Mr. Loney said tYiat Shakopee Public Utilities Commission approved a street lighting policy in 1998 which includes light spacing and light standards for different districts in Shakopee's residential, commercial and industrial areas. Mr. Loney said one issue has been the fiberglass residential street light poles which do not last long due to weathering. Mr. Loney said that staff has done a cost analysis and determined that an anodized aluminum street pole would be a better alternative. Mr. Loney said that staff has done more investigation on LED street lighting for the CR 101 project working with Ken Tallion of S.E.H., Inc., and would like to update City Council on possible changes to make the system more efficient and at a lower cost. Mr. Tallion suggested to Council two styles of LED lighting. He also suggested when going out for bids to use the LED lighting in the bid and not make it an alternate in the bidding process. This will make the bid more competitive. He also discussed several system features to LED lighting. After Council discussed the options they all agreed to put the LED lighting in the bid and not as an alternate.
