LED Lighting Retrofit for Athletic Fields and Outdoor Courts

The City is seeking qualified vendors to provide turnkey services to retrofit existing athletic field and court lighting systems with high-efficiency LED technology at multiple city-owned parks and recreational facilities. This project aims to modernize field lighting infrastructure, reduce energy consumption, minimize light pollution, and implement advanced wireless control systems compatible with Musco Control Link.

The scope includes the assessment of existing electrical infrastructure, the design and installation of LED luminaires, the integration of secure wireless control and monitoring capabilities, and the provision of long-term warranty and performance guarantees. The retrofit must meet or exceed the latest IES RP-6-20 standards for sports lighting and ensure uniform light levels with minimal glare and spill.

Vendors are required to propose individualized, site-specific pricing in both lump-sum and lease-to-own formats across 5-, 10-, and 15-year terms. The lighting systems must support multiple lighting levels, both remote and manual operation, robust surge protection, and proactive performance monitoring for at least 15 years.

This initiative will improve safety, usability, and operational efficiency across the City’s athletic facilities while supporting sustainability goals through energy-efficient lighting upgrades.
