PW / GS AUTHORIZATION TO AMEND THE ANNUAL COMPENSATION FOR STREET LIGHT DAMAGE REPAIR SERVICES DEPT. HEAQh CITYATTY. 6 CITYMGR. - M£ /W W^-i<&•^> RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 2007-141 authorizing the City Manager to amend the Street Light Damage Repair Services agreement with Republic Electric, Inc., to an annual compensation amount not to exceed $250,000. ITEM EXPLANATION: On October 25, 2005, the City Council approved Resolution 2005-318 awarding a contract for Streetlight Damage Repair Services to Republic Electric, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $250,000 in the initial agreement year and an amount not to exceed $100,000 in subsequent agreement years. The contract was bid on a unit price basis for labor related to street light damage and conduit repairs. This includes damage caused by traffic collisions, storm damage, and deterioration due to time and/or weather. It also includes the cost of materials at cost plus up to 15% for overhead. Council authorized a higher contract amount in the initial agreement year to replace 22 streetlights on Carlsbad Boulevard between Pine Avenue and Tamarack Avenue that had deteriorated in condition due to advanced age, the proximity to the ocean, non-coated cement light standards and aluminum construction of the luminaire arms. Subsequently, staff initiated a program to inspect existing streetlights at a number of similar locations and discovered a large number of streetlights in similar condition. Currently, the lights between Tamarack Avenue and Cannon Road require immediate attention. These include both the lights located behind the sidewalk and the double arm poles in the medians. Future work will be in the area west of Carlsbad Boulevard between the north City limits and Pine Avenue and also along Rancho Santa Fe Road between Camino Alvaro/Olivenhain Road and La Costa Avenue. Pole replacement will only occur where required due to damage/deterioration and not due to age. More areas are expected to be identified over time as the inspection program continues. Staff recommends replacing the deteriorated streetlights with modem equipment that utilizes concrete poles treated with an integral corrosion resistant material, replacement of aluminum luminaire arms adjacent to the coast with galvanized steel to insure that future deterioration of City maintained streetlights is minimized. Costs associated with this agreement are expected to exceed the Council authorized limit of $100,000 per agreement year in this and subsequent agreement years due to accelerated deterioration the streetlights in the areas identified through the inspection program. The rate of deterioration of these streetlights has accelerated so that many of these lights pose a serious potential safety hazard. To best mitigate this hazard staff recommends an accelerated replacement program phased over the life of the agreement to insure that this potential hazard is mitigated. FOR CITY CLERKS USE ONLY. COUNCIL ACTION: APPROVED DENIED CONTINUED WITHDRAWN AMENDED D D D D CONTINUED TO DATE SPECIFIC CONTINUED TO DATE UNKNOWN RETURNED TO STAFF OTHER - SEE MINUTES D D D D Page 2 This agreement was bid specifically to establish unit labor costs and all payments are to be made based on actual expenses after staff authorizes and inspects the work performed by Republic Electric. Staff recommends that Council authorize an increase in compensation in this and each subsequent agreement year based on work needed and Council authorization of funds through the budget process. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no design cost associated with this agreement since it covers removal and replacement of existing structures only. It includes no new construction. This agreement was approved with a "not-to- exceed" maximum of $100,000 annually. Due to on-going deterioration city-wide, staff is recommending that this maximum be increased to $250,000 per agreement year. The FY06-07 street lighting maintenance budget includes funding sufficient to cover expenses for this fiscal year. Staff has requested funding in the FY07-08 budget request to cover these additional repairs. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: This project is exempt pursuant to Section 15301- Existing Facilities of the state CEQA guidelines. EXHIBITS: 1.
