AB# 16 \ 37 1 TITLE: APPROVACOF AN AGREEMENT WITH
SDG&E FOR THE RELOCATION OF TRANSMISSION LINES MTG. 9/25/o 1 WITHIN THE CANNON ROAD WEST RIGHT-OF-WAY
DEPT. ENG PROJECT NO. 3184
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. WI- aqv approving an agreement with San Diego Gas and Electric
(SDG&E) for the relocation of a transmission line.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Cannon Road West Reach 2 Segment 2 (Segment 2)‘ which will extend Cannon Road to El Camino
Real, is proposed to start construction in September 2001. The project requires the relocation of a
SDG&E transmission line located within the Segment 2 alignment. Kelly Land Company (KLC) has
been conditioned to construct Segment 2. Segment 2 is funded through Bridge and Thoroughfare District No. 3 (BTD). The BTD funds all improvements required to grade the full roadway right-of-
way.
The Segment 2 project required the relocation or reconstruction of several SDG&E facilities.
Since SDG&E has prior rights over the easements, the City must pay for the relocation costs of the
transmission line. The original fee letters were provided in 1998 and 1999. Detailed information
regarding these facilities is included in the attached Table A.
KLC planned to piggy back the construction of Segment 2 after completing the Segment 1
improvements. However, the California Coastal Commission appealed the tentative map and related
discretionary actions after approval by the City Council. This appeal delayed the construction of the
roadway for several years.
The power pole relocation requires the grading of a pad outside of the right-of-way. This grading is
part of the Kelly Ranch Core project by KLC. In the last few years, costs associated with
constructing the new power pole have escalated. In addition, costs incurred in the construction of
the other facilities exhausted the funds provided to SDG&E previously. The cost estimate to
complete the two-pole structure is $43,686. The City has previously paid SDG&E $231,965 for the
design and relocation or reconstruction of facilities located within the Cannon Road West alignment.
Staff recommends approving the agreement with SDG&E to relocate the power pole.
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 $43,686. Totals costs for the
relocation or reconstruction of all SDG&E facilities are $275,671. The BTD anticipated a cost of
$333,259 for the relocation or reconstruction of all SDG&E facilities. Sufficient funds are available in the project account.

Dear Sherri:
Subject: Cannon Road pole relocations
The purpose of this correspondence is to update the City on the final costs associated with
previous transmission pole relocation work and additional costs associated with remaining work.
The original job (713868-010) cost estimate of $79,629.99 was to relocate two-twin transmission
poles. The design and costs were calculated two years prior to actual construction and not
updated to reflect current costs. The costs actually had increased thus accounting for some of
the discrepancy between the actual and quoted costs.
The first two-pole structure was relocated per plan. However, a change was made to the design
to accommodate additional work around the second two-pole structure. This location would
require “surcharge” or fill, settle & re-compact. Thus postponing the second relocation until
now.
SDG&E has calculated the cost to complete the (713868-040) second two-pole structure at
$43,686.00. See attached note from Allen Sojourner.
There was also 1 steel transmission pole relocation (605166-040) required to accommodate the
improved Cannon Rd. with a cost estimate of $145,477.63. During construction the soil was
found to be unstable thus requiring (605166-060) a field change to add extensive additional
concrete, masonry machinery, labor and cost to complete.
h July 18, 2001
The final costs associated are as follows:

Materials & Labor $50,179.45 145477.63 15,549.41

The balance credit of funds was transferred to the monies due accounts and the balance due
1,735.15 was written off and projects completed in accounting.
If you wish to complete the last pole relocation please enclose a check for the amount of
$43,686.00 in the enclosed envelope. Upon completion of work the City will receive a final
accounting of work completed and will either be billed or credited any differences between the
actual and estimated costs.
Your cost, as cited herein, are subject to change at any time. All cost calculations are based
upon SDG&E’s filed tariffs, SDG&E’s internal costs, and all applicable governmental or
regulatory statutes, regulations, codes and rules. Should any change in, or addition to, those
tariffs, costs, statues, or regulations, codes or rules in any way impact these cost calculations,
you will be subject to any resulting increase or decrease.
After we complete the work, we will determine the actual cost of the job. Should the job cost
more than the estimate you will be billed the difference. If the job is less than the estimate, we
will refund the difference to you. Differences of less than $75.00 will not be billed or refunded.
If I may be of further assistance or if you have any questions, please call me at the number
listed below. Our hours are from 7:00 AM - 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday.

A construction fee is required in order for Transmission Engineering to implement the
construction phase of the proposed project. The following sections describe the
estimated costs (Construction Fee), project scope and schedule for constructing the
project. Transmission Engineering has completed the preliminary engineering and
design to relocate one 2-pole structure.
CONSTRUCTION COSTS:
The estimated construction fee is $43,686.00. This fee will provide for construction of
the project based on the project scope and schedule described below. This cost is in
addition to all previously collected engineering and material fees.
SCOPE:
This project is required to accommodate the city’s proposed grading in our existing
right-of-way along Tie Line 13802. The project requires relocating one 138kV two-pole
structure.
I
SCHEDULE:
The following project schedule is based on the information currently available.
TASK EXPECTED COMPLETION
1. Issue Construction Bid Package Two - Four weeks after receipt of
construction fee.
2. Begin Construction Two - Four weeks after contract
award.
3. Complete Construction Two - Four weeks after start of
construction.
SIX&E will attempt to accommodate the customer’s schedule whenever possible,
contingent on site availability, other wotkloads, material delivery, outage approval by
the Independent System Operator (ISO) and other factors not controlled by SDG&E. In
the event that the scope of the project changes, the schedule and cost will be impacted.
This is an estimate only, the developer will pay Actual Cost Billing. SDG&E will refund
overestimated costs, and will bill the customer for any underestimate.
It is the developer’s responsibility to make arrangement for the relocation of
telecommunication and TV cables.
Please call me at (858) 654-8268 if you have any questions.
