BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the City Council meeting of June 6, 2001, the City Council awarded the contract for installation of 98 streetlights to Tim Paxin's Pacific Excavation in the amount of $ 367,221.00. Subsequent to this award the Department has learned that an existing street lighting system on Avena Avenue in the vicinity of Pine Street has deteriorated to a point where repairs are required at this time. The existing system does not meet the current lighting specifications relating to spacing and some lights are missing, i.e. were never installed. Likewise, lights do not exist on Pine Street in this area. The missing lights on both Avena Avenue and Pine Street are scheduled to be installed on a future phase of this project. However, since a condition exists with the present lights that require work at this time, it is recommended that this area be lighted as a part of the Phase II contract. The Contractor for the Phase II project has agreed to include the above area in the contract under the same terms and conditions. This addendum also includes minor modifications to the lighting system at Eden and Washington Streets. Deferring this work for inclusion with the next phase (Phase III) is not recommended. Phase III is currently in the initial stage of design with construction estimated to begin in early 2002. The deteriorated system on Avena Avenue would require work now, work that would be eliminated when Phase III lights the entire area. FUNDING: $37,949.25 - Available within Business Unit #161672, Streetlight Completion Project. Funding Approval: Vicky McAthie Finance Director Alan N.
