bid because of the Widelite fixture's record of durability to vandalism and adverse weather conditions.
The Widelite fixture is the standard fixture utilized on the City's ballfields and maintenance personnel
have the capability to interchange fixture components, thereby reducing parts replacement costs, and
downtime for waiting on material orders Additionally, service time is quicker and more efficient due to
staffs familiarity to the product's service characteristics Therefore, the PACSD recommends
