NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SINGLE SOURCE CONTRACT
The Sanibel Public Library District provides notice of its intent to award a single source contract with a value of $66,445.00 to StreetLeaf Distribution LLC for the removal of 11 existing light poles and the installation of 11 solar-powered street lights.

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The Sanibel Public Library District has completed a due diligence review and intends to procure solar-powered street lighting from StreetLeaf Distribution LLC without conducting a competitive solicitation process for the following reasons:
- Streetleaf’s unique solar and battery-powered system is a hardware, software, and maintenance services solution that allows fast deployment of resilient lighting infrastructure at lower cost than grid-tied alternatives.
- Solar operation eliminates the need for trenching and conduit.
- Streetleafs’s integrated service model reduces both upfront and ongoing maintenance costs, which typically limit the feasibility of deploying traditional streetlights.
- This system best aligns with the Library’s facility goals of resiliency, energy independence, and sustainable community infrastructure.

Any company that believes it can provide this good/service must submit detailed information about its product/service to the Sanibel Public Library District at director@sanlib.org no later than: October 30, 2025 at 3:00PM for consideration.
