Background Information:
This request is for award of contract 220-262 for the purchase and installation of solar LED lighting from Graybar Electric of San Antonio, TX through US Communities Cooperative (Omnia Partners) Contract #EV2370, for Kenneth M. Copeland Memorial Park (El Camino Real Park), Dog Park, and River Ridge Park in the amount of $55,498.
Currently, Kenneth M. Copeland Memorial Park, previously known as El Camino Real Park, does not have lighting along the trail. Similarly, River Ridge Park has been without power since the 2015 floods and currently does not have working lighting. The Dog Park is also in need of lighting. Installation of the solar lighting within these parks will increase the safety and security of the areas for our park users in a sustainable way.
This procurement complies with the Sustainability Initiative for the City to capitalize use of green infrastructure and cost savings.
Through authority granted in Local Government Code 271, and City of San Marcos City Council, the City is making this procurement through a cooperative agreement with US Communities (Omnia Partners).
