25-1931 : Nowakowski - Request for Results of RFP No. 2024-2C Professional Consulting Services, Representative

This resolution from Council Member Nowakowski requests the full results of RFP No. 2024-2C for professional consulting services related to the municipal street lighting system acquisition and LED conversion. The RFP was issued on May 24, 2024, with proposals due on June 7, 2024. The resolution highlights the project's importance for modernizing the streetlight network, reducing energy costs, lowering carbon emissions, and improving neighborhood safety. It notes the lack of a public update, which hinders the Common Council's oversight. The resolution specifically asks the Mayor's Office of Strategic Planning to provide respondent lists, evaluation metrics, and committee recommendations, and requests a status update from the Department of Public Works and the Office of Strategic Planning. The urgency is underscored by a fatal shooting in the Chippewa entertainment district on November 1, 2025, and subsequent community concerns about inadequate lighting and public safety.
