At the February 21, 2018 regular meeting of the City Council a grant application for the Small Communities Energy Retrofit program was approved for submittal. The City was awarded $250,000 and the Department will contribute $63,000.00 to replace all the court lighting at Dan Callaway with state of the art LED lighting plus remote lighting controls.

With the retrofit the City will save approximately 80% on Kilowatt usage which results in a similar savings on electric expense.

The project also includes remote lighting controls that will add to the efficiency of the court lighting by being able to control the lights from phone or computer. 

The total cost of the project is $313,500 which includes product, installation, a 10 year warranty and no maintenance requirement within that warranty.

Musco Sports Lighting is a contractor of Source Well (Formally NJPA), a buying consortium. This allows the City to cooperatively purchase the product and services of Musco Sports Lighting without a competitive bid. This is per Procurement Code Ordinance 4010 Section 9-101.

This will be the six facilities upgraded to LED lighting.
