Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction contract with Complete General Construction for the Hilltop Smart Lighting Phase One project in an amount up to $2,731,423.96, and to encumber funds with the Department of Public Service for prevailing wage services in an amount up to $2,000.00, for a total expenditure of $2,733,423.96.
This project will implement Smart Lighting in the Phase 1 project area in the Hilltop neighborhood generally bounded by I-670 on the north and east, Wilson Road on the west, and Briggs Road on the south. The project will replace approximately 3,500 existing HPS lights with LED lights that will be connected to a central control system.

The Community Planning Area is 53 - Greater Hilltop.
