The County's overall goals are: To increase clean energy generation on island. To reduce the need for electricity by installing energy efficient lighting at the Sites. To reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in alignment with County goals related to social equity, digital equity, sustainability, climate resilience goals, and advanced food systems. To reduce the need for utility generated electricity. To reduce emissions of other pollutants such as criteria pollutants, nitrogen oxide, and sulfur oxide ("other pollutants" herein) to improve public health and well- being. To reduce facilities life cycle costs and GHG emissions, which includes maintenance, equipment replacement, energy utility, and waste disposal. To eliminate dependency on fossil fuel imports. To improve the quality of performance for all facility users. To address deferred maintenance and equipment replacement projects. These improvements are intended to reduce energy consumption and related costs associated with the outdoor lighting systems with the potential to also improve interior lighting systems at County gyms and pools. The desired result is to consume minimum energy and operating cost savings linked to actual documented cost reductions. Any stipulated and estimated cost savings that may be attributed to this project will be rigorously reviewed. The lifetime projected reductions in operations and maintenance or capital costs will require the clear definition and quantification of historical baseline costs. The savings achieved by the project must be sufficient to cover all project costs including maintenance costs and monitoring fees on an annual basis for the duration of the contract term.
