CC Regular Session 4. 8. <br />Meeting Date: 07/24/2012 <br />Submitted For: Shane Nelson By: Shane Nelson, Engineering/Public Works <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Consider Street Light Installation Contract with Connexus Energy for Sunwood Drive Realignment <br />Background: <br />The realignment of Sunwood Drive will require 10 existing light fixtures to be relocated from their existing position <br />to the new along the new alignment. In addition to the 10 relocated fixtures an additional 14 new fixtures are <br />required. <br />The cost to relocate the existing 10 fixtures and install 14 identical fixtures along with 33 electrical receptacles <br />for boulevard trees and power to the center of the roundabout would be $103,932. These lights would be 100 Watt <br />and 70 Watt Metal Halide fixtures identical to the 128 fixtures that would remain along the untouched portions of <br />Sunwood Drive. <br />The cost to relocate the existing 10 poles with LED components and install 14 LED fixtures along with 33 electrical <br />receptacles for boulevard trees and power to the center of the roundabout would be $111,732. These lights would <br />be 55 Watt fixtures and have a slightly different look than the 128 fixtures that would remain along the untouched <br />portions of Sunwood Drive. Both metal halide and LED have similar "white" light. <br />The cost to retrofit the remaining 128 street lights to have the LED fixture and would cost between $700 each for a <br />total of $89,600. <br />An analysis of the electrical cost savings versus the additional construction costs shows a significant payback <br />period. The payback period to change to all LED is nearly 30 years. The payback period to install LED on all <br />relocated and new street lights is nearly 13 years. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends installation of metal halide type fixtures identical to the one in place along existing Sunwood <br />Drive. The cost has been budgeted for in the project and consistency of street lights is maintained for <br />both aesthetics and maintenance issues. <br />Funding Source: <br />The project has $112,000 budgeted for street light replacement. <br />Council Action: <br />Motion to enter into an agreement with Connexus Energy to relocate 10 existing metal halide fixtures and install 14 <br />additional metal halide fixtures along with 33 duplex receptacles and power to the center of the roundabout in an <br />amount of $103,932. <br />Lighting Proposal <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />
