TO: Mayor John Laesch
FROM: Ian Wade, Capital Projects Manager
DATE: January 12, 2026
SUBJECT:
Resolution to adopt unit prices submitted by Utility Dynamics Corporation, Oswego, IL for 2026 Electrical Services.
PURPOSE:
To obtain approval to adopt unit prices submitted by Utility Dynamics Corporation, 23 Commerce Drive, Oswego, IL 60543 for 2026 Electrical Services.
BACKGROUND:
The City recently published an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for annual pricing of services required to support the City's Electrical Division during routine and ongoing maintenance of City infrastructure. The intent of this is to freeze commonly fluctuating unit prices. The previous pricing expired on December 31, 2025 and this invitation will establish unit prices for 2026 (with options to renew in 2027 and 2028) for these services.
The ITB for 2026 Electrical Services was advertised and sent directly to multiple contractors. Three responses were received and as summarized on the attached Bid Tabulation, Utility Dynamics Corporation provided the lowest unit prices.
This bid was subject to Local Preference, but it was not a factor as none of the respondents were local.
DISCUSSION:
Funding for Electrical Services is budgeted in Supplies-Repairs/Maintenance/Street Lighting account 101-4020-418.38-09 and may be supplemented with other accounts to be determined.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
This contract will allow our Electrical Division to respond to issues in a timely manner and return City-owned lighting and electrical infrastructure to a safe and operable condition.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I request the proposed resolution be adopted.
