City Council

10. Letter Agreement with Southern California Edison Company\nRecommendation:\nA. Find that the proposed action is categorically exempt from California Environmental\nQuality Act (CEQA) review, because the work being approved by this Letter Agreement\n(Phase 1) consists of engineering and materials procurement that will not result in direct or\nindirect physical changes in the environment, and therefore does not constitute a “project” as\ndefined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. Upon completion of Phase 1, a separate Letter\nAgreement will be presented to City Council for the construction portion of this project\n(Phase 2);\nB. Approve and authorize the City Administrator to execute a Letter Agreement with\nSouthern California Edison Company (SCE), in substantially the same form as submitted, for\nSCE to perform required engineering and procurement work related to Interconnection\nFacilities, Distribution Upgrades, and Network Upgrades, in an amount not-to-exceed\n$14,024,895; and\nC. Authorize a contingency amount of five percent (5%) or $701,245 for unforeseen changes\nin fees or other expenses not included in the proposal, and grant authority to the City\nAdministrator to issue change orders for an amount up to the contingency amount, if\nnecessary.
