BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:

Authorize the Supervisor and Clerk to enter into an Agreement with DTE Energy to furnish and install sixty-two street lighting fixtures at pedestrian intersection crossings in various locations across the township, for a cost not to exceed $50,000 including contingency, subject to Township Attorney approval.

BACKGROUND:

On February 24, 2021 the Board authorized the purchase and installation of street lights, per DTE's recommendations, adjacent to pedestrian crossings. Upon receiving that initial approval, DTE completed their planning and review process regarding the streetlight locations and specifications in order to provide the final agreement and proposed plans for your review and authorization. The final project proposal includes the installation of 4, 58W stock fixtures on wood poles and 58, 136W stock fixtures on wood poles, for a total of 62 lights to be installed. The total estimated annual lamp charges have been reduced from the initial agreement from $17,533 to $16,286, due to changes in the number and size of the fixtures.
