WHEREAS, based on a formal consultant selection process, Dekra-Lite Industries Inc., a
specialty lighting company based in Santa Ana, was selected to implement the Downtown

implementing similar tree lighting programs throughout the State, their intimate knowledge of
the downtown core, and their ability to complete previous work assignments in a timely manner;

WHEREAS, the agreement with Dekra-Lite authorizes the City to continue the work
associated with implementing the Downtown Tree Lighting Ambient Program; and
