directed respondents to submit the best, most creative and durable system to be installed and
operating for $150,000 under RFPO609-050916 posted on the City website on (March 21, 2016).

the most qualified contractor based on the following:
1. Experience ~ they have experience in designing, installing, and maintaining BRIDGE lighting
(only firm with Bridge lighting experience).
2. Presentation — they were well prepared; providing clear answers without an army of
personnel.
