MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Scott Curtin, Director of Public Works
DATE: November 7, 2022
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3322-2022 - Costs in Excess of Budgeted Amounts for
Public Works Street Lighting Repairs and Maintenance
The purpose of this memo is to request Council's approval to provide supplemental funding to the
Street Lighting operational budget. The annual FY23 budget as adopted by Council provided
$28,000 in available funding to start the year.
The Public Works Department contracts annually for Street Light Maintenance and Locate
services, with Kachemack Electric being the current service provider. The service agreement
provides the following unit prices: $103.50/locate, $127.00/light for assessment, $127.00/light for
minor repairs, $255.75/line break labor only. Materials and equipment purchased in support of
the work are payable at actual suppliers invoice plus 20% for OH&P.
Through the end of the first quarter the department has processed approximately 125 Utility locate
requests costing roughly $13,000 and has assessed 47 street lights with approximately 6 requiring
additional parts / labor at a rough total cost of $10,000.
The supplemental funding being requested is intended to cover expenses through the remainder
of the fiscal year. Utility locate costs are expected to slowdown through the winter months picking
back up in April, May, June. The additional funding will allow the department to continue with
some of the more expensive and extensive repairs to ensure the lighting remains operational for
years to come.
Council's support is respectfully requested
