SHAKOPEE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION By: Its: President By: ;... Its: Utilities Manager STATE OF MINNESOTA) ) SS. COUNTY OF SCOTT ) The foregoing instrument was acknowledged before me this day of 20 , by and , the President and Utilities Manager, respectively, of the Shakopee Public Utilities Commission, on behalf of Shakopee Public Utilities Commission. Notary Public Drafted 4 28 2011 Exhibit "A" GENERAL LIGHTING SPECIFICATIONS SHAKOPEE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION The following specifications apply to any street lighting system having the SPUC g s p ppY Y g g s Y g ,.. involvement to any degree whatsoever. These specifications are general, specific approval for each project must be secured on a case by case basis. SPUC reserves the right to modify these specifications from time to time. SPUC will not provide maintenance to any lighting luminaires mounted less than 14 feet or more than 40 feet above the ground. Experience has shown low - mounted units to be susceptible to vandalism. EQUIPMENT LOCATION Luminaires and other equipment must be accessible by a paved surface sufficiently strong to support maintenance trucks. Approval for each system must be secured from the SPUC on an individual case by case basis. Final approval must be in written form. LUMINAIRE APPROVAL All projects that involve luminaire installed or replaced with state funds must meet the 2008 Minnesota Statute 16B.328 Outdoor Lighting Fixture model Ordinance. All luminaires must use a standard street lighting -type lamp. 100 -watt or 150 -watt high - pressure sodium lamp must have an arc tube voltage of 55 volts. Standard ballast operating voltages are 120 or 240 volts. In certain areas, 277 volts might be available. If the luminaries are to have individual photoelectric controls, they must be equipped with an EEI/NEMA -type photoelectric socket mounted externally and an EEI /NEMA photoelectric control. (See Photoelectric Controls) The luminaires must be easily opened for cleaning and relamping by the use of snap latches or a maximum of four captive screws. The luminaire must be adequately sealed and gasketed to prevent excessive dirt and insects from entering the unit. The luminaries generally shall consist of a metal housing with a portion of the bottom side containing a glass or plastic lens (glassware). Aesthetic -type luminaires that consist basically of a lamp socket with a plastic or glass enclosure often are nearly impossible to clean because of their irregular shape and are acceptable only for metered "energy only" service. Any portion of the luminaries that must be unlatched or opened for maintenance must be hinged and have a retaining chain. This is an important consideration because they often will need maintenance in below- freezing temperatures by gloved hand. PHOTOELECTRIC CONTROLS The photoelectric cell and socket must be the EEI/NEMA normally closed type with 120 -, 240 -, or 277 -volt control voltage. Replacement cells are dual -rated 105 /285 -volt, normally closed type. There must be sufficient room to mount the photoelectric cell in the socket. Some luminaires mount the socket inside the unit just below a plastic dome, where a special, small cell is required. This unit would not be acceptable. In some units, this plastic dome can be removed and replaced by the standard EEI/NEMA socket to allow external mounting of the photoelectric cell. The City of Shakopee would be responsible for this conversion work. Photoelectric control "turn on" level shall be set for 2.0 foot - candles minimum to 3.0 foot- candles maximum for multi - voltage cells on 120 -volt operation. Single- voltage cells shall have a "turn on" level of 1.0 to 1.5 foot - candles and a "turn-off' Ievel of 2.5 to 3.8 foot - candles. BALLASTS Ballasts, capacitors and starter boards shall be located inside the luminaries in a manner to permit ease of removal for maintenance. Access to the ballast compartment must be through a door or plate with a simple, yet secure, latching method. GLASSWARE All luminaries' glassware (refractors) must be easily removable in the field for cleaning and replacement. Glassware shall be held in place by latches or captive screws. Metal clamp bands or neoprene -type retainers requiring workbench reassembly will not be approved. Luminaries to be mounted at heights of 25 feet or more may use refractors made of glass or plastic. Luminaries to be mounted at lower heights may use glass or acrylic plastic refractors if the refractors have a rounded surface and are of one piece. Rounded surfaces are more resistant to vandalism. At mounting heights below 25 feet, flat -panel type refractors must be made of high- impact strength polycarbonate plastic. Most polycarbonate plastic refractors are manufactured under the trade name of Lexan. Individual flat -panel refractors must be mounted securely in the luminaries to resist being dislodged by acts of vandalism.

Attached is an agreement from Shakopee Public Utilities Commission (SPUC) for the C.R. 101 Special Lighting District (SLD) for Council approval. The City of Shakopee working with Scott County has designed and will be installing light emitting diodes (LED's) lights along C.R. 101 in 2011. Since these lights are non- standard lights, a SLD must be approved by SPUC and the City. In order to approve the SLD for C.R. 101 lights, an agreement has been prepared by SPUC's staff and has been reviewed by City staff. The agreement outlines the basic arrangement between SPUC and the City on street lighting, maintenance provisions and general agreement requirements. This agreement has an Exhibit "A" and `B" which are the general lighting specifications and specific requirements for the CR 101 SLD. Staff would recommend approval of this agreement to memoralize the arrangement of these lights. In Exhibit `B ", the replacement LED modules will be a SPUC cost now due to the energy and maintenance cost savings of LED lights. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Authorize the appropriate City officials to execute the C.R. 101 Street Special Lighting District Agreement. 2. Do not approve this agreement. 3. Table for additional information. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Alternative No. 1. ACTION REQUESTED: Authorize the appropriate City officials to execute the C.R. 101 Special Lighting District Agreement. ENGR/2011- PROJECTS /C.R 101/WORD /SLD- GREEMENT Bruce Loney, l' . . Public Works Director SHAKOPEE PUBLIC UTILITIES MEMORANDUM TO: John Crooks, Utilities Manager FROM: Joseph D. Adams, Planning & Engineering Director SUBJECT: CR 101 Special Lighting District Agreement DATE: April 28, 2011 ISSUE BACKGROUND DISCUSSION A CR 101 Special Lighting District Agreement is submitted for Commission consideration and approval. The Commission and the City of Shakopee have adopted a joint Street Lighting Policy to define the street lighting standards within the City. As a matter of practice, the Commission has chosen to donate to the City of Shakopee free energy, re- lamping, ballast replacement and minor wiring maintenance for all street lighting on City streets that complies with the adopted street lighting policy. Standard street lighting fixtures utilize High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps. When non - standard street lights are desired a Special Lighting District may be requested and enacted if approved by the Commission and the City. In a Special Lighting District the standard arrangements for responsibility for the components of the lighting system may be modified as each party sees necessary or desirable. In 2011, Scott County is reconstructing a section of CR 101 from CR 17/Marschall Road to Fillmore Street Included in the project is replacement of all the existing street lighting. The City has selected a new style aluminum pole and advanced lighting technology, i.e. Light Emitting Diode (LED) fixtures as the lighting standard for the corridor. LED fixtures utilize multiple light emitting diodes mounted on a board in place of one single HPS lamp and consume less energy. The street lighting bid alternates were set up to determine the cost difference between (45) standard 250 Watt High Pressure Sodium fixtures and (53) Holophane 125 LED fixtures. The City is asking the Commission to fund the additional $3,100 cost of the LED lighting system, since the electric utility will benefit from decreased purchased power costs (approximately $1,250 per year) due to the higher efficiency of the LED fixtures. I believe that the additional cost is reasonable given the increased energy efficiency and that the Commission could choose to fund the cost out of the Conservation Improvement Fund. Also, I received replacement part pricing for the LED modules from the City's consultant that allay my concerns that the Commission risks incurring substantial replacement part costs during the life of the fixtures. The new lights will have an extended five year warranty. Assuming the LED board assemblies last at least half (12 years) of their projected life (24 years), then the cost incurred replacing them then will be offset by the energy savings plus the avoided cost of HPS lamp replacement every three years. Consequently, I believe the Commission can remove their condition that the City accepts the LED module replacement cost responsibility. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Commission approve the terms of the CR 101 SLD Agreement. REQUESTED ACTION Staff requests the Commission adopt the recommended action.
