CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For Council Meeting of October 4, 1994 TO: Honorable Mayor, City Council, and City Manager FROM: Thomas K. Clarke, Electric Utility Director DATE 09/26194 SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE ELECTRIC UTILITY DIRECTOR TO ENTER INTO AN ADDED FACILITIES AGREEMENT WITH SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY FOR THIRD 66KV BREAKER AT THE COLTON SUBSTATION BACKGROUND Presently, Southern California Edison Company (SCE) has been providing the electric service to the City of Colton at 66KV with separate breakers for each circuit. These two breakers are adequate to meet present load demand including the ,proposed county hospital load. The city's electric system has been growing and in the next five years it is expected that the city's electric load demand will require the addition of another breaker to provide adequate system reliability. To provide adequate reliability for a new county hospital, as well as for the city's entire electric system, the Electric Department entered into negotiations with SCE to provide the breaker at their Colton substation. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Department staff have been designing a new substation and transmission line in consideration of the projected load. The city's expected load growth by the years 1998-2000 will require an additional breaker to provide adequate system reliability. Staff, along with its consultant, Black & Veatch, evaluated the present economics and circumstances vs. five years from now, and reached the conclusion that SCE should install a third breaker now. SCE has agreed with the City to provide, install, and maintain the third 66KV breaker at the Colton substation per aided facilities under an integrated operations agreement. ALTERNATIVES None.
