Agreements with Powerlux Corporation and SCE <br />to Provide and Fund Post Top LED Streetlights <br />September 3, 2013 <br />Page 2 <br />has been used successfully on previous projects with projected paybacks of five years. A five -year <br />payback period is also projected for this new streetlight project. <br />On March 5, 2013, a Request for Proposals was posted on the City's website: <br />6 Proposals received <br />0 Proposals received from Santa Ana vendors' <br />LED streetlights are a specialized industry. There are no qualified firms in Santa <br />Ana producing or installing LED streetlights. <br />One of the six proposals received was deemed nonresponsive. Five proposals met the eligibility <br />criteria for OBF. Two lamp fixtures from each of the five responsive firms were installed and tested <br />by City staff. The proposal evaluations were based on three factors: the ability of proposed <br />fixtures to perform as specified; the proposer's experience, ability to perform, and past <br />performance on similar projects; and the proposal base price. The final ranking is as follows: <br />Rank <br />Proposer <br />Score <br />1 <br />Powerlux <br />8.5 <br />2 <br />Siemans <br />EPowerlux <br />W$230,72O <br />4.3 <br />3 <br />California Professional Engineering <br />.6 <br />4 <br />Lighting Technology Services <br />.2 <br />5 <br />Pacific Winds Building I <br />King 1 <br />$253,2481 <br />53.3 <br />Based on the project cost of $124,598, SCE will provide $19,589 in energy efficiency incentives <br />and $105,009 will be financed through the OBF Program. The financing and incentives have been <br />rounded to $125,000 which matches the incentive maximum. The Installation of these LED <br />streetlights will reduce the City's annual energy costs by approximately $24,725. <br />The "Maria" fixtures proposed by Powerlux Corporation — the top -rated firm — produced an <br />average energy savings of 69 percent compared to existing high - pressure sodium lamps. The <br />Powerlux fixtures also provide more visible light than conventional streetlights and are expected to <br />have a useful life of over 15 years. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />Installation of the LED streetlights will reduce the city's carbon footprint by approximately 125 <br />metric tons of CO2. This reduction is the equivalent of removing 26.1 passenger vehicles from the <br />road. <br />20E -2 <br />
