DEPT. H
CITY MGR. a
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. -2-0 23 approving an agreement with San Diego Gas & Electric
(SDG&E) for the relocation of gas and electric facilities in existing Orion Way and approving the
associated Grant of Easement to SDG&E.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Existing Orion Way requires realignment to accommodate the new Public Works Center. Since Orion
Way is not a dedicated right-of-way SDG&E has an existing general easement for their facilities. The
easement covers the entire site of which Orion Way is a part. Therefore, it is the City's responsibility
as the developer of this property to pay certain costs associated with the relocation of SDG&E
facilities.
Staff recommends approval of the attached agreement (Exhibit 3) for relocating SDG&E facilities.
Additionally, a copy of SDG&E's letter (Exhibit 5) indicates their cost for relocating their facilities.
In addition, SDG&E requires new easements providing future access to their relocated facilities and
therefore staff recommends approval of the Grant of Easement to SDG&E.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
The Planning Commission has approved a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project as part of
CUP 01-02.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost to the City for relocation of existing gas and electric facilities is $3,718.00 and $46,371 .OO
respectively. Additionally, as part of the project the City will install electrical conduits for SDG&E the
cost of which, $27,405.00, will subsequently be reimbursed to the City by SDG&E.
Sufficient CFD#l funds are available in the Capital Construction Account for the Public Works
Center, Project No. 3572, to cover the cost of the SDG&E relocations.

Center on the west side of Orion is $46,371 .OO. The cost to relocate the gas is $3,718.00. These
figures both include the ClAC tax since this relocation work is necessary to remove conflicts for your
new building.
The relocation of SDGE's existing underground electric facilities on the east side of Orion will be
done by your contractor, and SDGE will reimburse you with a direct payment of $27,405.00.
