I .I .I. Performance Criteria
The manufacturer shall supply lighting equipment and computer generated point by point analysis to meet the following:
1 .I -1.1.
1 .I .I .2.
1 .I .1.3.
1 .I .1.4.
1 .l .I .5.
1 .I .I .6.
I .I .I .7.
The performance criteria requires lighting equipment which will provide initial average light levels, after adjustment for an average lamp tilt factor, of 62.50 footcandles infield, 37.50 footcandles outfield for the baseball field; 25 footcandles for soccer fields #I & #2; and 37.50 footcandles for soccer field #3. A factor of .8 is to be
applied in determining the target light value, including the above adjustment for an average lamp tilt factor. These factors applied will result in a target lighting level of 50
footcandles infield, 30 footcandles outfield for the baseball field; 20 footcandles for
soccer fields #I & #2; and 30 footcandles for soccer field #3.
Bidder shall supply computer generated point by point light scans based on 155,000 lumens per lamp showing both initial and target footcandle levels.
Light levels shall be derived from the equation of light loss factor (LLF) = ambient temperature factor (ATF) x voltage factor (VF) x ballast factor (BF) x lamp tilt factor (LTF) x lamp lumen depreciation (LLD) x luminaire dirt depreciation (LDD) per I.E.S. RP-6-88 and shall be calculated as follows:
Initial Light Levels = ambient temperature factor (ATF) x voltage factor (VF) x ballast factor (BF) x lamp tilt factor (LTF)
Target Light Levels = Initial light levels x lamp lumen depreciation (LLD) x luminaire dirt depreciation (LDD).
Uniformity ratio - The footcandle level shall have a uniformity ratio of maximum to
minimum ratio of not greater than 2.0:l infield, 2.51 outfield or better for the
baseball field; 251 for soccer fields #I & #2; and 2.0:l for soccer field #3.
Kw consumption shall not exceed 137.60 kw for the required number of fixtures to
meet the maintained footcandles levels and spill and glare control requirements.
1 .I .I .6.1. Penalty for kilowatt consumption exceeding the maximum allowable to
achieve the light performance shall be as follows:
20 years (life cycle) x 2 x $.IO per kilowatt hour x number of kw exceeding specification x hours of use per year = penalty for non-
compliance.
The manufacturer guarantees field light intensity levels and uniformity ratios at initial start-up or within the first ffieen (15) hours of operation. Light level readings shall be
completed as detailed in the point by point analysis specification.
