The City of Shakopee has been working to upgrade lighting in various city facilities to LED over the past several years in order to decrease maintenance time and equipment costs, as well as decrease ongoing operational costs. At this time the lighting systems in the city's fire stations are reaching the end of their useful life and stocked replacement parts have diminished. Staff is recommending upgrading these lighting systems to LED at this time. 

The original scope of the project was only the equipment bays at each station, but all vendors quoted two indoor spaces as well. The lowest bid, Choice Electric, is able to accommodate the equipment bays and the indoor spaces while remaining under the original project estimate. The indoor spaces include the large training room at Station One, which will remain untouched as part of the potential remodel, as well as the small office and training space at Station Two, which would have that entire building converted to LED fixtures. Staff is recommending to complete the lighting conversion in all of these spaces.
