SUSTAINABLE PROJECT
PROJECT: City of Oceanside, City-wide LED Modernization Project
CONTRACTOR: Southern Contracting Company
OWNER: City of Oceanside
ARCHITECT: Stantec – Paul Ericson, Engineering Manager
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The City of Oceanside needed assistance to
convert 7,661 HPS streetlights to LEDs. This Design-Build project allowed
Southern Contracting to make recommendations related to lighting design, purchase
price of the LED lights, and upgrades to decorative post tops. Integrating constructability
and value engineering services created sufficient energy payback savings to support the
City’s goal of affording Advanced Lighting Controls. The project saves the City $375,000
in annual electricity costs, reduces energy consumption by approximately 2.5 million
kilowatt hours, and reduces CO2 emissions by 1.5 million pounds per year.
