LED Street Lights

The City of Dothan solicited bids for the supply of LED street‑light fixtures (100‑Watt‑equivalent, nominal 5,000 lumens) totaling approximately 300 units, with strict specifications for “cobra‑head” style and Type 2 IES pattern compliance. After an open competition, SolarMax (Riverside, CA) was awarded the contract at a unit price of $89, delivering a total contract value of $26,700. The procurement process included a bid opening on June 17, 2025, clarification deadline on June 12, 2025, and final award approval on July 1, 2025. The contract emphasizes product compliance over lower pricing, as a lower‑priced bid (Sonepar/Irby) was rejected for non‑conformance. • Scope: Supply of 300 ± LED street‑light fixtures meeting municipal specifications. • Awarded Vendor: SolarMax, unit price $89, total $26,700, lead time 12‑14 weeks. • Procurement Timeline: Available June 2, 2025 → Clarifications June 12 → Due June 17 → Award July 1, 2025.
