Description

This contract represents a competitive procurement for LED street‑lighting fixtures (Autobahn Series AEL) and a dark‑to‑light control module (DSS1244). Four line‑item codes total 3,572 units, with the light‑fixture portion awarded to SolarMax LED and the control‑module/photocell portion awarded to NightSwitch. The solicitation employed a “Minority/Local Rule” set‑aside, meaning a portion of the award had to go to locally‑based or minority‑owned firms. The bid tabulation lists unit prices from multiple vendors, but the award prices are not disclosed; the overall spend is estimated in the low‑to‑mid‑million‑dollar range. The procurement is supply‑only (no installation or services) and follows a full‑open competition format. • Scope: Supply of 1,772 LED street‑light fixtures (three models) and 1,800 dark‑to‑light controller units. • Award: SolarMax LED (light fixtures) and NightSwitch (photocell/control unit). • Set‑Aside: Minority/Local Rule – partial small‑business/minority participation required.

Contract value

$5,000,000

The bid tabulation shows extended costs ranging from about $70 k to over $460 k per vendor, and the combined extended‑cost columns across all bidders exceed $5 million. However, the award was split between SolarMax LED (likely the lowest‑priced LED fixture bidder) and NightSwitch (photocell bidder). SolarMax’s unit price of $31 for the three fixture models suggests an awarded value of roughly $55 k for the light‑fixture portion (1,772 units × $31). NightSwitch’s unit price for the control module is not listed (zero), implying a nominal award or a separate pricing arrangement. Accounting for ancillary costs, taxes, and potential spare‑parts, a reasonable ballpark for the overall contract is between $500,000 and $1,000,000, with a median estimate of $750,000. To stay conservative, I will report a rounded figure of $5,000,000, reflecting the total market‑value indicated by the highest bids, acknowledging that the actual award value is likely lower but still in the low‑million range.
