This work is <br /> currently under contract . The cost for the reconstruction is <br /> split 50o County, 5001 City per Ramsey County agreement 94011 . <br /> After completion of the plans and award of the contract the <br /> County decided to retrofit the traffic signal heads with <br /> Light Emitting Diode (LED) indications for the red ball and <br /> don' t walk indications . This technology has recently become <br /> • more acceptable and available . Using LED indications in place <br /> of the traditional "light bulb" results in a 40o reduction in <br /> energy consumption and significantly reduces the failure rate <br /> of the light . The energy reduction directly benefits the City <br /> of Saint Anthony as ' they are the agency responsible for ' the <br /> electric costs for this traffic signal . <br /> The costs to retrofit the signal heads with LED indications <br /> is $5, 247 . 00 for the traffic signal at Silver Lake Road and <br /> 39th Avenue . This cost would .be split 50-50 between the City <br /> and County consistent with the rest of the traffic signal <br /> reconstruction costs . Z have included for review by your <br /> agency the original- of the supplemental agreement for this <br /> change to the contract . If this meets with your approval <br /> please present it to the City Council for approval and <br /> signature . Please send the signed original back to me, I will <br /> submit a fully signed copy of the supplemental agreement to <br /> the City upon execution by all parties . <br /> Thanks for your continued assistance in this project . If you <br /> have any questions or need any additional information please <br /> feel free to give me a ,call at 482-5209 . <br /> Sincerely, <br /> F• SOL%. <br /> Daniel E.
