SUBJECT:
EXTENSION OF PURCHASE ORDER - NEDCO LIGHTING
RECOMMENDATION:
That the purchase order PO#200386 issued to Nedco Electric be extended by $119,837 to
accommodate the additional purchase of pedestrian lighting and traffic poles, to be used
on the CAF and ISF funded improvements on King Street and adjacent to City Hall.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the King Street Streetscape project a contract for the supply of pedestrian lighting and
intersection poles was awarded by council to Nedco Electric through a competitive bidding
process (T09-005). The first phase of the King Street project is complete and roughly half of the
material has been delivered and installed.
In 2009, the City applied for and was awarded funding from two grant applications, namely the
Community Adjustment Fund (CAF) – “King Street Reconstruction” and the Infrastructure
Stimulus Fund (ISF) – “City Hall Lighting”. The scope of work covered by these grants include
the supply and installation of additional intersection poles on King Street and new pedestrian
lighting adjacent to City Hall (College Street, Young Street, Duke Street, Civic Square). For
continuity, the lighting types installed are the same as what has been installed as part of the
King Street Streetscape project.
REPORT:
The pedestrian lighting and intersection poles used in the first phase of the King Street project
were supplied by Nedco through a competitive bidding process (T09-005). To accommodate
the purchase of 19 additional pedestrian light poles which form part of the work being completed
under the CAF and ISF grant programs., the purchase order for Nedco must be increased by
$119,837.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The cost of the work identified in the grant applications has been previously approved by
Council and is based on a 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 funding model.
