Equipment Company in Norwalk, California for the Conduit and Cable Replacement on Bolivar Street Project, in the amount of $71,748.16; and 2. Approve Work Order No. 1823108 in the amount of $107,000. BACKGROUND: Existing primary cable -in -conduit along Bolivar Street and Kipling Court must be replaced with new conduit and cable due to cable failure in the distribution system. Electric field crews restored electric service to the area by switching to an alternate temporary source in the vicinity. Installation of new conduit and cable is required to restore the electrical distribution system to its normal operating configuration. This project will replace existing aging infrastructure with new conduit and underground electrical distribution facilities to improve system reliability and safety, improve power quality and service to customer in the area, and replace aging infrastructure that's beyond its useful life. Replacement of deteriorated cables and related underground distribution facilities is identified as part of the Utility 2.0 Electric Infrastructure Road Map. DISCUSSION: The project will upgrade electric distribution facilities on Kipling Court and Bolivar Street, south of Pecan Place. The scope of work includes the installation of approximately 284 trench feet of conduit, 304 linear feet of new underground primary cable, and related electrical distribution facilities, as well as street paving and concrete repairs. The scope of work also includes the removal of 304 linear feet of deteriorated primary cable. Intermittent electric service disruptions will be coordinated during construction and advanced outage notifications will be issued to minimize the impact on customers.
