Change Order# 3. includes the construction costs for these elements of the project.
The City typically contracts with ONCOR to install the street light poles, wiring and power
for street Fights on our City projects. Since this project is funded with City and Federal
funds, the street Fights have to be designed and constructed in compliance with Federal
and TxDOT standards which are not consistent with ONCOR's standards.
Our consultant is currently preparing the construction plans for these street lights to comply
with the required standards.
An additional change order will follow for the installation of the wire, setting the street light
poles and providing power for the street lights in compliance with Federal and TxDOT
standards:
Staff recommends approval.
