Agreements to Install Post Top LED Streetlights <br />December 2, 2014 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />(OBF), which provides zero - percent - interest financing for approved energy- reduction projects, will <br />be used to cover the project costs. The funds are repaid using energy bill savings over a short <br />payback period. This financing mechanism has been used successfully on all of the previous LED <br />streetlight projects. <br />A Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued seeking qualified contractors and vendors for four <br />types of LED fixtures under a "provide and install' and "provide only' options. Firms were permitted <br />to propose on either or both of the options. <br />On September 18, 2014, the RFP was posted on the City's website and produced the following <br />results: <br />7 Proposals received <br />0 Proposals received from Santa Ana businesses* <br />* LED streetlights are a specialized industry. There are no qualified firths in Santa Ana producing or installing LED streetlights. <br />Six proposals met the eligibility criteria for OBF, with one of the seven proposals deemed <br />nonresponsive. The proposal evaluations were based on three factors: (1) the capacity of <br />proposed fixtures to perform as specified; (2) the proposer's experience, ability to perform, and <br />past performance on similar projects; and (3) the proposal base price. Upon review of the <br />proposals, staff determined that the best value for the City was to select the "provide only" option <br />for the LED streetlights (with installation by City staff) and the 'provide and install' option for the <br />SARTC parking structure.
