<br />REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br /> <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br /> <br />MAY 21, 2007 <br /> <br />TITLE: <br /> <br />PAYMENT TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA <br />GAS COMPANY FOR GAS LINE <br />RELOCATION ON MAIN STREET NORTH <br />OF BROADWAY PLACE (PROJECT 07- <br />8051) <br /> <br />APPROVED <br /> <br />D As Recommended <br />D As Amended <br />D Ordinance on 1" Reading <br />D Ordinance on 2'" Reading <br />D Implementing Resolution <br />D Set Public Hearing For <br /> <br />~~.~ <br /> <br />VRECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> <br />CONTINUED TO <br /> <br />FILE NUMBER <br /> <br />Authorize a payment to Southern California Gas Company in the amount <br />of $75,540 for the relocation of a 3-inch gas main line located below <br />the westerly Main Street sidewalk just north of Broadway Place. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />On October 2, 2006, the City Council awarded a contract to LNI Custom <br />Manufacturing, Inc. for the fabrication and installation of the new <br />87-foot wide Main Street archway sign. To accommodate the proposed <br />sign post footing location, the interfering underground gas line <br />needed to be relocated into the street by Southern California Gas <br />Company (Exhibit 1). <br /> <br />Based on the City's franchise agreement, Southern California Gas <br />Company is not responsible for the relocation cost of the gas line <br />since the scope of work for the Main Street Archway Sign project is <br />not a change of grade, alignment or width of a public street. The <br />City, therefore, is responsible for the cost of relocating the gas <br />line. The cost requested by Southern California Gas Company is <br />reasonable and in line with Public Works Agency staff's estimate. <br /> <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br /> <br />An Environmental Review (No. 2006-020) has been completed and a <br />Categorical Exemption has been filed for the project pursuant to the <br />California Environmental Quality Act. <br /> <br />29A-1 <br />
