Set Public Hearing For_ CONTINUED TO FILE NUMBER Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the attached agreements with: • Republic ITS, Inc. to provide and install 253 LED streetlights for an amount not to exceed $162,000 (Exhibit 1). Southern California Edison to provide no-cost funding through On-Bill Financing for the LED streetlights, subject to nonsubstantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney (Exhibit 2). DISCUSSION The City owns 1,777 street lights that are operated and maintained by the Public Works Agency. Conventional high-pressure sodium lamps are used in a majority of the street lights. In an effort to reduce energy costs, staff has installed 25 energy efficient LED street lights in two pilot programs on arterial streets in the city. The pilots have been successful in producing an average energy savings of 66 percent. As a result of the findings identified in the pilot projects, staff developed a project to replace 253 City-owned street lights on Main Street and Edinger Avenue with energy-efficient LED street lights. Staff investigated funding sources and submitted an application to have this project funded through Southern California Edison's (SCE) new On-Bill Financing program. The On-Bill Financing program issues zero percent financing for approved energy reduction projects. The costs are repaid from energy savings over a period of ten years. 25F-1
