Title
LED Street Lighting Upgrade - IDOT and Cook County Jurisdiction Roads - Proposal Award
History
In 2018, the village converted approximately 2,500 village owned high pressure sodium street lights to more efficient LED technology. This LED street light conversion project was completed through an Energy Performance Contract with Control Technology & Solutions, LLC (CTS Group) of St. Louis, Missouri. This project did not include street lighting along state and county roadways such as LaGrange Road, 159th Street, 179th Street, nor did it include decorative lighting such as in the Old Orland Historic District.
Following completion of the initial street light conversion project, energy savings are guaranteed by CTS to be a minimum of $95,519.00 annually. Additionally, the village has been approved for rebates offered through Commonwealth Edison totaling $270,990.30.
Staff is requesting to reinvest a portion of the Commonwealth Edison rebate money for the conversion of street lighting along state and county roads to increase energy efficiency savings and continue to take advantage of rebate offerings. Proposals for design and permitting were requested from four firms for the conversion of lights along Lagrange Road, 159th Street, and 179th Street (exhibits attached). Harlem Avenue, the only remaining state road with village street lighting, is being upgraded through a separate project.
