RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Approve and authorize the City Manager, or their designee, to execute a Distribution Line Service Extension Agreement with Southern California Edison for the traffic signal service line extension services at Holland and Haun Road for the Holland Road / I-215 Overcrossing Project, Capital Improvement Program Project No. CIP 13-03, in an amount not-to-exceed $28,780.65.
DISCUSSION
The Holland Road / I-215 Overcrossing, Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Project No. 13-03 (“Project”), is the construction of a new four-lane bridge over Interstate 215 (I-215) from Haun Road to Hanover Lane to provide a transportation connection between the City’s east and west sides. Construction of the Project requires installation of mechanically stabilized earth retaining walls on the east side, improvements to drainage, irrigation, landscaping, and the installation of traffic signals on Holland Road at Haun Road and Holland at Hanover Lane.
The Project is currently under construction and is anticipated to be substantially completed by mid October 2024. To deliver a turn-key facility, staff began coordinating with Southern California Edison (SCE) in February 2023 to prepare the necessary construction drawings and a Distribution Line Service Extension Agreement (“Agreement”) to provide power to the traffic signal at Holland Road and Haun Road (“Traffic Signal”). Due to the complexity of the site, the Project team and the SCE planning department have continued extensive coordination to determine the best route for the line extension to provide power to the proposed Traffic Signal.
On September 3, 2024, staff received the final approved drawings for the line extension from SCE. The Agreement with SCE is for a total amount not-to-exceed $28,780.65, and would include
