Per the City’s franchise agreement with Idaho Power, when requested to relocate, the City has the option to pay the additional cost of undergrounding overhead utilities. This agenda bill presents the construction agreement with Idaho Power to effectuate the relocation project and reimburse Idaho Power $128,695 for the City’s preference to relocate the overhead utilities underground, upon project completion (see attached agreement and site plans). The attached agreement was received on 6/1/22 and is considered DRAFT as the City Attorney is finalizing their review of the agreement language. Staff will provide the final agreement to the Council at the meeting. Approving the agreement in early June will allow Idaho Power to complete the construction work in a timely manner and progress to other City initiated relocation/undergrounding projects throughout the City without further delay.  RECOMMENDED ACTION: Execute the Construction Agreement with Idaho Power for the SH-55 utility relocation project; authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents; and authorize staff to manage change orders up to 10% over the original contract amount.
