St. Lawrence County opens bids for solar-powered parking-lot lighting RFP
Summary
County fiscal officer Stephanie Curran read four bids for RFP 2026-20 seeking solar-powered parking-lot lighting; she noted pricing lines and missing addenda/non-collusion forms for some bidders and said staff will follow up.
County Principal Fiscal Officer Stephanie Curran opened a public bid opening for request-for-proposals 2026-20 for solar-powered parking-lot lighting for St. Lawrence County and read four vendor submissions, Curran said.
The bids listed SEPCO Solar Electric Power Company, Farm Road of Lighting America, Soltech and Solar Path. Curran reported per‑pole and line-item prices and noted documentation gaps in several submissions: some bids lacked a clearly completed addendum or the non‑collusion certification that the county requested. She said staff will contact bidders for missing materials.
Curran presented SEPCO Solar Electric Power Company first, saying the bid included a per‑pole price given as 1,885 and a “complete system” line with a value recorded as $6,001.82; freight to Canton was listed as $5,300. Curran said SEPCO had signed the non‑collusion page and the addendum.
The second submission, from Farm Road of Lighting America, was read as $70,000.75. Curran said she did not see the non‑collusion page or addendum for that quote and would request those documents from the vendor.
For Soltech, Curran reported numbers recorded in the bid as 83,200 for a per‑pole figure and $192,003.00 for light‑mounting hardware and a battery pack; she said Soltech had signed the non‑collusion form but the addendum was not present in the materials she read aloud.
Curran said Solar Path’s bid included signed non‑collusion and addendum pages, freight listed at $4,006.82 and an overall quote of $103,006.28.
Curran closed the session by thanking bidders: “I wanna thank everybody for bidding and we'll be in touch if we have any questions,” she said. The county did not award a contract at the opening; staff will review the bids, request any missing documentation, and proceed with the county’s procurement evaluation steps.
Note on transcript wording: the transcript record rendered the jurisdiction as “Saint Louis County” in one line; the issuing jurisdiction announced on the record by Curran is St. Lawrence County and has been used here for clarity. Several numeric lines in the read‑aloud are unclear in the transcript (for example, the SEPCO “complete system” line and Soltech per‑pole figure); the county will verify exact invoice/pricing lines during its review and outreach to bidders.
