TO: George Scarborough, City Manager
FROM: Ronald C. Sievers, Director
Public Lands and Facilities
SUBJECT: Approval of Specifications and Authorization to
Call for Bids - City Street Light Repairs
RECOMMENDATION
By motion, approve the Specifications for City Street Light Repairs
and authorize the call for bids.
SITUATION
The City of San Juan Capistrano has approximately 1200 City owned
street lights which are maintained annually. Currently, the City
receives bids and authorizes maintenance and repairs on a per job
basis. The purpose of soliciting an annual contract for City owned
street lights is to lower the per job costs and give the City the
flexibility of either performing more work for the same amount of
money or, if necessary, to reduce annual costs without
substantially reducing service levels . Also, the establishment of
an annual contract will significantly reduce the staff time
currently expended using "per job" pricing. Pricing will be
requested on both a per hour basis and a per lamp basis to
determine the best rate.
After bids are received, they will be analyzed to determine if an
annual contract would be more economical than the current per job
method of bidding.
