WHEREAS, the Elm Street Redevelopment Project (School Street to
Sacramento Street) included a unique combination of streetscape improvements and overhead
lighting features intended to create an inviting, pedestrian -friendly corridor that connects the
parking structure on Sacramento Street to businesses downtown; and
WHEREAS, original improvements were completed in 2002 and included overhead
strand lighting that complimented the more traditional street lights that are located on large
streetlight poles. Over time, the overhead lights began to burn out, and during the Great
Recession, it was determined that maintaining the overhead lights was not a priority function of
the City at that time. The lights and support cable were subsequently removed; and
WHEREAS, staff has received requests to replace the overhead lights that were
previously removed in order to provide additional lighting and to restore the original design
elements of the Elm Street Redevelopment Project; and
WHEREAS, Lodi Municipal Code Section 3.20.070, Bidding, authorizes the City Council
to standardize specific supplies, services, and equipment when the commodity can be obtained
from only one vendor, if adopted by resolution of the City Council; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends that the City Council authorize standardization of the
Lumisphere LED overhead strand lights from Lumisphere USA, of Spotsylvania, Virginia, for the
City of Lodi; and
WHEREAS, staff further recommends that the City Council approve the purchase of
Lumisphere LED overhead strand lights for Elm Street - School Street to Sacramento Street,
from Lumisphere USA, of Spotsylvania, Virginia, in the amount of $13,093; and
WHEREAS, staff also recommends that the City Council appropriate funds in the
amount of $21,000 from General Fund Capital Outlay for this project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
authorize the standardization of the Lumisphere LED overhead strand lights from Lumisphere
USA, of Spotsylvania, Virginia, for the City of Lodi; and
