Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
On August 29, 2022, the dynamic LED decorative lighting controls on the northeast tower of the Anthony Wayne Bridge were vandalized. Since that time, only one-half of the dynamic LED lighting has been in operation. According to Purchasing policies and procedures, competitive quotes were sought out to repair what had been vandalized. Miller Cable, the original installer, submitted a quote for a minimum of $16,050 to complete repairs. Other companies were contacted but declined to quote. Contingency in the amount of $8,950 has been included in this ordinance in case additional splicing of fiber optic cable is required, or other unforeseen cabling or hardware is required.
