Document Description
The proposed Project would involve the replacement of the existing mortar wall on the north side of Station A with a standing fence structure. The first phase would involve the removal of the existing security devices on the north wall and demolition of th existing Station A north wall, along with the two north gates. The wall and the gates are approximately 115 feet and 9 inches wide and approximately 6 feet high. The first phase is expected to last two to three days. During phase two, the wall and gates would be replaced by a new 6 foot tall fence with three gate openings of 25 to 30 ft. Some grading would be required during phase two involving a backhoe, two heavy duty one ton construction trucks and a 185 compressor. The construction of phase two would last about three to four days.
The purpose of the proposed project is to provide security to the Substation A facility while maintaining ingress and egress into the site. By adding an extra gate, the proposed project would improve ingress and egress and meet SMUDS's identified Board Policy Goal SD-6, which aims to create a safe environment for employees and customers. Implementation of the proposed project would benefit SMUD employees and individuals within the SMUD service area downtown.
