SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
Over the past several months the Town of Erie has worked to finalize a new in-house street lighting program that was previously provided by Xcel Energy. The Town is now in process of establishing full control and ownership of the street lighting program. Since the Town is now responsible for the street light infrastructure, lighting-plan design and installation needs to be incorporated into certain street construction projects.
The Town of Erie Public Works Department has completed the design effort and has reviewed the final design plan set for County Line Road from Erie Parkway to Austin Avenue generated by Sanbell-Rocky Mountain and Baseline Engineering. Prior to the Town’s acquisition of the Xcel street lights, a capital project would have included coordination with Xcel Energy to establish a work order for the anticipated street lighting following the completion of the construction project. However, due to the Town assuming streetlighting responsibilities from Xcel, this work effort will be brought under the purview of Town staff and be performed by the consultant providing the roadway design.
As noted, Sanbell-Rocky Mountain is one of the consultants selected to design the County Line corridor between Austin Avenue and Erie Parkway and has agreed to generate street lighting plans for this section of the corridor. This lighting design effort will entail consolidation of the design files from Baseline Engineering’s roundabout design at Austin Avenue and County Line Road into the Sanbell design, coordination and identification with Xcel Energy for a power source, and finally generation of a plan set for the contractor to install the street lighting.
