----------------------------------------�___ ------------------------
WHEREAS, Lodi Electric Utility's (LEU) Killelea Substation provides electricity to residents
and businesses located in the central portion of the City and has protective relays that are
approaching end of useful life; and
WHEREAS, the City has four substations with end -of -life or soon-to-be end -of -life
protective relays that are in need of replacement; and
WHEREAS, industry practice is to consistently test and maintain equipment until end -of -
life occurs, where replacement is imminent; and
WHEREAS, Industrial Substation 60kV protective relays are slated to be replaced in 2023
due to similar issues that Killelea Substation protective relays are experiencing; and
WHEREAS, LEU is standardizing all protective relays for all substations to increase
training and operational efficiencies, backup device ordering and inventory stocking, and provide
familiarity for troubleshooting; and
WHEREAS, while work at Killelea Substation was originally anticipated to be completed a
few years out, staff feel it is important to complete the work sooner as avoiding replacement will
result in equipment and public safety concerns as well as prolonged outages; and
WHEREAS, staff is recommending to appropriate funds in the amount of $200,000 from
Fund 501 to Account No. 50199000.77020 for said project (EUCP-22005).
