DATE: July 27, 2017
TO: Ben Siegel, City Manager
Steve May,Public Works and Utilities Director
FROM: Tom Toman,Assistant Public Works Director •'
SUBJECT: Contract with Siemens Industry, Inc. for the initial Investment Grade Audit (1GA) and
associated analysis required to carry out the conversion of City street lights from high
pressure sodium(HPS)to LED technology
On July 18, 2017, the City Council voted 4-1 to approve a contract with Siemens Industry, Inc. to begin
the process of converting City street lights from high pressure sodium (HPS) to light emitting diode
technology (LED). The contract (Attachment 1) with Siemens Industry Inc. is to conduct the initial
Investment Grade Audit (1GA) and associated analysis required to carry out the conversion of City street
lights from high pressure sodium to LED technology in a manner that will ensure that the anticipated cost
to the City for the energy efficiency services provided will be less than the anticipated cost savings
resulting from the implementation of the energy efficiency measures. Once this analysis is complete, staff
will return to the City Council for consideration of the agreements required to acquire, install and finance
the new street lighting technology. There would be no up-front cost to the City for the conversion of the
City's HPS street lights to LED technology. The cost of the initial phase of work covered in the proposed
professional services agreement is $33,315.10. If the City Council decided not to approve the final project
implementation and lease purchase financing when the item comes back to the Council in Fall 2017, then
the City would pay Siemens for the work completed on project development.
