Subject: Accept Bids and Award Contract to Southern Contracting Company for the
Street Lighting Replacement Program Phase II Project
Districts: All
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution accepting bids and awarding a contract to Southern Contracting Company
for the Street Lighting Replacement Program Phase II, Capital Improvement Program Project
No. 6062, for an amount not to exceed $767,012.
Executive Summary
The City Council is being asked to award a contract for the second phase of the city’s Street
Lighting Replacement Program to Southern Contracting Company, which staff have determined
is the lowest responsive and responsible bidder with a bid in an amount of $767,012.
The City Council’s approval is required under Carlsbad Municipal Code sections 3.28.080(C) and
3.28.080(I)(6), which require the City Council’s approval for all formally bid construction
contracts when the value exceeds $200,000.
Discussion
Overview
The city converted all high-pressure sodium streetlight fixtures to induction lighting fixtures in
2010. The current induction lighting fixtures are reaching the end of their useful life and must
be replaced. The Street Lighting Replacement Program, Capital Improvement Program Project
No. 6062, was established to fund the needed replacements.
•Phase I of the program replaced about 1,500 cobra-head style streetlights with new
energy-efficient LED fixtures at signal-controlled intersections, on arterial streets,
employment/transit connector streets, arterial connector streets and coastal streets, as
identified in the Mobility Element of the city’s General Plan, the section that covers
transportation.
•Phase II will convert 2,115 aging cobra-head style induction lighting fixtures to LEDs.
These fixtures are on all of Carlsbad’s collector streets, all streets within the area west of
Interstate-5 and between the Buena Vista and Agua Hedionda Lagoons, and in each cul-
de-sac citywide.
The streetlight location map is provided as Exhibit 2.

The new LED fixtures are about 33% more efficient in the amount of light output and energy
consumed than the older induction lighting fixtures, which reduces the city’s energy and
maintenance costs.
Bidding process
• The City Council approved the plans and specifications for the project and
authorized advertising it for construction bids on July 19, 2022. (Resolution No.
2022-181)
• The project was then advertised using the city’s formal bidding procedures.
• On Sept. 12, 2022, the advertisement was cancelled because staff time was
reprioritized to focus on the local emergency regarding traffic safety.1 No bids had
been received.
• The advertisement was reposted on May 17, 2023.
• Staff received five bids for construction of the project on July 12, 2023.
Staff have completed reviewing the bid documents and have determined that Southern
Contracting Company was qualified to perform the requested services and offers the best value
to the city. Staff recommend accepting the bids and awarding the construction contract to
Southern Contracting Company for the project in an amount not to exceed $767,012.
Fiscal Analysis
Sufficient funds are available to complete the project, with an expected cost of $857,012
including construction contingency, construction management, and inspection and material
testing services. The project funding consists of TransNet2 and general capital construction
funds.
1 The City of Carlsbad proclaimed a local state of emergency related to traffic safety in August 2022.
2 TransNet is a countywide sales tax collected to fund regional transportation projects.

Aug. 29, 2023 Item #1 Page 2 of 8
Carlsbad Municipal Code Sections 3.28.040(C)(5) and 3.28.090(B) allow for the City Council to
authorize the City Manager or designee to approve change orders in an amount equal to the
contingency set at the time of project award, which for this project is $40,000.
Next Steps
With the City Council’s approval, staff will award the construction contract to Southern
Contracting Company. Work to replace the existing streetlights with new energy-efficient LED
lights is anticipated to start this summer and complete prior to the end of December 2023.
Future phases of the LED conversion program will include larger sections of residential streets.
This includes replacing the post-top style lights that are primarily in the downtown Village and
La Costa areas, which have the light atop the pole without an extending arm, and the mission-
bell style lights found citywide. Staff plan to return to the City Council to request approval for
those project phases by early 2024.
Environmental Evaluation
The City Planner has determined that the project is exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act according to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(d) – which applies to the restoration or
rehabilitation of existing deteriorated or damaged structures to meet current standards of
public health and safety that involve negligible or no expansion of use. None of the exceptions
to the exemptions provided in Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply.

Dear Mayor and Council:
All Receive -Agenda Item # J_
For the Information of the:
. _fl~ COUNCIL
Date~CA v-cc v
CM ..J:C'"ACM V""'""DCM (3) i::::::
I understand the City is looking to install more LED street lights. I have nothing in general against LED lights, but I have
found the type of LED street lights installed so far by the City to be annoying. They are brighter and often put out more
light sideways into drivers faces with a lot of glare. Driving around town there are locations where I have to shield my
eyes or drop my visor because they are so bright.
One would think a bright light at night would be a good thing, but these are too bright. When one drives from where
they are bright to an area that has no lights or less light our eyes don't react fast enough and that is dangerous. It is
more relaxing and easier to see with the older non-LED lights. There are probably parts of downtown where brighter
lights make sense, but I don't believe this is true for the rest of the City.
I am simply asking that any new LED lights put the light down and not sideways, and pull back on the brightness some.
Maybe look into the color temperature used for these lights to reduce the glare. The city of Flagstaff put a lot of work
into LED lights to get a dark sky designation, and perhaps our staff could check into what they learned about LED lights.
Not necessarily to use the same lights they use but they may have information useful in our choices.
Appreciate the efforts to keep Carlsbad running great as a city.
Thanks,
Robert Leider
