Email: rthiel@co.hawaii.hi.us Metric Activity: Government, School, Institutional Procurement If Other: Project Summary: (limit summary to space provided) The County of Hawaii Department of Public Works Traffic Division will improve the County's energy efficiency by replacing at least four hundred (400) out of a total inventory of approximately seven thousand (7,000) low pressure sodium chloride bulbs with energy-efficient light emitting diode (LED) lamps. The Department recently replaced traffic signal lights with LED bulbs and will complement that work and ensure equitable distribution of the EECBG funding by installing LED streetlights at locations near intersections around the island. Using EECBG funding will- jump start the Department's current unfunded Capital Improvement Project request to replace all of the County's street lights with LED fixtures. Use of EECBG Funds: The EECBG Grant will be used to purchase and install state-of-the-art dark sky compliant fixtures. .Approximately $400,000 will be used to purchase fixtures, and $100,000 will be used for installation. Cost per fixture is estimated at $1,000 including shipping; only at the time of purchase will Traffic Division be able to provide the actual cost. Two written estimates and one estimate based on catalog pricing reflect prices varying from $800/fixture to $1,400/fixture and shipping as high as $40,000. Through its procurement process the County will select the lowest bid. More than 400 fixtures will be purchased if the winning bid allows. Traffic Division has a standing price-term contract with a Contractor at Bacon-Davis wages who will install the new fixtures. The County of Hawaii is leveraging a portion of the salary and benefits package of the Department of Research and Development Specialist for one year; the R&D Specialist will collect required data from Traffic Division, and assume grant-management and reporting responsibilities in addition to overall EECBG Program oversight. Time line: Upon receipt of EECBG funds, Public Works Traffic Division will submit a code amendment to the County Council to allow substitution of LED lights. Within three months after code amendment, Traffic Division will begin LED purchasing. Upon delivery, installation will take approximately one year. Energy Saved The County has a negotiated rate with the utility company at 77.8 KWH per month per 180 watt street light at signalized intersections. Traffic Division estimates that the new fixtures will realize a minimum 50% energy savings over the existing low pressure sodium chloride bulbs. The project will also provide the County savings in maintenance and transportation costs. The Traffic Division must allocate 3- to 5-days for staff to replace a street light depending on the location. With the switch to LED fixtures which dim over time, there will be no need for "emergency" calls; instead a much more efficient regular maintenance program will be implemented. B you are proposing more than one activity, save this rile as many times as needed with successive page numbers. For example: "OH-CITY-Columbus- Project Activity page 1.pdf," "OH-CITY-Columbus-Project Activity page 2.pdf,"and continue as needed.
