TITLE: Approval of On -Call Repair Services Agreement with International Line Builders for
On -Call Streetlight Repairs
ABSTRACT:
The City utilizes an on -call contractor to provide streetlight repairs beyond regular maintenance, including
emergency pole knockdowns and circuit outages. A Request for Proposal was issued to obtain proposals
for this service.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an on -call repair services agreement with International Line Builders, Inc. for streetlight repair
services, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the agreement.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
The current adopted budget includes sufficient funding for this purchase.
DISCUSSION:
The City has approximately 6,000 streetlights that range from 240 to 5,000 volts which occasionally require
as- needed repairs or replacement. The City utilizes a contractor that can quickly handle the high - voltage
electrical equipment, such as service cabinets, circuits and streetlight poles. This contractor will also be the
primary responder to emergency streetlight pole knock -downs for the Police Department which includes
removing streetlight debris, de- energizing circuits and making the area safe until the streetlight can be
repaired or replaced. Additionally the contractor may be required to replace circuitry, streetlights, and
service cabinets on an as- needed basis.
A Request for Proposal was released to the public in March 17, 2015, and a total of three proposals were
received and subsequently evaluated by a selection panel on the basis of qualifications, availability,
experience, understanding of the services and operational methodology. Due to the immediate need for on-
call streetlight repair service in emergency situations, a contractor's ability to deploy services is a large
priority

Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act
( "CEQA ") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable
indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in
Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it
has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at
which the City Council considers the item).
