This included many streetlights <br /> with wooden poles that had reached the end of their useful life. Several of the <br /> foundations had started to shift causing the poles to lean. <br /> On December 2, 2008, the City Council approved the award of the streetlight <br /> replacement 2008 -09 contract to the lowest responsible bidder, Lawrence Backhoe <br /> Service, in the amount of $249,990. At that time, a 20% contingency amount of $50,000 <br /> was approved to cover unforeseen project changes. <br /> The project has been completed to the City's satisfaction and staff recommends formal <br /> acceptance of the public improvements. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> Budget <br /> The base bid contract amount of $249,990 included replacement of 137 streetlights and <br /> 10 concrete foundation replacements.
