About this file

This is a Quote Award Recommendation document issued by the City of Madison Finance Department, Purchasing Services, on behalf of the Traffic Engineering Department for RFQ 5516-0-2026-BG. The City solicited quotations for twelve 20-foot galvanized steel poles designed for street lighting applications featuring round tapered shafts with welded bases, handholes, and bracket arms accommodating two-inch slip fitters for luminaires. The poles must withstand sustained wind velocities of 90 miles per hour and gust velocities of 117 miles per hour. The RFQ was posted on February 24, 2026, with quotations due electronically by March 10, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST, providing a fourteen-day response window. Delivery is required to 1120 Sayle Street, Madison, Wisconsin 53715, with pricing to include shipping charges. This is a one-time purchase with no renewal options, and the contract term extends only through the initial award.

The City received six bids in response to the RFQ and recommends awarding the contract to Cisco Distributing LLC with an initial term award amount of $18,672.00. The award is based on the responsive and responsible bidder whose bid is most advantageous considering factors including cost, quality, warranty, delivery capability, past performance, and service reputation. Current year commitment of $18,672.00 is available in GL Account 10767-45-200 with no next-year budget commitment required. The City offers local vendor preference to suppliers registered as of the bid due date, though the local preference policy did not change the outcome of this procurement. No price adjustment or escalation clauses are included in the contract terms. The contract includes no grant funding requirements or contingencies on additional budget approval.
