RECOMMENDED ACTION
Because no funding was budgeted in 2011 for this projec~ City staff recommends City Council
approve the a11ached resolution for a trans ier of funds and s~pplemental appropriation to replace
deteriorating light poles on South Santa Fe Drive.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALT~RNATIVES IDENTIFIED
The li ght poles on South Santa Fe Drive we re installed in approximately 1995/1996. Xcel Energy
notifoed the City of Englewood in April, 2011 that the majority of the street light poles along South
Santa Fe Drive were dete ri orating and posed a hazard to the public . Xcel Energy is responsible for
providing maintenance o1 the poles and consequently is liable ior damages that could be caused by
the deteriorating poles . By contract, the individual cities are responsible for the costs of replacing
the poles in their jurisdictions.
The original Xcel Energy estimate to replace the decorative poles with the same product was
approximately $644,000 . Public Works staff, working with Xcel Energy, found a satisfactory
replacement product (galvarnzed steel poles) at a total estimated cost of $127,000.
Public Works recommends replacing the poles in a timely manner to avert possible harm caused by
poles that could fall into the roadway.
