Furnish and install LED Baseball Field Lights at McEver Baseball Fields
SCOPE OF WORK:
Install LED baseball field lights at two baseball fields at the McEver Baseball Fields facility to replace
the existing lights currently being used and add remote monitoring systems and controls. The two fields

28036. Currently, Field 1 has four light posts and 26 total lights and Field 2 has four light posts and 45
total lights. Only the lighting fixtures will be replaced during this project. The baseball fields are largely
used for middle through high school age groups and should meet applicable local, regional, and national
lighting standards and requirements. A photometric layout for each field shall be provided with sealed

Respondents should be familiar with Duke Energy utility and selected lights must be on Duke Energy’s
DesignLights Consortium (DLC) Qualified Products List (QPL). Due to the nature of this site, the
Town has the right to limit work when baseball fields are in use. Locations of the work are shown on
the attached map of this Request for Bids package.
The project is funded through a North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Energy
Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG), and subject to Uniform Guidance requirements. The
chosen team and any subcontractors will need to comply with the terms, conditions, restrictions, and
requirements set forth in the subgrant documentation including, but not limited to, Davis Bacon
