    Description

    This request for proposal (RFP) is intended to solicit proposals from Electrical Companies capable of providing street lighting maintenance services and to address any unanticipated electrical needs during the contract period. The City of Syracuse owns and maintains the street lights in the City. The system consists of approximately 17,500 lights on residential and arterial streets, interstates, parking lots, parks, and plazas. Lights are controlled by wireless network controllers.

    The City’s objective is to obtain the services of an Electrical Contractor with sufficient qualified licensed master electricians and linemen who will provide the necessary expertise to address outages, damage, and additions to the Street Lighting Network.

    Background

    The city currently owns over 17,000 streetlights. These lights are located on National Grid owned wood poles, city owned wood, aluminum and decorative poles. Not only are the fixtures an asset, but all associated infrastructure for lighting is also owned by the city. With an aging infrastructure multiple issues arise that need to be addressed.
