W A T E R E N E R G Y L I F F <br /> L3W& RIVERSIDE PUBLIC UTILITIES <br /> Board Memorandum <br /> PUBLIC UTILITIES <br /> BOARD OF PUBLIC UTILITIES DATE: December 6, 2013 <br /> ITEM NO: 5 <br /> SUBJECT: STREET LIGHT POLE ATTACHMENT AND ELECTRICAL POWER AGREEMENT <br /> BETWEEN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY AND THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE <br /> ISSUE: <br /> The item for Board of Public Utilities consideration is approval of the Street Light Pole Attachment and <br /> Electrical Power Agreement with the Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas). The Agreement will <br /> grant SoCalGas access to certain City facilities and electric power required for use of their wireless meter <br /> reading network. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> That the Board of Public Utilities recommend the City Council approve the Street Light Pole Attachment and <br /> Electrical Power Agreement with the Southern California Gas Company. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> The SoCalGas Advanced Meter Infrastructure(AMI) project includes the proposed installation of equipment <br /> on 34 existing concrete street light poles in the City of Riverside(Attachment 1). The purpose of the project is <br /> to enable SoCalGas to read their meters through a wireless network across southern California. SoCalGas <br /> requested a 20-year agreement with the City of Riverside granting SoCalGas, its contractors and <br /> subcontractors, the right to attach wireless radio network equipment to the 34 approved locations, and to <br /> provide electric power for their network devices. City staff worked with SoCalGas to identify suitable locations <br /> to complete their network with minimal impact to the street lighting system. <br /> In addition to the physical attachment of wireless radios, SoCalGas requested unmetered electric services at <br /> each location. The estimated energy usage for the 34 sites is$300 annually. The City of Riverside has no <br /> work associated with this installation. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT: <br /> Upon execution of the Agreement, SoCalGas will pay$39,900 for the pole attachments and energy usage for <br /> the full 20-year term. Energy charges will credit Electric Account No. 0000510-344265, and the pole <br /> attachment fee will credit Electric Account No. 0000510-373125. <br /> Prepared by: Kevin S.
