Title
Award a purchase order (contract) to Stonelight of Naples, Florida in the amount of $132,600 for the construction and delivery of concrete light bollards designed specifically for use on Beach Walk and other Beach sites including Pier 60 Park and Papaya Street Plaza and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.

Body
SUMMARY:
Beginning in Fiscal Year 2012/13 the City began a phased program to replace and upgrade the light bollards on Beach Walk from a decorative metal fixture to a more stable and vandal proof concrete bollard made and designed by Stonelight. Phase II was completed in December 2013.
In order to continue with this program and complete Phase III consisting of 41 additional fixtures on Beach Walk staff is recommending this bollard as a sole source purchase.
Originally the City searched for and received bids on various replacement bollards and settled on this design and bollard due to its uniqueness and vandal proof qualities.
The purchase order will allow the City to purchase bollards for various beach projects during the year including Beach Walk, Pier 60 Park Renovations, Papaya Street Plaza, as well as some spares needed due to possible scope changes and/or replacements.
This item supports the City's Strategic Vision to provide quality facilities (Beachwalk, Pier 60 Park) for not only the enjoyment by residents but to promote tourism of Clearwater Beach.
