BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
At the July 3, 2024, City Council meeting Council awarded the contract for construction of the new animal shelter to Haggerty Construction. As a part of the project, natural gas is required for building heating and water heaters. It is necessary to have PG&E provide gas service to the building gas meter.
The agreement with PG&E (Exhibit A) to provide gas service to the new Animal Shelter includes PG&E installing a new gas main, meter and abandoning an existing service to the east end of the parcel at the cost of $171,664.01. The agreement must be signed and the cost for PG&E to install the improvements must be paid prior to PG&E performing any work. Due to the anticipated Animal Shelter completion in March of 2026, we need to get the PG&E agreement executed so the gas service is installed in time for the necessary equipment testing and operation to be ready for opening.
Staff recommends authorizing the Public Works Director to sign the agreement with PG&E to provide Natural Gas Service to the new Animal Shelter to meet the construction schedule.
STRATEGIC VISION:
5C. Infrastructure: Address deferred maintenance.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This work must be completed to facilitate shelter operations.
FUNDING AVAILABLE:
There is funding available within the current project budget appropriation to cover these costs.
