Quick Summary
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) is seeking proposals for the replacement of existing lighting with new solar LED streetlights and floodlights at its Shore Side Detachment in Demopolis, AL.

Scope of Work
The project involves the removal of 12 existing LED parking lot and pier lights, including unnecessary electrical wiring and components. The contractor will then install 9 new solar LED streetlights and 3 solar LED floodlights, along with all necessary electrical components, mounting equipment, and hardware. Repair of remaining openings on light poles is also required. Specific models like Atlas PFMXW43LED for small sign lights and Atlas SLP16145LEDTF4KU for pole lights are specified. New floodlights must meet or exceed 16,000 lumens, offer 2-5 nights solar autonomy, and withstand 90-110 MPH wind loads. The contractor is responsible for providing all trim, hardware, caulk, and sealing materials, and performing function tests. All electrical runs from the pole base to the top must be removed, with floodlight runs secured and capped.
