SIEMENS <br />free service. We have extensive experience in assisting in the selection of appropriate fixtures, light <br />level studies, and helping our customers promote the financial and environmental benefits of the <br />Initiative. Our objective is to provide both vendor neutral and objective information to the City, enabling <br />Informed decisions at each project phase. <br />Our final manufacturer evaluation results are reviewed with the customer, in many instances with a <br />sample from each, to narrow the options down to two or three top vendors, who are then asked to <br />provide samples for pilot installations, where the customer, Siemens, and members of the community <br />can take part in a review of the lighting technologies proposed, The Siemens product evaluation and <br />scoring methodologies, for example, helped the City of Huntington Beach save $260,000 - <br /><$1,00,000 over the course of 10 years In total ownership costs. <br />Based on the Information to date, Siemens has already started our evaluation process for the City of <br />Santa Ana, to help narrow down the right vendors for the customers' needs. Beginning with the <br />vendors and catalog numbers provided, Siemens first asked each one to produce pricing for the RFP <br />specified luminaires, as well as an alternate to reflect changes in their product lines, Then Siemens did <br />a deep dive into the fixture specifications and DLC QPL data, to evaluate and score each package. <br />There are currently (6) vendors listed. All except (1) have identifiable changes to product performance. <br />Siemens has used these product changes to produce alternate packages for each vendor, By taking <br />into consideration the criteria listed above, the following scores have been calculated; <br />Aculty(S ec'd) <br />Vendor'A <br />Eaton 5 ec'd <br />vendor. -TO <br />Acuity (Improved) <br />Vendor: A -Alt <br />Lootek (S ec'd) <br />Vendor., E <br />Cree (S ec'd) <br />Vendor: B <br />Leotek (Improved) <br />Vendor.,, E -Alt <br />Gree (Improved) <br />Vendor.

C -Alf <br />For decorative style luminaires, Siemens prefers to use new fixtures over retrofit kits when converting <br />from HPS or MH to LED. However, in some instances using an Original Equipment Manufacturer <br />(OEM) retrofit kit that has been designed for the existing fixture does make sense, Typically this is <br />done only in the decorative styles, which usually account for 6% or less of the entire project scope. <br />The Siemens technology evaluation processes are extended throughout all types of technologies that <br />can be installed on a street light or street light pole, including smart city technologies: street light <br />management systems, smart parking, asset management, communications & digital signage, and <br />more. Siemens will continually provide smart city technology insight to the City of Santa Ana, assuring <br />that additional cost savings or even revenue generating opportunities are not overlooked and <br />considered during the course of the project. <br />Page 17 <br />
