Recommendation
Motion to Approve Resolution No. 191-19 in support of Florida Power and Light (FPL) for the installation of LED Street Lights for the SW 4th St., SW 6th St., SW 7th Ave. & SW 3rd Ct.

Body
Background:
The City of Delray Beach (City) and the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) have a Neighborhood Improvements Project at SW 4th St, SW 6th St, SW 7th Ave and SW 3rd Ct. This project includes improvements to the infrastructure and safety of the neighborhood, including water, sewer, reclaimed water, drainage, sidewalks and street lighting. The street lighting component will enhance public safety and electrical efficiency in the alleyways by replacing the existing cobra-head fixtures with LED fixtures (LED versus the conventional Halogen fixtures).
The street lighting work is designed and installed by Florida Power and Light (FPL). FPL requires that the City pay a not-to-exceed amount of $100,000 prior to commencing any design work. This fee will be applied to the Cost in Aid of Construction (“CIAC”) that the lighting designer will calculate during the engineering review after FPL's design commences. CIAC covers the remaining book value and cost of removing existing lights and poles as called for by the plans, as well as, any non-standard installation costs such as directional boring or transformers that are required.
This authorization is to for new LED lighting fixtures in the alleyways and to replace the existing cobra head halogen fixtures on the roadways for the SW 4th St., SW 6th St., SW 7th Ave. & SW 3rd Ct. Neighborhood Improvements Project.
City Attorney Review:
Approved as to form and legal sufficiency.
Funding Source/Financial Impact:
Funding in the amount not-to-exceed $100,000 is available from Account No. 334-41-340-541.68-86, Capital Outlay-Improvements.
Timing of Request:
The approval of this item is highly time sensitive as the project will be commencing construction in the next several months and it is desired that FPL will coordinate and complete the work in the same timeframe.
