Thursday, 15 May 2008

Balfour Beatty has been short listed with two other contractors to replace and improve thousands of outdated streetlights, illuminated traffic signs and bollards in Coventry.

The shortlisted three are:

*Amey Ventures Investments
*Balfour Beatty
*Community Lighting Partnerships

Coventry City Council will enter into a Private Finance Initiative for the replacement of around 80% of its existing 32,000 streetlights, along with the replacement of illuminated traffic signs and bollards.

It is thought a contractor will be selected in spring 2009 with work beginning in autumn 2009.

The selected contractor will also be responsible for all future maintenance of the lighting infrastructure at a standard set by the council for a 25year period.
