  4. Now what do we do? So, what are the lamp & ballast purchasing guidelines without a contract?
  5. What happened to Mandatory Recycling & what do we do now? Agencies are responsible for their own, legal recycling or proper disposal (per ADEQ guidelines).
  6. We are saying good-by to the incandescent lamp & looking for alternatives like compact fluorescent (CFL) and light emitting diode (LED).
  7. As of July 01, 2014 you can use a number of purchasing solutions. You can make small purchases to satisfy your needs under $10,000 annually.Or If you think you may be near that threshold, you can use a quote bid to avoid split purchasing. When using this purchasing method, be sure to get a minimum of 3 good quotes.
  8. Or, you can use any of the statewide Maintenance, Repair & Operation contracts that can be found on the Office of State Procurement website.http://www.dfa.arkansas.gov/offices/procurement/contracts/Pages/default.aspxSee the following examples.

  15. Convenience may also come at a price. The 89 cent lamp you send your staff member to pick up locally will also have an employee's hourly wages and State owned vehicle mobilization costs associated with the purchase. How much does the 89 cent lamp cost after factoring in these associated costs?
  16. LED or CFLWhich is best for your application?
  17. Bargains usually come at a price! Be sure that you are buying a lamp or ballast that is designed for your intended application.CFL lamps may not be the best choice for outside locations, they are slow to start in cold weather. Certain LED lamps are not dimmable. Others may have orientation restrictions ( may not be suitable for use in a lamp facing down position, or may not be useable in shrouded fixtures because of a lack of airflow in the fixture. Check the facts before you buy.
  18. Why buy Green Tip Fluorescent Lamps? Green tip lamps are designed & engineered for lower wattage with higher light output and longer life. Additionally, they are lower in Mercury content & are therefore less hazardous.
  19. Stick with known brands like: GE, Phillips, Sylvania or Westinghouse. These companies put money into research & development & stand behind their products.
