TITLE- -* APPROVAL OF AN AGREEMENT WITH
SDG&E FOR THE RELOCATION OF TRANSMISSION LINES
WITHIN THE CANNON ROAD WEST RIGHT-OF-WAY
PROJECT NO. 3184
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
MGRa CITY
Adopt Resolution No. ?? /JY approving an agreement with San Diego Gas and Electric
(SDG&E) for the relocation of transmission lines.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Cannon Road West plans and specifications are complete. The project requires the relocation of
two SDG&E transmission line facilities located within Reach 2 to vertically clear the proposed
road improvements, To facilitate the grading of the road and the construction of the facility, staff is
recommending that it is best to construct the new transmission facilities prior to the grading of the
Cannon Road West Reach 2 right-of-way. Since SDG&E has prior rights over the easements,
the City must pay for the relocation costs of the transmission line. The City has previously paid
SDG&E $10,000 for the design of the relocation of the transmission facilities.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The Planning Director has determined that the requested action is consistent with prior CEQA review. The project was reviewed in the Cannon Road Reach 1 Environmental Impact Report,
the Kelly Ranch Environmental Impact Report and the Mitigated Negative Declaration for
Reach 2. Significant environmental impacts identified by those CEQA documents were
determined to be mitigable to levels of less than significant. Permits from the resource agencies have been received.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated cost for the relocation of the two-pole structure is $79,200. Of that total, $10,000
was previously paid for design. Sufficient funds are available in the project account.

AGREEMENT FOR TRANSMISSION LINE RELOCATION
CANNON ROAD WEST REACH 2
PROJECT NO. 3184
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this 1st day of
June , 1999, by and between the City of Carlsbad, a
municipal corporation, hereinafter referred to as “City” and San Diego Gas and Electric
Company, hereinafter referred to as “SDG&E”, regarding the following facts:
WHEREAS, City is directing as a public works project, certain road
improvements for Cannon Road West Reach 2; and
WHEREAS, SDG&E has existing transmission facilities, being two (2) two-pole
structures, within the Cannon Road right-of-way; and
WHEREAS, an element of the Improvements is the Relocation of the two (2) two-
pole structures; and
WHEREAS, City has requested SDG&E conduct this Relocation incident to the
Improvements; and
WHEREAS, because said Relocation is to be accomplished within an area of
Prior Rights and not within an area subject of the franchise, City will be responsible for
all costs associated therewith; and
WHEREAS, City will agree to pay for the Relocation, and
WHEREAS, SDG&E will agree to effect the Relocation pursuant to the City’s
request; and
WHEREAS, the estimated cost of the Relocation portion of the public works
Improvement is more than $25,000 and, therefore, the Approval of the City Council is
required.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, for other valuable
consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, CITY and SDG&E agree as
follows:
1
1. JF ion
a. Specifications. SDG&E shall relocate the two (2) two-pole structures
and complete associated line work pursuant to the plans and specifications as
set for in SDG&E Work Order No. 2551540.
b. Timing of Work. CITY, by and through its Engineering Department, is
coordinating the Improvements. SDG&E estimates that the Relocation will
require approximately forty (40) working days after the execution of this
agreement to complete, and SDG&E will utilize its best efforts to so complete the
Relocation; provided, however, CITY and SDG&E acknowledge and agree that
certain events and occurrences can disrupt the contemplated schedule,including,
but not limited to, the requirement or need not to otherwise curtail the electric
supply throughout the SDG&E service territory, timely approval by the CA IS0 for
the associated line outage, weather, work stoppages or the discovery of
unforeseen conditions in the field which cause revisions or modifications to the
plans for the Relocation and/or Improvements. SDG&E will commence the
Relocation within a reasonable time after notification from the CITY that CITY is
read to have Relocation portion of the Improvements begun and will diligently
pursue the completion of the work.
c. Payment. SDG&E has estimated the cost of the Relocation to be
$79,200, which estimate includes contractor’s charges, equipment and materials,
SDG&E personnel and employee labor and engineering charges including labor
additives. CITY has previously paid, and SDG&E acknowledges receipt of
$10,000 as a deposit on said RELOCATION design charges-
Prior to the commencement of the Relocation, CITY SHALL PAY TO SDG&E

Upon completion of the Relocation, SDG&E shall, consistent with past practices
between CITY and SDG&E for the payment of utility Relocation charges, provide CITY

complete the Relocation. If the costs for the Relocation are less than the estimated
charges, SDG&E shall remit to the CITY, together with the accounting, SDG&E’s check
payable to CITY for the difference. If the costs of the Relocation are more than the
estimated charges, the accounting so provided shall be deemed an additional invoice
from SDG&E to CITY, and CITY shall remit to SDG&E the balance due within thirty (30)
days of the CITY’s receipt of the accounting/invoice. SDG&E represents to CITY that as
a matter of practice, SDG&E maintains records which adequately and accurately shows
the actual costs which are contemplated to be incurred for this Relocation for a period of
three (3) years following completion of the Relocation.
2. Responsibility for Relocation

CITY, its officers, employees and agents, from and against any and all loss, cost,
damage, expense, claim, suit, demand or liability to person or property, including
attorney’s fees, arising from or relating to any negligence by SDG&E, its officers,
employees or agents in the performance of the Relocation. Affirmation of SDG&E Prior

to and including the date of the termination, including any cancellation or penalty
charges which SDG&E may incur from any of its contractors or subcontractors. Upon
receipt of notice of termination, CITY and SDG&E shall implement the accounting and
payment adjustment procedures described in paragraph 1 0 hereof.
