We <br />will develop multiple options for street lighting, electrical infrastructure, lighting controls and <br />maintenance agreements to compare those options and evaluate the potential for pay-back of <br />the system through energy and maintenance cost savings. <br />3.8 Deliverable: Final O&M Assessment Document. <br />The Clanton Team will prepare an O&M Assessment Report that includes Staffing, O&M <br />Workload, Equipment, Maintenance Vehicles and Funding Needs. <br />• Up to (4) submittals: 20% Outline, 50% Draft, 90% Draft and 100% Final. <br />4. Smart City Assessment. Months 2-12. <br />(Clanton w/ IronStride support) <br />Streetlighting has become an important component of Smart City infrastructure. There are many <br />technologies that can be integrated into the streetlights, including 5G small cell, security cameras, <br />environmental sensors, digital signage, speakers, and EV charging stations. Coordinating with the city <br />and utility to evaluate plans for distributed renewable energy and microgrid technology will ensure that <br />streetlighting projects incorporate infrastructure needs for other planned systems. Clanton & Associates <br />has developed master plans and guidelines for implementing Smart City technology that is integrated with <br />streetlighting, including the City & County of Denver Small Cell Design Guide, Fitzsimons Innovation Park, <br />and Peak Innovation Park. <br />4.1 Smart City Integration with Street Lighting. <br />(IronStride) Assess Integration with City’s Advanced Water Meter System <br />4.2 Assess Integration with Traffic Signal/ITS Fiber Network. <br />(IronStride) <br />4.3 5G Small Cell. <br />(Clanton) Clanton & Associates will develop standard details for integrating 5G small cell on <br />street lights, foundation and conduit, and options for electrical metering or flat-rate fees for small <br />cell energy use and space rental. <br />4.4 Deliverables: Final Smart City Assessment Document <br />• Final Smart City Assessment Report: 50% Draft, 90% Draft, 100% Final. <br />5. Cost of Service Evaluation. Months 9-18. (Clanton with Municipal Advisor support) <br />Clanton & Associates will provide engineering project cost analysis that will enable the City of Albany to <br />make fiscally responsible decisions for long-term investment in street lighting. This process will include <br />establishing a baseline of existing costs of street lighting energy and maintenance for a comparison of <br />different options. We will develop multiple options for street lighting, electrical infrastructure, lighting controls <br />and maintenance agreements to compare those options and evaluate the potential for pay-back of the <br />system through energy and maintenance cost savings. The Clanton Team has set aside budget to include <br />a licensed Municipal Advisor who is familiar with city funding strategies for street lighting improvements. <br />In collaboration with city staff, we will interview up to three (3) Municipal Advisors to provide this Funding <br />Opportunities Assessment. <br />5.1 Research & Identify Funding Opportunities <br />(Municipal Advisor) A comparison of funding options will include Grants, PPPs, District, Tax <br />Exempt Lease/Purchase, and Lighting/Smart City/Fiber as a Service models. <br />5.2 Develop Cost-Benefit / Pros-Cons for Acquisition & Separation of Service for SCE owned street <br />lighting. <br />(Clanton) Clanton & Associates worked with the City of Golden, CO to design and oversee their <br />separation of service to purchase their streetlights from Xcel Energy. From this experience, we <br />have developed the details and processes for the streetlighting separation of service. Our team <br />will bring this experience and lessons learned to this cost-benefit / pros-cons analysis. <br />5.3 Develop Energy Cost & Savings Analysis & Recommendations. <br />(Clanton) The Energy Cost Analysis will include LED technology trends, optical efficiency and <br />adaptive dimming strategies to reduce energy usage and extend life of LED luminaires.
