In this case, the equipment being ordered is specified by Engineering Standard 7915. Submittal, review and approval of this equipment is not required by the City prior to purchase since it is provided in great detail in Engineering Standard 7915. Any delays identified in your email below are not the responsibility of the City. The submittal is approved but before you order your light fixture please confirm that your bolt pattern will work with field work done to date. The bolt pattern in your submittal is a hard 12" meanwhile Engineering Standard 7915 requires 12" to 15" and your bolts have already been installed. Thank you, Manny Guzman, P.E.

Under protest, I have already paid for the fixture. As I understand it, something direct in writing is required from the City itself, for reasons unknown to me except that this is a municipal public works function. Is there a history of problems with the manufacturing of these lights for the City of San Luis Obispo? Best regards and keep safe!

Eddie indicates that a sign‐off on the attachment is required. I have (under protest) already paid for the decorative light fixture and the 12 week lead time to manufacture it cannot commence until someone with authority at the City complies with the manufacturers request for a "sign off" from the City. Please coordinate with Eddie and provide him with the written approval as required by Lumec. Best regards and keep safe! Bill Walter ‐‐‐‐‐Original Message‐‐‐‐‐ From: William S.

Apparently, we cannot purchase this item without the City's approval. Best regards and keep safe!
