INTRODUCTION PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Los Angeles County Public Works (Public Works) is releasing this Request for Information (RFI), requesting information from vendors regarding availability of Light Emitting Diode (LED) luminaire equipment and technology that meets the County's LED Roadway Luminaire Specifications as detailed in Attachment A while meeting a 2200 degrees Kelvin (K) color temperature. This is an RFI only and not a solicitation or offer to contract with any respondent. Submission of a response does not bind the County or respondent to any agreement for services or any other work. This does not constitute a Request for Proposals (RFP), Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ), Invitation for Bids (IFB), Purchase Order (PO), or a promise to issue a solicitation now or in the future. The information obtained as a result of this RFI may be used by the County to prepare and release a future solicitation to solicit proposals to perform the services described in this RFI. The County may also elect to take no further action. Public Works seeks information only and will not provide any reimbursement to respondents to this RFI for their costs incurred in providing a response. Public Works is seeking information related to the potential conversion of County-owned streetlight fixtures from high pressure sodium vapor (HPSV) luminaires to LED luminaires at a specific color temperature of 2200 degrees Kelvin. Through this RFI, Public Works invites all interested companies that provide streetlight luminaire technology to comment and respond. Vendors seeking to submit information responsive to this RFI about products, services, or systems that they have knowledge of, are invited to submit a formal response in writing as outlined in the Responses Section. BACKGROUND Public Works is seeking information regarding LED streetlight luminaires at 2200K color temperature. The LED luminaires must also, to the best of ability, meet or exceed Los Angeles County’s current LED specifications for luminaires as specified in Attachment A, LED Roadway Luminaire Specifications. Note, the current standard specification in Attachment A is for 3000K LED luminaires. A vendor may submit product or technology information that meets most, but not all of the standard specifications due to potential physical limitations of 2200K luminaires. Public Works acquired approximately 40,000 streetlights from Southern California Edison and is upgrading the streetlights from HPSV to LED luminaires to be completed in phases ending December 2022. Some communities in Los Angeles County have requested a lower color temperature LED conversion than the County standard to preserve HPSV color temperature. See Attachment A for the County’s LED Specification. RESPONSES Public Works invites responses from vendors who have product and technology information regarding low color temperature 2200K LED luminaires that meet the County's required specifications in all, or most, regards. The content structure is as follows: 1. Title Page The title page shall show the vendor's name, contact person, title of the RFI, local address, telephone number, fax number, e-mail address, and date of submittal. 2.

Please provide the following information requested below: a.
