Public Lighting – IP – Municipality of Caruaru/PE

closed

The project includes modernization, expansion, operation and maintenance of the public lighting park in Caruaru. Caruaru is a municipality of 365 thousand inhabitants in the State of Pernambuco, in the Northeast of Brazil. It is estimated that its park is made up of around 34 thousand points of light. Caruaru counts on the Contribution for the Cost of the Public Lighting Service (Cosip), a tax intended exclusively for its public lighting expenses. The future concessionaire will be remunerated, monthly, by payment from the municipality, linked to criteria of modernization, performance and achievement of energy efficiency gains. To be entitled to the full consideration, in addition to achieving milestones for modernization and efficiency of the park, the concessionaire will have to meet public lighting quality criteria (illuminance and uniformity) set out in technical standards (NBR 5.101/2018), in addition to others operational criteria, such as response time to calls and data availability. It should also be an obligation to implement remote management technology at lighting points on more important roads. The studies were conducted by BNDES in partnership with a consortium of consultants Luz Brasil (Thoreos Consultoria, Tellus-Mater and Tauil & Checker Advogados).
