TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
VIA: SERGIO GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
FROM: MATT MARQUEZ, ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
DATE: FEBRUARY 4, 2019
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO SOLICIT BIDS FOR PROJECT ED2018 - BUS CHARGER
FOR THE RELOCATION OF THE FOOTHILL TRANSIT MAIN SWITCHGEAR
BACKGROUND:
At the November 5, 2018 City Council Meeting a Memorandum of Understanding was approved with
Foothill Transit for the relocation of their service utility box along the busway adjacent to the A-2
Mixed-Use Development Project. Additionally, there is a second utility box owned by Azusa Light &
Water that also needs to be relocated along with the Foothill Transit utility box. These two (2) utility
boxes are between the public right-of-way and the project property line, which currently impede the
project development. The proposed actions authorize Staff to solicit bids to relocate the Utility Boxes
along the Foothill Transit Busway.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:
1) Approve the ED2018-Bus Charger project plans and specifications; and
2) Authorize advertisement and solicitation of bids for the ED2018-Bus Charger Project.
ANALYSIS:
Staff has developed a relocation plan and specifications to relocate the two (2) utility boxes from their
current location to the new location on the south side of the Busway and remove Utility Box (4), as
shown in Attachment 1. The scope of work for this relocation entails the installation of underground
conduits, pull-boxes, concrete foundations, and the restoration of landscaping impacted during
construction.
