RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval for the purchase and installation of LED
tree lighting on South Main Street between Dallas Road and State
Highway 114 from IlluminArt Inc.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in CVB account 115, for a total amount not to exceed
$28,000.

approximately 83 trees on the east and west side of South Main street
with an estimated 58,500 lights, heavily wrapped 10 - 12' high in trees
along the sidewalk.
The quote from IlluminArt Inc. allows for the purchase and installation of
LED lights. Once the installation of the lights is complete and the final
need for battery packs or outlets is assessed, staff will utilize the
remainder of the budgeted amount in the account for the purchase of
those items.
The quotes received are as follows:
IlluminArt Inc. $22,480
First Choice Lights $28,200
I'm Your Handyman Services $29,835
The 2019 installation represents the first phase of a three-year program.
During 2020, additional enhancements will be added to signify the
opening of Grapevine Main. In 2021 the final phase of enhancements will
be presented to Council for consideration.
Enhancing South Main Street has been the desire of Council for some
time, but resources had not been available. Resources are now available
in the new budget year.
