I know you said the shoe boxes will be replaced on the existing poles, but I was wondering about a few things:

* Do you need to remove + replace any existing Light Standards ("Poles"), or are the bases & poles devoid of damage issues?

* Did any original standards fall when a strong wind came along (reason #1 for the Client to have Parking Lot Lighting replaced)

* How tall are these poles?

It is going to be a PITA to setup the fixtures with the poles already standing, and the PITA value increases exponentially for every 5 feet exceeding the most smallest of poles (8 foot pole, +30" base, minimum PITA value @ 10'6" above finish grade).

Another PITA extreme will come in the form of removing the existing fixtures (if any), without dropping them on cars, or dropping them at all (large mess to clean up).

You may need to increase your labor an additional 50% to compensate for the "Circuis-Like Work Environment" involved with tasks such as this.

Let us know how things work out here!
