Report Title


 

Streetlight Installation and Maintenance                    

Recommendations

 

It is recommended that contract  L-450-10 “Streetlight Installation and Maintenance” be awarded to Kohut Electric, for the tendered amount of $19,450 plus GST.

 

Policy Implications

 

This contract was recently tendered in the Northern News. Kohut Electric was the lowest of the two tenders received, and the only local contractor to submit a bid.

 

Budget Implications

 

This contract will see the first price increase since 2006. However this tender falls within the 2010 budgeted amount for this type of work.

 

Purpose

 

This contract covers the installation of new streetlights, as well as the maintenance of existing lights at pre-determined prices as set out in the contract.

 

Background

 

Kohut Electric has been providing us with excellent service in the performance of this contract since 1997. While the contract prices have increased, this is the first increase we have seen in four years, and can be attributed to inflationary pressure.
