The City of Albany, Georgia, is seeking competitive bids from experienced and licensed contracting firms to undertake a comprehensive, multi-phase Security Light Upgrades project across the municipal footprint. The primary focus of this initiative is an extensive modernization effort requiring the safe extraction of aging, inefficient High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) fixtures and the installation of 2,552 City-provided Light Emitting Diode (LED) replacements, spanning standard 150W units, 250W units, 400W units, and specialized 150/175W HPS Post Top Lanterns. Beyond active equipment replacement, the City requires a high level of operational stewardship to streamline its entire lighting grid. To achieve this, the selected vendor will be responsible for a major decommissioning phase involving the physical removal and legal disposal of 4,819 inactive security lights. Additionally, to safeguard current municipal investments, the contractor must execute a rigorous, data-driven field performance audit and inspection of 4,975 existing active LED fixtures. Because data integrity and accountability are paramount to this administration, vendors must integrate precise asset tracking into their daily workflow, capturing and mapping GPS coordinates for every unit touched. Ultimately, the City is looking for a well-equipped partner that can deliver high-quality, safe workmanship entirely within standard weekday operating hours and bring this critical grid modernization to full completion on or before May 30, 2027. The City of Albany, Georgia, is soliciting competitive, sealed bids from qualified contracting firms to execute comprehensive Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting upgrades. The project requires retrofitting operational fixtures, removing inactive units, and conducting field performance audits across approximately 7,527 active security lights citywide, balancing a comprehensive grid footprint of 12,346 total tracked asset actions.
