Washington, DC launches Smart Lighting Project

 

The District of Columbia’s Office of Public-Private Partnerships (OP3) is seeking to upgrade its extensive street lighting network which is comprised of a variety of different fixtures and pole types located throughout the District.

Specifically, the District is focused on converting its street light network to LED technology with remote monitoring and control capabilities. Additionally, the District seeks to install on its street lighting network Smart City Technology, including wireless access points that will serve as a flexible and scalable platform for future uses and applications.

OP3, in conjunction with the District of Columbia Department of Transportation (DDOT) and the Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO), is inviting interested parties to respond to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to partner with the District pursuant to a performance-based contract that could include:

  • Designing, constructing, installing, and financing improvements to the existing street light system in the District, including converting the street light network to LED technology with remote monitoring and control capabilities, and installation of SCT; and
  • Operating and maintaining the existing and improved lighting systems, while the District retains responsibility for operating and maintaining SCT.

This opportunity to partner with the District in upgrading the street light network will include all project components –design, capital construction, installation, financing, operations and maintenance – in a single contract.  

 Responses to the RFQ are due August 7, 2017. Following the District’s review and evaluation of SOQs, the District will prequalify a number of teams, who will be the only Shortlisted Proposers invited to participate in a subsequent Request for Proposal (RFP) process.
