FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: APRIL 21, 2020
SUBJECT: APPROVAL FOR THE PURCHASE OF LED FIXTURES FOR THE
LIBRARY
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval for the purchase of LED fixtures for the
Library from Facility Solutions Group for the Public Works Department.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the General Facilities Capital Projects Fund 177 for
a total amount not to exceed $126,976.
BACKGROUND: This purchase will provide the third phase of new LED fixtures for the
fiction, non-fiction, Creatlt, teen, area history, and genealogy areas at the
Library. The new fixtures are made by the existing manufacturer to provide
a consistent look throughout the Library. Furthermore, these fixtures will
reduce energy consumption and require less ballast and bulb
replacements. When ordered, they will take approximately three to four
weeks to receive and a week to install.
This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing interlocal
agreement with The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative
(BuyBoard) as allowed by Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 271
and Texas Government Code, Chapter 791.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to
Facility Solutions Group. The Facilities and Purchasing staff reviewed the
contract for departmental specification compliance and pricing and
determined that the contract would best meet the needs of the City.
Staff recommends approval
