It is important to note that the City of Santa Ana is not the first municipality in SCE's territory to commence the acquisition process. As such, the City can benefit from the fact that SCE is becoming more accustomed to this process, which increases the likelihood that the City of Santa Ana will have a streamlined experience. Further, in Tanko Lighting's experience, most recent acquisitions in California (including the City of Richmond just a few months ago) have not necessitated any outside legal resources and merely relied on internal legal staff to complete the acquisition process. Thus, Tanko Lighting does not anticipate the need for any additional subcontractors. However, should the acquisition process for some reason become more complicated and /or contentious, Tanko Lighting will work with qualified legal partners with experience in municipal street light acquisitions to bring additional resources to the project (at an added cost). Phase 5: Streetlight Conversion Proiect Support Task 9: Conversion Support Tanko Lighting will provide technical and logistical support to City staff during the implementation of the retrofit project, including GPS verification and fixture installation. Specifically, Tanko Lighting's support will include the following elements: Stakeholder Outreach Tanko Lighting believes that proper coordination of information and outreach to stakeholders is an essential part of ensuring a successful street light conversion project. To that end, Tanko Lighting will coordinate with the City to develop a communication plan prior to the commencement of any conversion activities. The strategy will: • Develop appropriate project messaging • Provide a press release outlining the project's elements and benefits • Provide language and Frequency Asked Questions about the project for inclusion in the City's relevant website pages • Utilize the City's existing social media, public relations channels, and electronic media to broadcast the project information. This will ensure speedy message delivery and eliminate need for printed materials, thereby reducing cost and waste • Logistics Management Tanko Lighting will ensure that all logistics are carefully coordinated for the LED conversion phase. Tanko Lighting will ensure proper communication and coordination with installation crews and will coordinate pre - construction meetings and regular progress meetings with City staff and the installation contractor. Additionally, Tanko Lighting will equip installation crews with the similar devices that are used in the initial audit. Installers will utilize these devices to track the specific characteristics of daily installations, including confirmed pre- and post - installation wattage, compliant labeling and badging issues, pole number, and verified voltage prior to installation. Tanko Lighting will also provide installation maps showing street light locations and replacement fixtures to be installed to help direct installation crews and assist City inspectors with accurate project tracking. Tanko Lighting will provide the City with a Weekly Installation Report (see sample report in Appendix C) with the locations and characteristics of the new LED fixtures installed. Task 2: Installation Data Reconciliation Tanko Lighting will utilize the data collected during the installation process and compare it with the audit data to verify that all relevant locations were converted. This process will also identify any punch -list items and Tanko Lighting will continue to coordinate with the installation contractor to ensure that the final data set is accurate and complete. Tanko Lighting will provide the City with a complete commissioning report outlining any errors and actions taken to correct errors. Task 3: Rebate, Rate Change & Incentive Coordination Tanko Lighting will comply with all requirements to ensure replacement LED luminaires receive any available utility rebates, rate changes and any incentives (including greenhouse gas credits). Tanko Lighting will maintain close and ongoing communication with SCE to obtain status updates on submitted rebate applications and Tanko Lighting Statement of Qualifications — City of Santa Ana — RFP #15 -058 Page 21 of 28 25N -17
