File Number: 25-390 (including advanced detection features), and Accessible Pedestrian Signals. Also included is the construction of new curb ramps to meet current accessibility standards. During construction, PG&E identified the need to relocate the traffic signal electrical meter closer to the electrical point of connection. This directive was based on PG&E’s concerns about potential power theft when pull boxes are located between PG&E’s power source and the City’s electrical meter. As a result, the City’s electrical meter cabinet had to be relocated approximately 600 feet closer to PG&E’s power source. Analysis The unanticipated requirement to relocate the City’s electrical cabinet closer to PG&E’s power source will require a change order in the amount of $234,320, which is 35% of the original contract. This exceeds the City Manager’s five percent (5%) authorization limit for individual change orders and therefore requires City Council approval. Approval of this change order would bring the cumulative amount of project change orders to 43%, which equals the revised cumulative change order limit of 43% approved by City Council on July 21, 2025 (Resolution No. 2023-050). The currently executed cumulative change orders total 8%; with this approval, the total would reach the full authorization limit of 43%. No additional change orders are anticipated to complete the project. Because PG&E informed the City of the requirement to relocate the electrical cabinet during construction, the associated costs could not have been anticipated. Approval of this change order would allow staff to process payments for the high-cost items associated with the relocation of the electrical service; specifically, conduit installation between the new electrical point of connection and the traffic signal electrical meter. The project budget includes sufficient funds for the recommended change order.
