Anti-Theft Solution for City Owned Streetlights

The City of Commerce City Public Works Department is issuing an RFI for anti-theft solutions for city-owned streetlights, with responses due September 4, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. Mountain Time via BidNet Direct. This is market research only; no award will result from this RFI.

The City seeks comprehensive information on emerging technologies, engineering solutions, materials, and deterrent systems to protect streetlight wiring and associated components from copper theft. Vendors must provide product brochures, technical documents, white papers, deployment history in other municipalities, testimonials, and performance data. The RFI requests detailed specifications on anti-theft technology types, physical security features, electronic monitoring capabilities, real-time communication methods, power requirements, data management and security protocols, installation and maintenance requirements, environmental durability, compatibility with existing streetlight infrastructure, material composition, equipment lists, deployment timelines, warranty and support terms, and optional third-party system integration capabilities.

Respondents should provide indicative pricing for materials, components, installation labor, monitoring devices, and ongoing maintenance needs as general pricing ranges rather than formal quotes. All responses become City property and remain confidential until after an award based on a subsequent solicitation or until the procurement official determines the City will not pursue further solicitation. Respondents may request confidential treatment of proprietary information by clearly identifying and separating such materials with written rationale.

The procurement point of contact is Misti Sanchez, Procurement Analyst, at msanchez@c3gov.com or 303-289-3778.
