A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, DIRECTING THE ADMINISTRATION TO ISSUE A
LETTER TO COMMISSION (LTC) PROVIDING AN UPDATE ON THE STATUS
OF THE CITY'S SMART LIGHTING PROJECT.
WHEREAS, in 2017, the City of Miami Beach issued Request for Qualifications No. 2017-
119-KB for Smart City Street Lighting System and embarked on a comprehensive Citywide Smart
Lighting Project to enhance public safety, improve energy efficiency, and provide uniform street
lighting conditions throughout the City; and
WHEREAS, the project has been progressing through various phases, including
photometric analysis, detailed surveys, development of City Lighting Standards, and the
implementation of a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS); and
WHEREAS, the project is progressing rapidly, with the contractor currently installing
nearly twice the number of fixtures originally projected per day; and
WHEREAS, during the transition to the new smart lighting platform, some residents
reported issues with excessive brightness and flickering; and
WHEREAS, these issues were traced to fixtures operating in photocell mode, which was
overly sensitive to ambient light and to resolve this, the team reprogrammed affected fixtures to
astronomical time mode which uses digital sunrise/sunset data for more stable performance; and
WHEREAS, customized lighting schedules and dimming adjustments are being
implemented to ensure safe, energy efficient illumination; and
WHEREAS, the broader scope also includes voltage transitions and load center
replacements; and
WHEREAS, the benefits of the Smart Lighting Project to the community include promoting
safety, enhancing the resident and visitor experience at night, and minimizing unwanted lighting
on residences or property windows by strategically adding "house shields" to the luminaires; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Commission desire to receive an update on the progress
and status of the Smart Lighting Project via Letter to Commission (LTC) to ensure its successful
implementation and to address any potential challenges or opportunities.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Administration is hereby
directed to issue a Letter to Commission (LTC) providing an update on the status of the City's
Smart Lighting Project.
