REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND:
The Public Works Department commissioned a study in 2002 entitled, "Acquisition of Pacific Gas and Electric
(PG&E) Streetlights Feasibility Study Phase I" (Study). The Study revealed that the County could provide better
customer service with faster response times at a lower cost than that which is currently being provided by PG&E.
As part of the Study,the County's consultant conducted interviews with several agencies that have already formed
partnerships with other agencies to maintain the acquired streetlights. It was concluded that implementing this
strategy would be beneficial to Contra Costa County.
On December 6,2005, the Board approved a contract with Harris and Associates to provide services related to the
acquisition and maintenance of streetlights.Countywide. Customer service has been greatly improved and new
programs and improvements requiring further maintenance and assistance are being developed.
This contract amendment is required to complete the efforts to improve services related to streetlight acquisition
and maintenance.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without Board of Supervisorsapproval, customer service response time and program administration will be
delayed.
