City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: April 14, 2025
To: City Council
Through: Kat Sorensen, City Manager
From: Taylor Crocker, Electric Operations Supervisor
Subject: Resolution 2025-033: Authorizing the City Manager to Purchase Streetlight
Poles and Hardware from General Pacific for Replacement and Installation
Throughout the City in the Amount of $81,285.25 and Appropriating Funds
Background and justification:
The City of Seward Electric Department maintains and operates streetlighting throughout the
community to ensure public safety and visibility. Over time, several streetlight poles along major
roadways have sustained damage or deterioration, resulting in structural failure or reduced lighting
coverage. Replacing these poles is necessary to maintain reliable illumination and improve
pedestrian and traffic safety on key streets.
Additionally, new residential developments such as the Hilltop Subdivision are expanding the
City's infrastructure footprint. These areas currently lack sufficient streetlighting, which is
essential for safety, navigation, and overall quality of life for new residents.
To address both the replacement of broken poles in existing neighborhoods and the installation of
new lighting infrastructure in growing subdivisions, the Electric Department solicited a quote from
General Pacific, Inc. The quote includes:
• Five (5) triangular base streetlight poles with 6-foot arms, which are compatible with
existing infrastructure and will replace broken poles on main streets
• One (1) triangular base hardware kit, if needed for proper installation
• Twenty (20) direct bury (embedded) streetlight poles with 6-foot arms for installation in
new subdivisions such as Hilltop
• An estimated freight charge for shipping the materials to Seward
The total quoted amount is $81,285.25, which includes materials and estimated shipping. Lead
time for delivery is estimated at 12-17 weeks. The Electric Department recommends proceeding
with this purchase to maintain reliable service, address immediate infrastructure needs, and
prepare for continued community development.
Funding for this purchase is available within the Electric Department's approved capital budget.
