Roscoe committee recommends switching streetlight supplier to realize modest savings
Summary
Staff recommended switching the village’s dawn‑to‑dusk streetlight supplier from ComEd to a third‑party supplier; bids showed about $1,000 in annual savings and trustees authorized staff to proceed with vendor paperwork, favoring a 48‑month Constellation contract.
Village staff told the committee that a recent comparison between ComEd and third‑party suppliers for dawn‑to‑dusk streetlight accounts produced a modest savings opportunity. "It's about 1000 dollars a year, but it's something," the staff member said, summarizing the current bid results.
Staff recommended the 48‑month Constellation contract because it produced one of the better rates among bids received; they provided fresh bid numbers during the meeting and said a final contract could yield slightly better rates if the board approves within the next meeting cycle.
Trustees signaled support and staff were directed to proceed with procurement steps and return with finalized contract terms if necessary. The committee’s action authorizes administration to continue vendor paperwork for the recommended contract and report back with a final contract for execution or further board approval.
