Background: The City of Sparks maintains and operates the Victorian Square Parking Garage. The garage lighting currently consists of 166 high pressure sodium lighting fixtures. This project will replace those lighting fixtures with 123 high efficiency LED lighting fixtures utilizing high-low operation, dimming, integrated occupancy and day-lighting sensors. Estimated savings in operation costs for the parking garage by virtue of the lighting retrofit is $14,000 per year. The engineer’s estimate for the project was $132,000.

Analysis: This City of Sparks project will replace the existing HPS lighting fixtures in the Victorian Square Parking Garage with LED lighting fixtures. The project advertised in the Reno Gazette Journal on January 25, 2012 and copies were distributed to local plan rooms. Thirteen bids were opened at City Hall on February 16, 2012.
