Request for Proposals to Design -Build Streetlight Upgrades <br />June 17, 2013 <br />Page 2 <br />service connection points to Southern California Edison will be needed with a service <br />pedestal /cabinet for each streetlight circuit. <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 />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <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 />FISCAL IMPACT <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 />Raul Godinez It, . <br />Executive Director <br />Public Works Agency <br />RG /KW <br />19C -2 <br />
