Chicago Smart Lighting Project
Purpose
The Project is intended to improve the quality and reliability of Chicago’s outdoor lighting and thereby enhance public safety and quality of life for Chicago’s residents and visitors.
RFP Summary
The Project is designed to be a modernization of the City’s and Parks’ outdoor lighting system, made possible by leveraging future energy cost savings resulting from a large scale conversion of the City’s existing lighting system to LED technology. In addition to the installation of LED lights, the Project includes targeted lighting infrastructure stabilization repairs and the installation of a networked lighting management system.
