§ State Line Lighting, Inc and Sid Tool Co., dba MSC Industrial Supply Company, were selected as the lowest responsive, responsible bidders.
§ Potential price adjustments may be considered based on legitimate and justified increases in the cost of doing business. The ability to consider price adjustments also allows the city to accept decreases, if warranted.
§ Annual aggregate expenditures are estimated to be $485,000.
