SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON CO. FACILITIES RELOCATION COST FOR GENE
AUTRY TRAIL WIDENING, MID-VALLEY PARKWAY PHASE II
RECOMMENDATION:
That City Council ratify payment to Southern California Edison Co. (SCE) in the
amount of $25,187.95 for the cost of relocating facilities for Gene Autry Trail
Widening, Mid-Valley Parkway Phase II, City Project No. 99-13
SUMMARY:
The Southern California Edison Company has a vault which requires relocation
as part of the Gene Autry widening portion of the Mid-Valley Parkway - Phase ll.
The facility is in an easement previously purchased by SCE. Payment for
relocation is therefore the responsibility of the City.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the Mid-Valley Parkway Phase II project awarded by Council on August
2, 2000 to Granite Construction, the Southern California Edison Co. (SCE) must
relocate an underground vault facility located on the east side of Gene Autry Trail
at Ramon Road. A written estimate has been received from SCE in the amount
of$25,187.95 for this work. A payment has been made to SCE. This cost is
included in the construction budget for this project.
As has been the practice in the past, Council is notified of large payments to
utilities (greater than $5000) whether or not these relocation costs are included in
the construction budget. SCE operates similarly to the other utilities in that, the
relocation cost estimate is provided during the construction phase and no work
can begin until the payment is made. In order to avoid delay to the City's
contractor, payment is made to the utility.
Staff requests that Council ratify payment to SCE for the relocation of this facility.
Cost is 50% reimbursable from CVAG Regional Measure A funding.
Sufficient funds are available in account numbers 134-4498-50133 and 261-
4491-50133 (Mid-Valley Parkway- Phase ll).
