As part of the City's Energy Action Plan (EAP), ongoing efforts are underway to reduce energy
consumption through the conversion of roadway lighting to energy-efficient Light Emitting Diode
(LED) technology. LED lights have significantly greater life expectancy and use at least 50%
less energy compared to High Pressure Sodium Vapor (HPSV) and Metal Halide lights.
In October 2017, the replacement city -owned roadway lighting fixtures began and approximately
603 HPSV fixtures were replaced with new LED fixtures. During the replacement of the street
light fixtures, 46 existing fixtures in and adjacent to two residential areas west of Downey
Avenue and south of Stewart and Gray Road and east of Paramount and south of Telegraph
Road (see attached location map) were discovered to be high voltage (4,000 volts) series
lighting circuits which needed to be converted to 240 volt systems in order to be compatible with
the new LED lighting fixtures. LED fixtures can only be powered by 120 to 277 volt sources.

Pursuant to the City Council actions on January 9, 2018, staff proceeded with the
implementation of the Residential Street Lighting Upgrade Project in the two aforementioned
residential areas. Staff solicited quotes from Contractors for the lighting upgrade improvements
and the City received five (5) bids ranging from $81,200 to $170,325. The lowest responsive
and responsible bidder was Elecnor Belco Electric, Incorporated of Chino, California with a bid
of $81,200. Subsequently, the City Manager executed a project contract agreement with
Elecnor Belco Electric in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.

Project work commenced in February 2018 and was completed in May 2018. The lighting
upgrade improvements consisted of the removal of existing HPSV lights and installation of new
City -furnished LED lighting fixtures; abandonment/removal of existing and installation of new
electrical conduits, conductors, and pull boxes; installation of new electrical service cabinets and
coordination with Southern California Edison (SCE) for de -energizing and removal of the
existing high-voltage service and the energizing of the new electrical service cabinets and
painting of street light mast arms.
The project resulted in over 470,000 kilowatts or approximately $60,000 in energy savings
annually. The project is deemed complete and staff recommends that City Council accept the
project as complete.
