<br /> <br /> Request for Proposals to Design-Build Streetlight Upgrades <br /> June 17, 2013 <br /> Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br /> service connection points to Southern California Edison will be needed with a service <br /> pedestal/cabinet for each streetlight circuit. <br /> <br /> Residents have indicated in past surveys that they prefer to keep the antique style streetlight <br /> poles, due to their historical value. Fortunately, there are new fixtures that are historically <br /> accurate. This RFP will include provisions to provide and demonstrate sample energy efficient <br /> LED lamps to residents of the neighborhood for their comments. <br /> <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br /> <br /> Replacing the existing incandescent lamps with metal halide lamps will result in a savings of <br /> 98,000 Kilo Watt hours (kWh), effectively removing about 69 metric tons of carbon dioxide from <br /> the environment, which is the equivalent to removing 14.4 cars from the roads. The LED option <br /> would result in a savings of 149,000 kWh, which removes 105 metric tons of carbon dioxide <br /> from the environment, and is equivalent to removing 21.9 cars from the roads. <br /> <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> <br /> There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. Upon completion of the project there will <br /> be an annual savings to the General Fund of approximately $12,500 in reduced energy costs if <br /> metal halide fixtures are used, or about $19,000 in savings using the LED option. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Raul Godinez If,-- <br /> . <br /> Executive Director <br /> Public Works Agency <br /> RG/KW <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 19C-2 <br />
