BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
On June 18, 2019, the City Council approved a construction contract for the Western
Avenue Corridor ALPR Project Phase 1 with Southern California Electrical Firm
(Attachment A). Construction began in July 2019. The scope of work for Phase 1 is to
1
install five new streetlight poles along Western Avenue in the Eastview area of the City
and attach 10 cameras to these new poles (two cameras per pole).
During the course of construction, it was determined that the source of power for one of
the poles had to be provided from a Southern California Edison (SCE) pedestal across
the street instead of one on the same side of the street, as shown on the drawings.
This will require additional trenching, additional conduit, and trench repair.
Installation of the remaining four poles of Phase 1 is in progress.

for a claim of lien,City may withhold from any payment due,without liability for interest because of
