Information

Referral History:

The Transportation, Water and Infrastructure Committee (TWIC) accepted the 2020 status report regarding the coordination between Cities (Countywide) and PG&E on October 12, 2020. A supplemental report was presented on December, 2020.

Referral Update:

The TWIC requested that Public Works management report annually on the status of street light maintenance coordination efforts with PG&E. Management last reported to the TWIC on October 12, 2020, regarding this item.

Background:

The Letter of Understanding (LOU) dated February 2008, between PG&E and the County, states the commitment of PG&E for open communication, responsive service levels, and actions in resolving issues related to street light performance.

Over the past two years, Public Works management has worked with PG&E management to revise the LOU to address current service levels.

At this time, Public Works staff is pleased to report that a signed LOU has been received from PG&E. Both Contra Costa County and PG&E will be monitoring service levels provided by PG&E and are prepared to reassess the LOU on a bi-annual basis and revise as needed.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

RECEIVE and COMMENT on the status report on the street light service coordination effort between PG&E and the County Public Works Department and Cities for street light maintenance.

Fiscal Impact (if any):

None. All costs for street lights are funded by County Service Area L-100 and Community Facility District 2010-1.
