Cleveland to Extend Support for Smart Street Lighting System

The City of Cleveland is moving forward with technical support to manage the city's smart street lighting network. Through the passage of emergency ordinance 600-2026, the Director of Public Utilities is authorized to enter into a three-year contract with ST Engineering Telematics Wireless Ltd to provide hosting and technical support for the Bright City lighting system.

What's in the file

The legislation authorizes a direct award professional services contract to manage the Bright City Control and Management Software (CMS). This web-based system is used by the Division of Cleveland Public Power to collect, save, and present both real-time and historical information from street light cabinets and luminaires.

According to the 600-2026 Legislative Summary, the contract is necessary because ST Engineering Telematics Wireless Ltd is the sole developer and supplier of the Bright City CMS. This software is required to provide remote control and monitoring for the T-Light Galaxy family of products deployed on most of the city's streetlights.

The anticipated costs for the three-year term are:
