TO: WILLIAM HUSTON, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
TUSTIN COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION
SUBJECT: UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING AT THE "B" STREET/SIXTH STREET
INTERSECTION
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency authorize a supplemental 1989-
90 budget appropriation in the amount of $12,000.00 for the undergrounding
of Pacific Bell overhead telephone facilities across Sixth Street at the "B"
Street intersection.
BACKGROUND:
At the March 5, 1990 City Council meeting, the Council authorized the under -
grounding of all overhead utilities across Sixth Street at the "B" Street
_intersection. The estimated cost for this undergrounding was $35,000.00 for
'1 affected utilities based upon the undergrounding of both electrical and
,lephone facilities utilizing the Rule 20A procedures. Under Rule 20A
procedures, a minimum of 600 lineal feet of Edison Company facilities must
be undergrounded.
On March 5th, the City Council authorized the utility undergrounding project
be funded with Town Center Redevelopment Agency monies and requested staff
to return with a confirming action to the March 19, 1990 Redevelopment Agency
meeting.
DISCUSSION:
Since the undergrounding project would not be funded by Rule 20A monies, it
is suggested that the scope of the project be reduced to underground only the
telephone company facilities in an amount of $12,000.00 as outlined in Mr.
Thompson's letter. Mr. Thompson's letter did not indicate the need to under-
ground the electrical utilities.
