Summary:
A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued on June 27, 2016 to select a qualified firm to provide Amway Center Non-Sports Lighting, and on September 15, 2016 City Council authorized the Chief Procurement Officer to negotiate and execute a contract with Chrome Electric, LLC.
The Fleet and Facilities Division and Procurement and Contracts Division are now requesting approval to amend the contract with Chrome Electric to upgrade the Amway Center existing exterior wall mount fixtures to LED fixtures. In addition, Chrome Electric will replace the existing outdoor propane tank heaters with 20 infrared outdoor space heaters. The estimated amount of the Amendment is $379,907.92. The new fixtures consume significantly less energy than the existing ones. Additionally, the fixtures will need to be replaced less frequently causing a significant decrease in maintenance costs for these hard to reach fixtures.
Due to limited scope and specialty materials needed for this project, good faith efforts are substantiated for the Amendment. The MBE and Blueprint Division will continue to work with Chrome Electric, LLC in efforts to increase the M/WBE participation in this project. |
