Exhibit A
LED STREET LIGHT INSTALLATION AGREEMENT
This LED Street Light Installation Agreement is entered into by and between CenterPoint
Energy Houston Electric, LLC ("CenterPoint" or the "Company") and the City of Pearland
("Customer") (collectively, the "Signatories").
1. CenterPoint will procure and install LED luminaires and new photoelectric relays for all
street lights within the Subdivision for which replacements satisfactory to the Customer
and CenterPoint are commercially available (hereinafter the "Project"). A current list of
satisfactory and commercially available T.FD luminaire replacements for existing mercury
vapor, high pressure sodium, and metal halide street lights is set forth in section 6.1.1.1.6
of CenterPoint's Tariff for Retail Delivery Service (the "Tariff').
2. The Project shall commence within twelve months of the effective date of this agreement
and shall be complete no later than one year after commencement. The Company reserves
the right to change that completion date depending on the demand for LED luminaires by
other retail customers to ensure an efficient and non-discriminatory deployment of LED
luminaires throughout the Company's service territory. After commencement of the
Project, all new streetlights installations within the Subdivision will consist of LED
luminaires satisfactory to the Customer and CenterPoint that are commercially available,
unless otherwise agreed to in writing by CenterPoint and the Customer.
3. The Customer acknowledges that the Company's ability to commence and complete the
Project on the timeline set forth in paragraph 2 above is dependent upon factors such as
workforce availability and vendor production constraints which could affect the
commencement and completion dates. The Company will notify the Customer upon the
occurrence of any event that will affect the commencement and completion dates.
4. The Customer acknowledges that CenterPoint may request recovery of the capital
(including a reasonable return) and expenses associated with the Project through either a
distribution capital recovery factor application under Public Utility Commission of Texas
Substantive Rule 25.243 or other rate proceeding. The Customer agrees that the Project is
prudent, reasonable and necessary and acknowledges that CenterPoint may request
recovery by CenterPoint of all used and useful capital (including a reasonable return) and
the reasonable and necessary expenses associated with the Project.
5. During the Project period, CenterPoint will work in good faith with vendors to identify
satisfactory LED replacement luminaires for those street light luminaires within the
Subdivision that are not currently part of the Project. As the Company and the Customer
agree on additional LED replacement luminaires, the Company will seek regulatory
approval of rates for those street lights not currently part of the Project, if different than the
rates described in the Company's Tariff, and following regulatory approval, if needed, will
add those street lights to the Project.
6. The Signatories agree that this agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts.
7. This agreement is effective on the date it is signed by all parties.
