THE CITY OF <br />-••'~~°•'° °°'~"'~ CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT <br />~ NTON~ <br />April 7, 2009 <br />Community Development <br />Engineering Division <br />TITLE: CONSIDERATION OF THE REINSTALLTION OF 18 STREET LIGHTS ON <br />FOOTHILL ROAD ADJACENT TO THE GOLDEN EAGLE DEVELOPMENT <br />SUMMARY <br />The City was recently approached by representatives of the Golden Eagle Luxury <br />Homeowners' Association about reinstalling eighteen street lights on the east side of <br />Foothill Road across the frontage of their development. Golden Eagle is a housing <br />development located on both sides of Foothill Road between Long View Drive and Oak <br />Manor Court. The street lights were originally installed as part of the development <br />improvements, and later removed at the request of residents who felt the lights did not <br />conform to the rural character of Foothill Road. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that Council take the following actions: <br />1. Approve the reinstallation of street lights on Foothill Road along the frontage of <br />the Golden Eagle development. <br />2. Approve entering into a contract with Vista Universal Inc. for the installation of the <br />subject street lights in the amount of $39,348 and authorize execution of the <br />contract by the City Manager. <br />3. Authorize the City Engineer to approve and execute contract change orders up to <br />a total amount of $5,902 (15% of the contract price). <br />FINANCIAL STATEMENT <br />There currently is an unencumbered balance of $103,637 within the street light <br />replacement fund for the 2008/09 fiscal year. Additionally, there will be a nominal <br />increase in the PG&E monthly invoice and street light maintenance contract for the <br />extra street lights. <br />
