Street Light Repair Project

Billing Parish Council invites tenders for repair, refurbishment and replacement works to its street lighting network comprising 91 lighting assets, including standard steel columns, Victorian heritage columns, post-top lanterns and bracket-mounted lanterns. The works comprise repairs, refurbishment and replacement items identified within the Council's electrical and structural assessment.

This may include column replacement, lantern replacement, photocell replacement, rewiring, cable repairs, bracket repairs, access doors, column straightening, concrete collars, earth safety labels and asset renumbering. Defective columns identified for replacement shall be removed and replaced with new columns complete with LED lanterns, photocells, testing and commissioning.

Any Victorian heritage columns requiring replacement must be replaced on a like-for-like basis in appearance, scale and character whilst incorporating modern LED lighting technology. Existing heritage columns not identified for replacement shall be cleaned, prepared and repainted.

One asset (No. 50) has not yet undergone inspection. The successful contractor will be required to undertake an electrical and structural assessment of this asset and submit recommendations and costs for any remedial works identified.
