Commission tables $8,600 pathway light replacement after request to seek local bids
Summary
A proposal from H and T Electrical to replace a damaged Founders Square pathway light at $8,592.18 was presented; commissioners asked staff to seek Portage-based quotes and voted to table the item pending further local outreach.
Staff presented a proposal from H and T Electrical to replace a bollard-style pathway light in Founders Square that was damaged in a storm, quoting $8,592.18 for the pole and fixture. Commissioners expressed a preference to try again to obtain quotes from Portage-based electrical contractors before approving work.
"$8,592.18," the presenter stated when asked for the exact cost. Commissioners pressed staff to reach back out to local firms; staff said prior outreach had sometimes gone unanswered but agreed to attempt local solicitations and report back. After discussion, a motion was made and approved to table the pole-replacement item so staff can seek local bids.
