Bidder/Contractor advantageous to ADWEA/ADDC/AADC, is desired to be presented in the
Bid, this may be proposed as an alternative to that, which is assumed to be in conformity with
the specified design. However, it is not mandatory that the alternative design is going to be
accepted, but shall be subject to the decision of ADWEA/ADDC/AADC upon evaluation of the
same. The difference in price shall be clearly stated in percentage/unit.
All material and equipment of the LED Luminaires and their accessories to be supplied under
above mentioned specifications shall be brand new and unused and of the latest proven “state-of-
the-art” technology. Prototype equipment shall not be accepted.
3.6.5.2 Design
The LED Luminaire shall de designed to operate continuously at the specified ambient
temperature and humidity. The manufacturer shall guarantee the performance of the LED
Luminaire under this design conditions. As the international standards are being developed by
various agencies, the best suitable standard to suit to the specified Ambient Conditions and
climatic conditions shall be adhered by the manufacturers. Special attention shall be given to the
occasional sand storms and dusty weather in designing the luminaire body.
As the complete luminaire are exposed to the sun light, the manufacturer shall specify the
maximum design storage temperature under which the specified performance and the guarantee
of the components are unaffected.
The complete luminaire shall be slim and low profile thus minimizing the wind load
requirements. The housing shall be of low copper content die cast and extruded aluminium
finished with a cathodic painting process providing excellent resistance to fading, peeling
cracking or corrosion. The minimum guarantee to be provided by the manufacturer must be at
least 10 years against fading, peeling, cracking or corrosion of the paint finish under the local
climatic conditions and considering closeness to sea. The driver shall be integral potted and
protected in an IP65 or higher certified environment. The output of the luminaire shall meet
DOT/ADWEA/ADWEA/ADDC/AADC street lighting requirements for roadway/community
lighting.
Currently, the LED Luminaires are considered for the following road types and areas.
Local roads/Sector roads
Parking areas
Parks, Walkways and landscape lighting
Below the bridges
For Local roads/Sector rods and the Parking Area, the maximum pole height for which the LED
Luminaire shall be adopted shall be limited to 10 Mtrs. The technical data sheet D-AA-STRL-
LED (Rev.0-2009) is applicable in these cases. For other areas such as Parks, Walkways,
Landscape lighting, Below Bridges lighting, the Contractor shall propose the LED luminaire
with required luminous flux and power output that shall meet the design requirements. In all
cases it shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to select the luminaire to meet the required
lighting level based on the lighting study for different road type and areas as per design
guidelines.
3.6.5.3 Manufacturing
The light source shall be super bright white Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) .The LED lantern
shall consist of light bar. The Light bars shall be IP certified from an independent laboratory.
Each individual LED shall be fitted with its own refractor with Type II optic, thus providing a
controlled efficient and even light output. The light bars shall be mounted on heavy duty heat
sinks to ensure excellent heat dissipation. The design of the heat sinks shall be such that there is
a direct thermal path from the led junctions to the atmosphere thus providing a thermal chimney
effect through the life of the luminaire. The heat sinks shall be propriety and designed by the
lighting manufacturer to enable the luminaires to work efficiently under specified ambient
conditions and Abu Dhabi climatic conditions. The luminaire shall be provided with a ventilating
screen allowing heat to be dissipated to the atmosphere but minimizing the possibility of build up
of debris on the housing. The design shall be such that the luminaire shall be self cleaning. The
luminaire shall be mounted to the pole by means of a heavy duty rugged cast aluminium
adjustable slip fitter which will accept standard pole arms of 60mm dia OD.
values shall be 0.75 for lanterns mounted on 30.5 m high poles and 0.7 for lanterns mounted on
20, 18, 14 and 10 m high poles.
Lamp Lumen Deprecation factor (LLD) shall be based on the minimum maintained luminous
flux considered at half life specified in the Technical Data Sheets for the respective lamp wattage
and types.
Prior to the construction of any works required for the lighting system under this contract, the
Bidder/Contractor shall submit complete shop drawings for the proposed lanterns. The
Bidder/Contractor’s submittal shall include spectral computations by application of suitable
software for all luminary types, spacing, locations, and combinations for all lighted areas to
prove that the proposed lanterns meet the required design standards as specified in these
Specifications.
Lighting units equipped with luminaries shall illuminate according to the lighting requirement
table 1000.01 of ADM Lighting Design Manual as given below for all the street lighting projects
for Abu Dhabi Municipality.

3.8.1 General
Poles shall be installed in the approved location as per the Supplier’s recommendations, so as not
to cause any damage to the pole. Any damage to the galvanising shall be rectified during erection
in accordance with the Standard Technical Specification, Part:
S-AAA-CORR - Corrosion Protection
Poles shall be erected in a truly vertical position. Bidder/Contractor shall be responsible, until the
expiry of maintenance period, for correcting the alignment of any pole which has departed from
the vertical position, excepting where it is established that such have been due to vehicle impact,
or other reasons acceptable to ADWEA/ADDC/AADC.
Fixing and alignment of brackets and lanterns shall be carried out in accordance with the
appropriate manufacturer's instruction.
All lanterns and lamps shall be assembled, fixed, focused, adjusted and wired in accordance with
manufacturer's instructions.
Cut-outs shall be fixed in the base chamber in an approved manner so that service cable can be
properly terminated and glanded to ensure proper earth continuity.
Grounding rods made of copper shall be installed in easily accessible concrete pits (for tiled
areas) and in pulling pits or in PVC pipe with a cap in other areas.
3.8.2 Foundations
a) Foundations here shall normally be executed as “short” bored piled foundations, cast in
situ, which have to be offered as the standard solution
b) In addition to the standard bored pile foundation the Bidder/Contractor may propose
concrete block foundations (cast in-situ or pre-cast) or other alternatives as foundations for
light poles. However, it shall be up to ADWEA/ADDC/AADC whether to accept the
alternative proposal or not..
Foundation works shall be carried out according to the relevant sections of Standard
Specifications.
Conceptual design drawings for Light Pole Foundations are provided in the Drawings Section
