Report
Summary
Power Tech provides all required material, equipment, transportation and services necessary for the complete installation, operation and maintenance of approximately 93,000 streetlights and 3,600 decorative and specialty light fixtures on an as-needed basis within the public rights-of-way. The increase in streetlight infrastructure maintenance expenditures, such as back-end electrical repairs, is mainly attributed to the Department working more proactively to identify streetlight outages. The streetlight infrastructure maintenance is not for repairs to LED streetlight fixtures, which are currently under warranty. The City's non-decorative streetlight fixtures were all recently converted to LED fixtures which have a 10-year manufacturers warranty, so any LED light fixture outages or issues are repaired under the warranty. Following the completion of the LED fixture conversion project, Street Transportation and Power Tech have needed to address streetlight infrastructure maintenance issues such as wiring, fuses, and power circuits.
