ACCEPT PROPOSALS FROM LIGHTEN UP, LLC FOR INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR
LIGHTING RETROFITS AT CITY HALL AND THE GALAXIE LIQUOR STORE
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to accept proposals from Lighten Up,
LLC for interior and exterior lighting retrofits at City Hall and the Galaxie Liquor Store.
Overview
These are part of an ongoing program to retrofit fluorescent interior lights, metal halide parking
lot fixtures, and high-pressure sodium fixtures with more energy efficient light emitting diodes
(LED). The City Hall project will replace all exterior light fixtures with new LED fixtures. The
Galaxie Liquor store project will replace both interior lights and exterior fixtures with new LED
lights and fixtures.
The focus in replacing existing lights and fixtures with LEDs is to reduce energy consumption and
operating expenses. An added benefit is an increase in light output by the LEDs. The combined
annual energy savings from both projects is $8,211.13. One-time rebates from Xcel Energy and
Dakota Electric Association total $6,335.43.
Two proposals were received for the lighting replacements. Lighten Up, LLC provided the best
price to the City for both projects at $28,248.06 for City Hall and $21,547.75 for Galaxie Liquor.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Do the lights need to be replaced? The lights are being replaced to reduce operating costs and
reduce energy consumption.
