RFP Summary

The purpose of the project is to retrofit existing Decorative Pedestrian Post Top Street Lights, Cobra Roadway Lights, Park Walkway Lights, Parking Lot Lights and Sports Lights with approved LED luminaires and City approved GE LightGrid Adaptive Control Nodes and GE LightGrid Gateways. In addition, GE CityIQ Sensor Nodes will be installed on both new and existing luminaires.
