RE: City of Blair, Nebraska
Good Morning:
Enclosed is a Request for Amendment to the City of Blair's EECBG Aid Agreement for
converting existing street lights fixtures to LED street light fixtures. The changes requested
include using a different LED light fixture that in the opinion of OPPD is better and less
expensive than the fixture originally proposed and a reduction of labor costs from the original
estimate. The net result of these changes will allow the City of Blair with cooperation of OPPD
to convert up to 590 existing street light fixtures to LED fixtures verses the 345 street light
fixtures in the original proposal.
The City of Blair would like to thank the Nebraska Energy Office for their time and consideration
of our amendment. If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to call me at 402 - 4264191.
Sincerely,
Jam s Realph

Amendment o c - oe o or _ L
Original Scope stated in Appendix B, paragraph 6, of the EECBG Aid meet:
Blair in cooperation with OPPD proposes to convert up to 345 existing roadway street lights that are currently using 100
Watt High Pressure Sodium, HPF ballast, 120/240 volt cobra head light fixtures. The existing roadway light fixtures are
American Electric — 11510SXHDT1 R2D, GE — CAR1153, Cooper Lighting - OVZ1 OSPF2EU1194GE —
M2RR1 OS7H2GMS2, Lamp — Philips — C1 00S54 — ALTO or GE — LU100.
OPPD has used only one LED roadway street light fixture in a very small pilot project in Omaha. The pilot project
covered two city blocks and consisted of only four LED roadway street lights. OPPD and the City of Blair propose to
use this same LED roadway street light fixture in the larger pilot project being proposed with this application. The LED
roadway street light fixture is a Leotek FX Series Luminaries: SL —150W1 R2 -FX, 75 watt, LED Type and Color Temp
( +/ -10 %): InGaN — 5500K (replaces the standard 150 watt HPS) Equal to HPS Lumen Efficiency of 6,000.
Proposed Amendment to Scope:
Blair in cooperation with OPPD proposes to convert up to 590 existing roadway street lights that are currently using 100
and 200 Watt High Pressure Sodium, HPF ballast, 120/240 volt cobra head light fixtures. The existing roadway light
fixtures are American Electric — 11510SXHDTI R21), GE — CAR1153, Cooper Lighting - OVZI OSPF2EU1194GE —
M2RR1 OS7H2GM82, Lamp — Philips — C1 00S54 — ALTO or GE — LU100. OPPD and the City of Blair will use the
Cooper Lighting uLDRCT3SA02E" LED light fixture for the existing 100 Watt Light Fixtures, and the Cooper Lighting
"LDRCT3SA02E" LED light fixture for the existing 200 Watt Light Fixtures,
Reason for Amendment Request:
When the original applications was submitted by OPPD and the City of Blair the LED light fixture proposed at that time was used
by OPPD for the small pilot project in Omaha, Nebraska, but since that submittal OPPD has been able to research into other LED
light fixtures that are available and compare their lighting capabilities and their associated costs. OPPD came to the conclusion that
the Cooper LED light fixture would provide better light and be more durable to be used in our project. In addition, the Cooper LED
light fixture is $182 per fixture lower than the Leotek FX Series Light Fixture for the 100 Watt equivalent fixture, and is only $59
more for the 200 Watt equivalent fixture. We did not include 200 Watt equivalent fixtures in the original proposal because of their
costs but if this amendment is approved, we will be able to include 200 Watt equivalent light fixtures within the project increasing
the overall energy savings.
OPPD and the City of Blair have been able to better define our anticipated labor for this project. OPPD has a contractor they have
for street light maintenance and they will be using this contractor for this project. The new labor rate for this project is estimated at
$100 per LED light fixture instead of the $326.18 in the original proposal.
With the cost savings of the proposed changing of the LED light fixtures, and the reduced labor estimate OPPD and the City of
Blair are confident we will be able to convert 515 -100 Watt and 74 - 200 Watt light fixtures with this project for the same amount
of money that is budgeted. This will allow a savings of an additional 100,000 kwh for an annual additional savings of $16,781.50,
and an addional 315 metric tons of CO2 eliminated from the atmosphere. If this amendment is approvecd, the LED street light
conversion project will convert 80% of the existing street lights within the city of Blair that OPPD is responsible for.
