5. DISCUSSION ITEMS
5.1. Main Street Decorative Lighting Project
Special Project Director Bob Brady presented the staff report.
M/S/C (Ruiz/Vandever) made a motion to authorize the City Manager to enter into an
agreement with T&G Global, LLC (dba St. Nick’s Christmas Lighting and Décor)
for $93,188.75 to furnish and install a decorative light system on Main Street
between San Jacinto Avenue and Jordan Avenue and a 10% contingency amount of
$9,319, for change orders or additional work to complete the project, for a total
project cost of $102,508; and find that in accordance with Section 3.08.070(C)(2) of
the City’s Municipal Code, there is no competitive advantage to be gained by
bidding this project since the City of West Hollywood performed a competitive bid
process, which is consistent with the City of San Jacinto standards, and is unlikely
to yield better results for the City. Motion carried 3/0.
Ayes: Vandever, Ruiz, Ayala
Nays: None
Absent: Ledezma, Hawkins
Abstain: None
5.2. Main Street Development Opportunities
Andrew Kotyuk and Steve Rollins from Cawston Legacy Development presented the
PowerPoint presentation regarding three potential development ideas.
The City Council received and filed the Main Street Development Opportunities
presentation.
