Based on a recommendation from the city’s Environmental Advisory Committee, the city of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, is actively pursuing a city-wide retrofit of all existing high pressure sodium (HPS) streetlights. The retrofit to LED technology will also include a streetlight monitoring system. According to a statement by Mississauga’s streetlighting coordinator, Eric Menezes, a city-wide retrofit will take approximately seven years and will result in energy and maintenance savings of about C$50 million.
The city is in the process of pre-qualifying LED streetlight fixtures through a Request for Pre-Qualification (RFPQ) procurement. The procurement seeks to pre-qualify selected manufacturers products based on general criteria.
Only pre-qualified vendors will be permitted to partake in a Request for Tenders. For more details read the New Streetlights article...
