Specifications
Main Facility Energy Saving
Lighting Fixture Upgrade
General:
The purpose for the following specifications is to describe the lighting upgrades of
all old obsolete and inefficient lighting fixtures throughout the facility.
Scope of Work:
All fixtures throughout the facility will be replaced or retro-fitted with new T-8
fixtures or LED fixtures as appropriate for the specified location. This particular
project consists of lighting fixtures in the Bus Storage garage, The Maintenance
garage, the Office area and the Exterior lighting on the building as well as parking
lot areas within the property. The project should keep budgetary constraints in
mind while also maximizing energy efficiency to the highest possible standards.
Completion Schedule:
We will be phasing this project into two separate phases, Phase I is to be
completed by January 1st, Phase II is to be completed by February 15th
(completion dates are subject to change). Contractor will be given a “notice to
proceed” with Phase II when funding has become available. Notice to proceed
may be given while Phase I is still underway.
Product specifics:
Wherever brand, manufacturer or product names are used, they are included
only for the purpose of establishing a description of minimum quality. This
inclusion is not to be construed as advocating or prescribing the use of any
particular brand, manufacturer or product. Whenever such names appear
approved equals will be accepted when the proper steps are followed as outlined
