SUBJECT: UTILITY POLE REMOVAL AT SOUTHEASTERLY CORNER OF
MAIN STREET AND NEWPORT AVENUE
RECOMMENDATION:
Pleasure of the City Council.
BACKGROUND:
At a previous City Council meeting staff was directed to request
Southern California Edison Company to provide a cost for the
removal of one utility pole and the undergrounding of one span
of overhead utility wires at the southeasterly corner of Main
Street and Newport Avenue.
As previously indicated, to be eligible for Rule 20A Funds
(Edison Company Funding) a minimum of 600 lineal feet of
overhead utilities needs to be placed underground. This
particular location does not meet the minimum criteria for
Edison Company Funding. If the Council desires to proceed with
this utility undergrounding work, the project will require City
funding.
DISCUSSION:
Edison Company has informed staff that the estimated cost for
undergrounding these facilities would be $18,000. In the event
the City desires to proceed with this utility undergrounding, it
will be necessary for the City Council to authorize a
supplemental 1990-91 budget appropriation in the amount of
$21,600. This amount includes Edison Company's estimate and a
20% contingency factor.
