process will include establishing a baseline of existing costs of street lighting energy and maintenance for a comparison of different lighting and electrical infrastructure options. We will develop multiple options for street lighting, electrical infrastructure, lighting controls and maintenance agreements to compare those options and evaluate the potential for pay -back of the system through energy and maintenance cost savings. 3.8 Deliverable: Final O&M Assessment Document. The Clanton Team will prepare an O&M Assessment Report that includes Staffing, O&M Workload, Equipment, Maintenance Vehicles and Funding Needs. • Up to (4) submittals: 20% Outline, 50% Draft, 90% Draft and 100% Final. 4. Smart City Assessment. Months 2-12. (Clanton w/ IronStride support) Streetlighting has become an important component of Smart City infrastructure. There are many technologies that can be integrated into the streetlights, including 5G small cell, security cameras, environmental sensors, digital signage, speakers, and EV charging stations. Coordinating with the city and utility to evaluate plans for distributed renewable energy and microgrid technology will ensure that streetlighting projects incorporate infrastructure needs for other planned systems. Clanton & Associates has developed master plans and guidelines for implementing Smart City technology that is integrated with streetlighting, including the City & County of Denver Small Cell Design Guide, Fitzsimons Innovation Park, and Peak Innovation Park. 4.1 Smart City Integration with Street Lighting. (IronStride) Assess Integration with City's Advanced Water Meter System 4.2 Assess Integration with Traffic Signal/ITS Fiber Network. (IronStride) 4.4 Deliverables: Final Smart City Assessment Document • Final Smart City Assessment Report: 50% Draft, 90% Draft, 100% Final. 5. Cost of Service Evaluation. Months 9-18. (Clanton with Municipal Advisor support) Clanton & Associates will provide engineering project cost analysis that will enable the City of Albany to make fiscally responsible decisions for long-term investment in street lighting. This process will include establishing a baseline of existing costs of street lighting energy and maintenance for a comparison of different options. We will develop multiple options for street lighting, electrical infrastructure, lighting controls and maintenance agreements to compare those options and evaluate the potential for pay -back of the system through energy and maintenance cost savings. The Clanton Team has set aside budget to include a licensed Municipal Advisor who is familiar with city funding strategies for street lighting improvements.
