Compare High Mast Lighting Quotes (Apples-to-Apples)
This guide prevents “not comparable” bids by locking deliverables and assumptions first, then scoring price.
Where This Guide Fits
- Run this bundle: Procurement Bundle
- Resources: Spec Definitions · RFQ/BOQ Kit
Step 1: Lock Pass/Fail Deliverables (before price)
- IES/LDT files + simulation outputs (Avg/Min/Uniformity + assumptions)
- Layout proposal (pole height/spacing/aiming notes)
- Wind/EPA assumptions + structural deliverables checklist
- Quality evidence pack (IP/IK, surge, corrosion, inspections, traceability)
- Acceptance deliverables (as-built + commissioning + warranty/SLA)
Step 2: Normalize assumptions
- Same target lux/uniformity and same calculation area
- Same pole height constraints and layout boundary conditions
- Same glare/spill constraints and aiming limits
- Structure assumptions stated (wind zone/exposure)
Step 3: Score bids (example rubric)
- Compliance (Pass/Fail): photometrics deliverables + assumptions
- Structure readiness: wind/EPA + drawings + foundation checklist
- Evidence gates: quality + traceability
- Lifecycle: O&M + spares + warranty/SLA
- Price: only after everything above passes
