LED Street Lights and Controllers

The Massachusetts Municipal Wholesale Electric Company (MMWEC) is conducting a procurement on behalf of 14 participating municipal light plants (MLPs) in Massachusetts to obtain LED streetlights and 7-pin controllers. MMWEC is seeking sealed proposals for up to 22,000 LED streetlights and up to 9,000 7-pin controllers. The procurement is funded through a grant from the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER) to replace existing high-pressure sodium and mercury vapor streetlights with energy-efficient LED technology across the participating MLP service territories. Proposals are due by 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 12, 2017, and MMWEC reserves the right to reject any and all proposals. The pricing will be on a unit basis, and the proposals may be divided in a manner that is most advantageous to MMWEC and the participating MLPs, potentially resulting in multiple purchase awards of varying quantities.

This procurement does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The notice does not identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The total estimated value of the procurement is not provided, but it is likely to be significant given the scale of the streetlight replacement project across multiple municipal jurisdictions.
