    Summary Details:
    This Request for Proposals ("RFP") is an invitation by the District of Summerland (the “District”) to prospective Proponents to submit non-binding Proposals for the replacement of existing interior and exterior lighting fixtures with Light Emitting Diode luminaires (“LEDs”) at up to eleven (11) municipally-owned buildings located in Summerland, as further described in Section 2 - Deliverables.

    The scope of this project is to replace existing interior and exterior lights and fixtures in up to eleven (11) municipally owned buildings with LED equivalents; improving lighting controls by adding occupancy sensors, vacancy sensors, dimmer switches, and timer switches in some spaces to further improve efficiency; and making some electrical upgrades where required.

    FortisBC provides rebates for the lighting replaced and installed as part of this project as part of incentives identified through energy audits conducted in 2019. We expect the Supplier to work with the District to provide appropriate documentation to assist in the process of submitting an application for rebates to FortisBC, and provide lighting and fixtures that are DLC listed.
