The City of Destin has in the past utilized the decorative “Destin-Prague” streetlight fixture as part of its corridor lighting (photo attached). Many of these fixtures were installed over 10 years ago and are no longer manufactured or supported by Florida Power & Light (FPL), the City’s contracted streetlighting provider. As a result, FPL is unable to replace or repair these fixtures with matching components when failures occur, leading to growing inconsistencies in the lighting system. To identify a suitable replacement, staff reviewed FPL’s current offerings as presented in the attached FPL LED Lighting Solutions Catalog (attached). According to the catalog, the Teardrop fixture with Deep Skirt, used in combination with the #3 decorative bracket, is the closest available match to the discontinued Destin-Prague in both appearance and lighting performance. Adopting a new fixture/bracket/pole installation requires the City to execute a new FPL Lighting Agreement. Execution of such agreements is the responsibility of the City Manager; however, as many of these fixtures are located within the Town Center CRA, input and recommendation of the preferred fixture is necessary prior to moving forward. | attachments=2 | reports=1
