Juvenile Boise LED Lighting Upgrade

The purpose of this project is to upgrade the exterior lighting and selected interior fixtures at the Juvenile Court Services facility with energy-efficient LED lighting. The goal is to control costs by purchasing the LED lamps and fixtures needed for the project and use qualified in-house County staff for the installation.

Ada County is committed to minimizing its impact on the environment by operating buildings efficiently and using lighting effectively. Ada County will only purchase lighting products that meet our specifications, in order to provide a safe and functional facility in the most economical and environmentally friendly manner.
