BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Over the past year, Public Works has been working on the design and environmental documents for the Lockeford Street Improvement Project. Since this project is receiving Federal funding, California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) is responsible for the approval of the environmental and preliminary and design documents, which includes utility relocation agreements. As part of the CalTrans approval process, there are a variety of forms and agreements that must be executed related to utility relocations. In order to meet the current project schedule, Staff is now requesting Council authorize the City Manager to execute all documents related to the Lockeford Street Improvement Project utility relocations. The relocations generally include utility poles. While these pole relocations are done at no cost to the project, CalTrans still requires that certain forms and agreements be executed. The CalTrans approval process has taken much longer than anticipated; however, the project remains on schedule to begin construction in the spring of 2019. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact related to this action. FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable. Prepared by Sean Nathan, Senior Civil Engineer CES/SN/tdb APPROVED: ceigd2? Charles E.
