SUBJECT: APPROVE PASSTHROUGH PURCHASE OF DECORATIVE LIGHTING FIXTURES
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Community Redevelopment Agency approve purchase of 17 decorative lighting fixtures
from Delta Lighting Systems, Inc., Corona, CA in the amount of$51,320 including tax and delivery,
total cost to be reimbursed by program participants.
SUMMARY:
The Community Redevelopment Agency has received commitments from the Agua Caliente Band of
Cahuilla Indians to pay for 11 decorative lighting fixtures and Plaza Investments to pay for 6 lighting
fixtures. The fixtures will be locked in the East Tahquitz Canyon Way lighting Project. In order to
assure conformity of design the RDA has historically purchased decorative lighting fixtures on behalf
of program participants who have committed to reimbursement for same.
BACKGROUND:
The Tahquitz Canyon Way Lighting System, City Project 00-36 was previously approved by the
Community Redevelopment Agency. The purpose of this action is to authorize purchase of 17
decorative light fixtures from Delta Lighting Systems. Inc. Delta Lighting has approved all of the
decorative lighting fixtures in the downtown area and has never increased its prices since being
awarded in original bid. Other manufacturers could provide the lighting fixtures but have not
responded to invitations forbid. The stated reason is that it would be too expensive to retool for the
limited number of fixtures involved. Staff recommends purchase of the fixtures from Delta Lighting
Systems, Inc.
Funds are available in the East Tahquitz Canyon Light Fixture account 812-8192-65130. The Total
