Council approves contract for LED parking-lot lighting under federal block grant
Summary
Livingston Parish authorized a contract with the low bidder, Jones Signs LLC, to install LED lighting at government complex parking lots under an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) direct allocation from the U.S. Department of Energy.
The Livingston Parish Council on May 8 voted unanimously to authorize the parish president to enter into a contract with Jones Signs LLC to install LED lighting in three parking areas of the government complex – the health unit, the DMV building and the courthouse – funded by an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) direct allocation from the U.S. Department of Energy.
Staff noted Jones Signs was the low bidder out of four respondents. The item was presented by the Parish Grants Department; the staff report said the contract would proceed under the direct EECBG allocation and that Jones Signs was the low, responsive bidder identified in the bid tabulation.
Why it matters: The project is intended to improve energy efficiency at county-owned facilities and reduce operational electricity costs; the EECBG program supports local government energy upgrades.
What’s next: Parish administration will finalize the contract with Jones Signs LLC and schedule installation per grant requirements and procurement rules.
