SUBJECT:
Title
CONSIDERATION TO ACCEPT AS COMPLETE PROJECT NO. 1683: UPGRADE GYM AND OFFICE LIGHTING TO LED (LIGHT EMITTING DIODE) FIXTURES AT STEVENSON AND VETERANS PARK. (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
The Public Works staff upgraded the lighting fixtures at Stevenson and Veterans Park gyms and offices to energy efficient LED lighting. LED stands for light emitting diode. LED lighting products produce light up to 90% more efficiently than incandescent light bulbs.
The incandescent light bulbs in the gyms and offices were inefficient, resulting in high energy consumption and increased maintenance costs. Transitioning from incandescent to LED light bulbs, reduced energy consumption between 50% to 70%.
It is requested that the City Council accept the work as complete and authorize staff to file the Notice of Completion with the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder / County Clerk Office.
