ii <br />Indian River County, Florida <br />Department of Utility Services <br />Board Memorandum <br />Date: February 19, 2021 <br />To: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br />From: Vincent Burke, PE, Director of Utility Services <br />Through: Jennifer Hyde, Purchasing Manager <br />Prepared By: Terry Southard, Operations Manager, Utility Services <br />Rich Meckes, Wastewater Superintendent <br />Subject: West Regional WWTF Facility Lighting Retrofit <br />Background/Analysis: <br />The Indian River County Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS) West Regional Wastewater Treatment <br />Facility (WRWWTF) indoor and outside lighting is in need of replacement. The lighting currently in use at <br />this site is incandescent and requires 75% more energy than light emitting diode (LED) lighting. The <br />replacement LED lighting will provide brighter light at much lower wattages, and LED lighting also has an <br />extremely longer life span compared to incandescent lights. The replacement lighting will not only <br />provide better lighting and use less energy, it will also require much less maintenance. The retrofit of <br />the lighting requires the complete replacement of the lighting fixtures and bulbs. This work, when <br />complete, will have a one-year warranty period for labor and a five-year warranty period on the lights <br />from the date of install. <br />Per the Indian River County purchasing manual, items less than $3,500.00 do not require quotes. The <br />individual cost for the replacement of each lighting fixture is well below this purchasing requirement, <br />but the total for the replacement of all the lights exceeds $35,000.00 and requires Bid/RFP/RFQ, unless <br />waived by the County Administrator or Board of County Commissioners (BCC). The County <br />Administrator and the BCC have authority to approve procurements from $35,000 to $75,000. <br />Three competitive quotes for the replacement of the inside and outside lighting at the WRWWTF have <br />been received. Florida Blub & Ballast Inc. has provided the lowest quote for the replacement of the <br />WRWWTF Lighting with their Proposal Quote #24961 for a cost of $38,554.02. <br />Florida Blub & Ballast Inc. <br />$38,554.02 <br />All Suncoast Electric Inc. <br />$41,866.40 <br />Synergy Electric & Lighting <br />$42,933.20 <br />126 <br />
