General Project Description

This project involves a comprehensive energy efficiency retrofit of the San Bernardino County Transportation Agency building at the Santa Fe Train Depot. The scope includes upgrading all interior lighting (suites 110, 140, 200, boardroom, main lobby, and restrooms) and exterior lighting (canopy lights and parking lot lights in the front and east lots) to high-efficiency LED systems. The work requires disconnecting and properly disposing of existing inefficient lighting (fluorescent, incandescent, metal halide) and ballasts, rewiring, and installing new LED lamps with controls such as occupancy sensors and photocells/timeclock controls to comply with Title 24 energy code requirements. The contractor must verify existing inventory, electrical panels, ensure new equipment meets specifications (e.g., luminous efficacy, CRI, UL-listing), and provide installation documentation. The contractor is also responsible for investigating and confirming all available rebates and submitting the necessary paperwork to SBCTA C/O Citycom.
