Explanation

1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction contract with Danbert Electrical Corp. for the Valleyview Street Lighting Improvements Project in an amount up to $216,033.08, and to encumber funds with the Department of Public Service for prevailing wage services in the amount of $2,000.00, for Division of Power Capital Improvements Project No. 670782-100000.

The Valleyview Street Lighting Improvements project will install (98) overhead LED cobrahead luminaires on both new and existing wood poles in the Valleyview Heights area of Columbus.

Community Planning Areas: 15 - Hilltop; includes Valleyview Drive, the Westmoor Drive area, as well as residential streets south of Valleyview Drive bordered by Hague Ave. on the east and Wilson Rd. on the west.

The addition of street lighting within the Valleyview area could provide both a sense of security and additional visibility on the roadways. This may also deter criminal activity, which would lessen the financial impact on city resources such as the Police and Fire departments. LED lighting technology will also provide energy and maintenance savings.
