plans. Any questions concerning street lighting may be addressed by calling the

Transportation Department, Streetlight Management at 930-2940.

Note 1

The term developer is an inclusive term and includes, but is not limited to developers,

engineers, contractors and/or subcontractors concerning services and responsibilitiesaddressed throughout this manual.

Notes 2

The City of Glendale is serviced by two electric utility companies; Arizona Public Service

State of Arizona, to prepare the lighting system design and appropriate calculations relative to

illumination levels. Illumination design shall follow the recommendation of the American

National Standard Practice for Roadway Lighting, Illuminating Engineering Society of North

America (IES), IES RP-8. The luminance criteria, with light loss factors of .76 (HPS), shall be

used to determine conformity with IES and city street lighting design guidelines.

Street lighting plans shall be submitted at the service counter at the Development Services

Center (second floor, Municipal Building) or by mail/carrier addressed to:

City of Glendale

Development Services Center

5850 West Glendale Avenue

The developer shall submit six (6) sets of plans, specifications and electrical engineering

requirements for the first review.

Once final review has been completed, six (6) sets of plans, specifications, material quantities

and product literature shall be submitted for approval. Approval is limited to six (6) months and

may be renewed for another six (6) months if requirements have not changed. When the plans

have been stamped approved, the four (4) sets will be distributed as follows:

1- the utility company (by the Streetlight Management)

1- Building Safety

1- Street Lighting (Streetlight Management)

1- retained for streetlight contractor

The developer shall pay all related permit and power connection fees and is responsible for

notifying the electric utility company of any design changes, affecting power service and/or

common trench.

Design conflicts shall be resolved by the developer to the satisfaction of the electrical utility

company. It shall be the developers responsibility to coordinate conflicts with all electric utility

company equipment without compromise to the uniformity in the lighting design.


11/75

The installation and inspection of street lighting shall be accomplished in a timely manner. A

final inspection of the streetlight installation will be accomplished by the City of Glendale

Transportation and Building Safety Departments. If necessary, a list of discrepancies will be

submitted to the contractor for corrective action. When corrective action has been accomplished,

to the satisfaction of the City, approval for power connection will be transmitted to the electric

utility company by the Transportation Department. All streetlights shall be connected to thepermanent power supply and functioning properly before final acceptance of the street lighting

installation.

The developer shall be responsible for the actions of the contractor installing the street lighting

system.
