DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Two large utility projects have come to the attention of Transportation. The first is a Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) fire safety project which will place overhead electrical infrastructure underground along a portion of Sly Park Road between Pollock Pines and Pleasant Valley.

Transportation's in-house encroachment permit staff is more than fully tasked with dozens of other active permits for utility work between Pollock Pines and El Dorado Hills that require daytime and night time inspection, and will rely on this contract for inspection services for these large projects. It is estimated that the cost of these inspection services is approximately $450,000.
