Report

Summary

This contract will provide streetlight maintenance services for all new and existing poles and fixtures in the Arizona Public Service and Salt River Project service areas throughout the City. The City operates an extensive network of more than 100,000 LED streetlights and 3,500 decorative and specialty fixtures. Each year, approximately 500 work orders are generated for upgrades, repairs, installations and removals due to normal wear, collisions, weather conditions and other factors that often require timely and emergency response. These maintenance services are essential to sustaining public safety, preventing outages and maintaining the overall functionality of the streetlight system while ensuring the use of International Municipal Signal Association (IMSA)-certified technicians and adherence to all applicable City, utility and industry regulations.

This contract will also provide a centralized, online data management portal, which allows City staff to monitor service scheduling, real-time work order status and completed work and maintain compliance with the City's performance standards and invoicing requirements.
