Proposed Method to Accomplish the work
1) Luminaire Upgrades / Maintenance
a) ALSI utilizes state-of-the-art equipment for the installation. Our aerial trucks are self-contained and allow our technicians to move safely from the inside of the vehicle to the bucket platform of the truck. All conversions are completed without stepping outside the vehicle. Using this method, each streetlight typically takes no longer than 10 minutes per conversion. Since the vehicle is stopped for less than 15 minutes, setting up traffic control is not necessary (rolling traffic control is utilized) for residential and low congested areas.
b) Once at the streetlight to be converted the vehicle flashers with directional board are activated directing traffic away from vehicle.
c) All PPE is worn, Class "O" electrical gloves, hardhat, safety eyewear, and fall protection d) Once the truck is positioned the electrician places a new fixture / lamp & ballasts in the bucket of the aerial device. Again, without leaving the vehicle.
e) the electrician booms up to the fixture and positions underneath so that any debris from opening the fixture, dust, leaves, etc. will fall into the bucket.
f) The electrician then opens the fixture, tests for voltage, and disconnects the primary line and neutral from the service. Once disconnected the primary lines are secured so they don't fall down the mast arm/pole.
g) The electrician then proceeds to loosen the fixture from the mast arm utilizing a cordless impact driver.
h) Once the fixture has been removed the new LED fixture will be installed and adjusted so that it is level and at the proper tilt. Torqued to manufactures recommendations. i) The fixture is then energized, and photocell pointed north, and test activated to ensure proper operation.
j) Bird deterrents, fuses, shields, and other devices (supplied by City) called out in the conversion schedule from City will be replaced as indicated.
k) Once the streetlight is converted the MASTER conversion file is updated and pole identified on the mapping program file by the electrician performing the installation. ) In the event of "items" not covered under this scope of work or, conditions that may not allow the conversion, the technician is able to provide accurate details by updating the MASTER conversion file.
Examples issues are: Active Bird Nest, Tree Trimming needed, no fixture, no power, missing pole, no access, etc.
2) Luminaire installations at various locations:
a.) Intersections with traffic signal lights
b.) Provided a shoulder with access for vehicles to pass safely then MOBILE rolling traffic control will be implemented per CA MUTCD 2014 Rev 4 Pt
c.) where there is no shoulder - standard lane closure traffic control plans will be provided and followed.
If additional pedestrian or bicycle lanes impede the work area, then directional signs, arrows, will be provided and pedestrian traffic directed safely around the work area. d.) High traffic roadways
e.) Work will be completed after hours

f.) If working after hours is not feasible due to high volume traffic, then traffic control plans for the lane closure(s) will be provided and implemented
g.) Commercial and Industrial areas
h.) MOBILE rolling traffic control will be implemented per CA MUTCD 2014 Rev 4 Pt 6 i.) Residential areas
j.) MOBILE rolling traffic control will be implemented per CA MUTCD 2014 Rev 4 Pt 6 3) Streetlight Pole Visual Inspection
ALSI will perform a structural soundness visual inspection of the streetlight pole, mast, and luminaire, to identify defects such as out of plumb, major damage, fatigue, cracks, corrosion, no power, etc.
a.) Arriving at pole, area will be secured to provide safe access to inspect pole b.) Prior to inspection a visual of the entire pole and base to determine if the pole is sound for inspection. Poles that appear to be damages/cracked or unsafe will be reported to City and the inspection will not to be completed
c.) Photos will be taken of the entire pole, badge number, base as is condition, (Steel Poles) base after clam shell removed, any abnormalities on pole or attachments d.) Poles will be check for plum utilizing 935DAG Digital Electronic Level and Angle Gauge and photo documented if out of plum greater than 5%
e.) Prior to photo of base after clamshell removed, (Steel Poles) base will be brushed and free of light vegetation and dirt prior to photo
4) Job Site Management and Traffic Control
ALSI will ensure that all logistics are carefully coordinated for this project with City. ALSI will work with City project point of contacts to develop a job site management plan that minimizes interruption to City service areas and includes material pickup, traffic control, waste handling, required permit, installation schedule and traffic Control.
Rolling Traffic Control Plan (RTCP)
ALSI will be replacing existing HPS fixtures with new LED fixtures throughout the Calexico designated project area, both residential and main arterial roads. Residential neighborhood conversions will be performed during daytime hours with trucks that are highly visible with flashing strobe lights and directional traffic advisor light bars.
Typically, in the residential areas because of such a short duration of work, 10 minutes or less per light fixture, we have found that a RTCP with flashing strobes traffic advisories and cones meet the MUTCD requirements and are the safest way to approach this work.
During short-duration work, it often takes longer to set up and remove the TTC zone than to perform the work. Workers face hazards in setting up and taking down the TTC zone. Also, since the work time is short, delays affecting road users are significantly increased when additional devices are installed and removed.
On the major arterial streets if required ALSI will move to second/third shift to reduce the traffic congestion and make a safe operation for both workers and travelers. Again, 10 minutes or less per light fixture, we have found that a RTCP with our highly visible, flashing strobe lights and directional traffic advisor light bars our specialized fleet meet the MUTCD requirements.

If the rolling traffic control plan is not suited for afterhours high volume traffic areas, and the work regardless of shift time will be exposed to high traffic that impedes on the work area, then ALSI will follow California MUTCD 2014 Edition Traffic Control guidelines.
When it becomes necessary (as outlined in the previous paragraph) to work outside of a RTCP a TCP will be developed for the specific worksite and submitted to City of Calexico for approval one week prior to scheduling work in the high traffic area.
5) Work Coordination

Proposed Method to Accomplish the work
1) Luminaire Upgrades / Maintenance
a) ALSI utilizes state-of-the-art equipment for the installation. Our aerial trucks are self-contained and allow our technicians to move safely from the inside of the vehicle to the bucket platform of the truck. All conversions are completed without stepping outside the vehicle. Using this method, each streetlight typically takes no longer than 10 minutes per conversion. Since the vehicle is stopped for less than 15 minutes, setting up traffic control is not necessary (rolling traffic control is utilized) for residential and low congested areas.
b) Once at the streetlight to be converted the vehicle flashers with directional board are activated directing traffic away from vehicle.
c) All PPE is worn, Class "O" electrical gloves, hardhat, safety eyewear, and fall protection d) Once the truck is positioned the electrician places a new fixture / lamp & ballasts in the bucket of the aerial device. Again, without leaving the vehicle.
e) the electrician booms up to the fixture and positions underneath so that any debris from opening the fixture, dust, leaves, etc. will fall into the bucket.
f) The electrician then opens the fixture, tests for voltage, and disconnects the primary line and neutral from the service. Once disconnected the primary lines are secured so they don't fall down the mast arm/pole.
g) The electrician then proceeds to loosen the fixture from the mast arm utilizing a cordless impact driver.
h) Once the fixture has been removed the new LED fixture will be installed and adjusted so that it is level and at the proper tilt. Torqued to manufactures recommendations. i) The fixture is then energized, and photocell pointed north, and test activated to ensure proper operation.
j) Bird deterrents, fuses, shields, and other devices (supplied by City) called out in the conversion schedule from City will be replaced as indicated.
k) Once the streetlight is converted the MASTER conversion file is updated and pole identified on the mapping program file by the electrician performing the installation.
I) In the event of "items" not covered under this scope of work or, conditions that may not allow the conversion, the technician is able to provide accurate details by updating the MASTER conversion file.
Examples issues are: Active Bird Nest, Tree Trimming needed, no fixture, no power, missing pole, no access, etc.
2) Luminaire installations at various locations:
a.) Intersections with traffic signal lights
b.) Provided a shoulder with access for vehicles to pass safely then MOBILE rolling traffic control will be implemented per CA MUTCD 2014 Rev 4 Pt
c.) where there is no shoulder - standard lane closure traffic control plans will be provided and followed.
If additional pedestrian or bicycle lanes impede the work area, then directional signs, arrows, will be provided and pedestrian traffic directed safely around the work area. d.) High traffic roadways
e.) Work will be completed after hours

f.) If working after hours is not feasible due to high volume traffic, then traffic control plans for the lane closure(s) will be provided and implemented
g.) Commercial and Industrial areas
h.) MOBILE rolling traffic control will be implemented per CA MUTCD 2014 Rev 4 Pt 6 i.) Residential areas
j.) MOBILE rolling traffic control will be implemented per CA MUTCD 2014 Rev 4 Pt 6 3) Streetlight Pole Visual Inspection
ALSI will perform a structural soundness visual inspection of the streetlight pole, mast, and luminaire, to identify defects such as out of plumb, major damage, fatigue, cracks, corrosion, no power, etc.
a.) Arriving at pole, area will be secured to provide safe access to inspect pole b.) Prior to inspection a visual of the entire pole and base to determine if the pole is sound for inspection. Poles that appear to be damages/cracked or unsafe will be reported to City and the inspection will not to be completed
c.) Photos will be taken of the entire pole, badge number, base as is condition, (Steel Poles) base after clam shell removed, any abnormalities on pole or attachments d.) Poles will be check for plum utilizing 935DAG Digital Electronic Level and Angle Gauge and photo documented if out of plum greater than 5%
e.) Prior to photo of base after clamshell removed, (Steel Poles) base will be brushed and free of light vegetation and dirt prior to photo
4) Job Site Management and Traffic Control
ALSI will ensure that all logistics are carefully coordinated for this project with City. ALSI will work with City project point of contacts to develop a job site management plan that minimizes interruption to City service areas and includes material pickup, traffic control, waste handling, required permit, installation schedule and traffic Control.
Rolling Traffic Control Plan (RTCP)
ALSI will be replacing existing HPS fixtures with new LED fixtures throughout the Calexico designated project area, both residential and main arterial roads. Residential neighborhood conversions will be performed during daytime hours with trucks that are highly visible with flashing strobe lights and directional traffic advisor light bars.
Typically, in the residential areas because of such a short duration of work, 10 minutes or less per light fixture, we have found that a RTCP with flashing strobes traffic advisories and cones meet the MUTCD requirements and are the safest way to approach this work.
During short-duration work, it often takes longer to set up and remove the TTC zone than to perform the work. Workers face hazards in setting up and taking down the TTC zone. Also, since the work time is short, delays affecting road users are significantly increased when additional devices are installed and removed.
On the major arterial streets if required ALSI will move to second/third shift to reduce the traffic congestion and make a safe operation for both workers and travelers. Again, 10 minutes or less per light fixture, we have found that a RTCP with our highly visible, flashing strobe lights and directional traffic advisor light bars our specialized fleet meet the MUTCD requirements.

City of Calexico
RFP for On Call Street Lighting Maintenance and Repairs In Downtown Calexico
If the rolling traffic control plan is not suited for afterhours high volume traffic areas, and the work regardless of shift time will be exposed to high traffic that impedes on the work area, then ALSI will follow California MUTCD 2014 Edition Traffic Control guidelines.
When it becomes necessary (as outlined in the previous paragraph) to work outside of a RTCP a TCP will be developed for the specific worksite and submitted to City of Calexico for approval one week prior to scheduling work in the high traffic area.
5) Work Coordination
As mentioned throughout this proposal, ALSI will maintain proper communication and coordination to ensure this project is a success. ALSI will work to ensure inspection details, installation quality, public safety, work safety, compliance with ALL agency requirements, proper material handling, proper debris handling, traffic control requirements are met.
6) Identify Expectations
ALSI is a self-performing and understands the need to have a contractor who works independently. ALSI will provide daily and weekly updates to City of Calexico.
