Restoring electrical service to Kingston Point Lighthouse to its condition prior to Superstorm Sandy will
require replacement of the electrical power distribution assets serving the lighthouse, including
installation of electrical cable/conduit, an elevated platform and support appurtenances; removal of debris
within lighthouse; replacement of plinth of lighthouse; and installation of interior, electrical, mechanical
and plumbing improvements at lighthouse, complete. This includes but not limited providing all labor,
tools, demolition required to install all of equipment supplied and any and all other incidental demolition
and installation work as identified in the project drawings, including but not limited to clearing and
preparing the site for construction, access/logistics for installation, and coordination of improvements.
The electrical power distribution panels, junction boxes, and conduit require upgrades to meet current
NEC, NFPA, and IETA / NETA codes and standards with respect to exterior enclosures and mounting
heights.
Kingston Point Lighthouse, also known as Rondout Lighthouse, completed in 1915 that marks the
entrance to the Rondout Creek from the Hudson River. It is currently owned by the City of Kingston,
operated by the Hudson River Maritime Museum, and is open for tours via boat. This is the last of three
lighthouses built at the site, which was once a major port after the Delaware & Hudson Canal opened in
1828.
The lighthouse is located at the end of a rip-rap jetty at the mouth of the Rondout Creek, east of the city’s
Rondout Business District at 53 Delaware Avenue, Kingston NY 12401. The site is listed on the U.S.
National Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places.
