Transportation and StreetsFunding Programmed: NoConstruction and PreservationIntelligent Lighting Controls Improvement SDC Eligibility: 0%Project Description: An Intelligent lighting system will monitor street light performance. The light monitoring system will monitorenergy consumption, fixture output, light outages, generate work orders and, most importantly, alarm per set conditions. Thealarm feature would be used as a wire theft prevention with the idea of alerting the Police Department when a series of lights on acircuit suddenly goes dark. This would be a primary method of protecting the public infrastructure and cost of replacing stolenwire.Justification: In the past two years the City has lost approximately $150,000 in the repair and replacement of stolen conductorsfor street light systems. Also, current loss prevention has resulted in extra expense for our own repair of the systems that do getdamaged. Street light outages are currently reported by citizens and by City personnel conducting physical surveys of the existingsystem to search for outages and problems. With the implementation of this system there would be a reduction in labor expensefor monitoring the system, wire loss prevention and reduced time of light outages all improving customer service and satisfaction.Finally, the system has a dimming control feature that will allow for substantial energy savings by allowing the City to DIM lightoutput during non peak hours. The system will also include a data base of the lighting assets allowing much better management ofthe asset.Project Driver:Project Trigger:Project Status:Wire theft and street light managementOpportunity to reduce operational costsDeferred Pending Funding Allotment: this project is scalable and could be reduced in scope to cover onlyareas of high risk of wire theft.Specific Plans/Policies Related to this Project:EXPENDITURE SCHEDULE ($000s)Project Element Total Thru 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Beyond 2016Planning $ -Engineering $ -Land/Right of Way $ -Construction $ -Other $ 500$ 100 $ 100 $ 100 $ 100 $ 100Total $ 500 $ - $ 100 $ 100 $ 100 $ 100 $ 100 $ -OPERATIONAL IMPACT ($000s)Project Element Total Thru 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Beyond 2016Maintenance Costs $ -Personnel Costs $ (56)$ (3) $ (6) $ (8) $ (11) $ (14) $ (14)Total $ (56) $ - $ (3) $ (6) $ (8) $ (11) $ (14) $ (14)FUNDING SOURCE ($000s)Source Fund # Total Thru 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Beyond 2016Street Fund 434 $ -SDCs.
