SUBJECT:
Agreement for On-Call Street Light Maintenance
Report by: Public Works Director Lee Thompson

RECOMMENDATION:~doPt resolution appr?ving agreement
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
The total cost of street lighting maintenance under this agreement
is not to exceed $5,000 for Fiscal Year 1993-94. Funds have
been budgeted in the Signals and Lighting Operating Budget for
this purpose. The cost is paid by the Street Lighting Maintenance
Assessment District.
DESCRIPI'ION: The City owns 410 of the 1,765 street lights within the City of
Dublin; PG&E owns 1,352 of the lights, and the remaining three are owned by Caltrans. PG&E bills
the City a monthly rate for each street light which includes energy and specific maintenance and repair
items. Under this rate schedule, PG&E is responsible for all repairs and maintenance to PG&E-
owned lights. These are primarily the residential neighborhood lights and some of the older arterial
lights that were installed prior to Dublin's incorporation.
The rate paid to PG&E for the City-owned lights (arterial lights which were installed as part of City
capital projects) includes energy cost and maintenance of bulbs, photocells and glassware (lenses)
only, plus periodic painting of the street light poles. The City is responsible for all other maintenance
and repairs to these lights. Examples of repairs which may be needed are replacement of fuses or
breakers, replacement of ballasts, replacement of heads, or wiring repairs. The proposed contract
with Z Electric provides for this type of repair.
The cost of knockdown repairs is typically $2,000 to $2,500 per light; Staff proposes to obtain prices
and issue separate purchase orders for any knockdown repairs that become necessary.
Since the total cost of this contract is proposed to be under $5,000 for the current fiscal year, a formal
bid was not required. Staff contacted three firms who are in the business of street-type electrical
maintenance and repair. Z Electric provided the lowest hourly rate for performing the service. Staff
is familiar with Z Electric's work, as they have served as a subcontractor to MCE Corporation for
repairs and maintenance to other electrical systems in the City's parks and buildings. Z Electric's
work has been competent and timely.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution and authorize the Mayor to execute the
agreement.
