Ready, City Manager Initiated by: Public Works and Engineering Department SUMMARY Approval of this item will authorize the issuance of an Encroachment License to Windtec Energy, LTD, for operation and maintenance of private high voltage underground electric lines located in 19th Avenue. RECOMMENDATION: 1) Approve Agreement No. , an Encroachment License between the City of Palm Springs and Windtec Energy, LTD, a California corporation, for operation and maintenance of private high voltage underground electric lines located in 19th Avenue; and 2) Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents. STAFF ANALYSIS: Chapter 14.16 of the Palm Springs Municipal Code requires an encroachment permit to be issued for any improvements constructed in the public right-of-way. Additionally, whenever utility facilities or other improvements of a type of use determined by the Director of Public Works to require additional liability protection for the City, a formal agreement through an Encroachment License is required. On March 9, 2011, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit Case No. 5.123 for the installation and operation of a 4.98 megawatt solar energy conversion system ("SECS") project on a 24 acre site located north of Interstate 10 and south of 19th Avenue. When completed, the power generated by the SECS will be fed through a privately operated and maintained underground high-voltage electrical system to an SCE electric sub-station. There are portions of the private underground high-voltage ITEM NO. �L City Council Staff Report January 18, 2012- Page 2 Encroachment License with Windtec Energy, LTD electrical system that must extend from the SECS site, across 19th Avenue, to the SCE substation. Conditions imposed by the Planning Commission required the applicant to obtain an Encroachment License for the private underground high-voltage electrical lines extending across public rights-of-way. The proposed Encroachment License satisfies that requirement. The applicant (Windtec Energy, LTD) requests an encroachment, 30 feet wide, extending across 19th Avenue approximately 400 feet east of the centerline of Karen Avenue. The private utilities will be installed at an appropriate depth with a marker tape above it to further protect and identify the privately owned utility. Conditions of the Encroachment License require the applicant to join and maintain membership with Underground Service Alert of Southern California (USA/Dig Alert), imposing requirements on the applicant to maintain its private utilities, and to identify and mark its location within the right-of-way when construction or excavation may occur within the street. Staff recommends approval of the encroachment license with Windtec Energy, LTD. FISCAL IMPACT: None. SUBMITTED: Prepared by: Recommended by: /"WWW 4� Marcus L. Fuller David J.

Licensee shall have the right and obligation to maintain, repair and replace, at its own cost and expense, the Encroachment so as to keep the Encroachment Area in a neat, clean, first class condition and in good order and repair,free of trash and debris at all times. As the Encroachment Area consists of public street rights- of-way, the Licensee shall ensure that any excavations, trenches, and backfill and repaving of trenches excavated by Licensee for the Encroachment are maintained as required by the City, in accordance with applicable City standards or as directed by the City Engineer. Licensee hereby agrees to perform such additional repairs and/or maintenance work in the Encroachment Area within fifteen (15) days notice from City.
