title
Request for approval to execute a Service Outlet Location Statement for installation of an electric meter with CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, LLC and authorize the County Auditor to pay monthly bills for 814 College Avenue, South Houston, Texas 77587 for electrical power serving a traffic signal, UPIN 24035MF34Z01, Precinct 2.

Background and Discussion:
Re-building the traffic signal at the intersection of College Avenue at Main Street is a project that aims to improve the operation of the intersection and better facilitate pedestrian activities. The service outlet location statement is needed to establish electrical service from CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, LLC to power the traffic signal.
Expected Impact:
Approval of the service outlet location statement will allow CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, LLC to provide electrical service to the traffic signal, which is needed to enhance operations at the intersection of College Avenue at Main Street.
Alternative Options:
All traffic signals require a power source, which is typically obtained through CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, LLC. Alternative options are to place a generator, which is not reliable, or to not upgrade the traffic signals at the intersection. Both options will negatively impact operations and increase delay of the intersection.
