Receive the City Engineer's Report dated 1/6/88. 2. Conduct the public hearing. 3. Adopt resolution establishing Underground Utility District No. 10 and order the conversion. BACKGROUND: On December 7, 1987, City Council adopted Resolution No. 87-148 which declared its intention to form an underground 'utility district on Newport Avenue between Walnut Avenue and'the Santa Ana Freeway, and on McFadden Avenue between Newport and Walnut Avenues; and set a time and date of public hearing for 7:00 P.M. Monday, January 18, 1988. Ail affected utility companies and property owners have been notified and sent a copy of this resolution. There are three property owners within the district who will require conversion of their utility services from overhead to underground. DISCUSSION: This district will provide for the undergrounding of all overhead telephone, cable T.V. and Edison distribution facilities (12 kV circuit) within its boundaries. In conjunction with the undergrounding of these distribution facilities, the Edison Company will also be rerouting their high voltage (66 kV) transmission lines as detailed in the City Engineers report dated January 6, 1988. This district is located within the South Central Redevelopment Agency. City staff has recommended to the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency that a total of $16,250.00 in Redevelopment Agency funds be budgeted to cover the costs of the additional street lights, conduit, and the three property service conversions associated with this district. ~o]5 Lede~dedker Director Public Works/City Engineer Steve Worrall Assistant Civil Engineer CITy ENGINEER'S REPORT NEWPORT/MCFADDEN AVENUE UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 10 January 6, 1988 At their meeting of DeCember 7, 1987, the City Council of the City of Tustin, California passed and adopted Resolution No. 87-148 calling for a public hearing at 7:00 P.M. on January 18, 1988, to consider the merits of establishing an underground utility district along Newport Avenue between Walnut Avenue and the Santa Ana Freeway, and along McFadden Avenue between Newport Avenue and Walnut Avenue, and more particularly described and shown on Exhibit "A" attached hereto. Meetings have been held with both the Southern California Edison Company and Pacific'Bell to determine costs involved. American Cable Systems has some overhead facilities within the district, but per terms of the City's franchise agreement with American Cable, they will be required to underground these facilities at no cost to the district. Funding will be provided by the Edison Company with Rule 20A funds for their company owned facilities. The City of Tustin or the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency will provide funding for approximately eight additional street lights and 200' ~ of supplementary conduit which are not eligible for Rule 20A funds. The estimated cost of the proposed underground work within the public right-of-way is as follows: Edison Company costs for conduit, Structure, and cable (Rule 20A) $333,800.00 City/RDA costs for additional street lights, and conduit 12,000.00 Three property owners will require conversion of their overhead services to underground facilities. Being as these parcels are located within the South Central Redevelopment Agency, it is recommended that redevelopment agency funds be utilized for the conversions rather than inflicting these costs upon the property owners. The estimated costs for the on-site service conversions are as follows: 17341 McFadden Avenue (A.P. 402-331-16) Residence (1-telephone service) $ 900.00 14081 Newport Avenue (A.P. 402-371-04) Alta-Dena Dairy (1-telephone & 2-electrical) $ 1,950.00 14391 Newport Avenue (A.P. 402-152-04) Gas Station (1-telephone & 1-electrical) $ 1,400.00 NEWPORT/MCFADDEN AVENUE JANUARY 6, 1988 PAGE 2 This. district will provide for the undergrounding of all overhead Edison distribution facilities (12 kV circuit) and related services within the boundaries of the district as described in Exhibit "A". In conjunction with the undergrounding of these distribution facilities, the Edison Company will also be rerouting their high voltage (66 kV) transmission lines. This rerouting will entail the removal of all existing transmission lines, poles, and associated structures along Newport Avenue north of Walnut Avenue and along McFadden Avenue east of Walnut Avenue to Newport Avenue. The new routing for the 66kY transmission line will be along McFadden Avenue west of Walnut, then along Walnut Avenue from McFadden to across Newport Avenue to connect with ~existing transmission facilities on Walnut Avenue east of Newport. -To support these lines, four new tubular steel transmission poles will be installed and located as follows: one pole on the south side of · McFadden 'just west of Walnut, two poles on the northerly side of Walnut Avenue between McFadden and Newport, and one pole on the northerly side of Walnut Avenue, just east of Newport. ~ In summary, this district will provide for the removal of all poles with overhead wires within its boundaries with the exception of the four new tubular steel transmission poles and lines mentioned above. A total of 28 wood utility poles (distribution and transmission) will be removed, including four poles, with existing street lights. There will be 12 new marblelite street light poles installed with .underground wiring and .16,000 lumens high pressure sodium vapor lamps. Initial indications by the utility companies are that their work can be'completed by May 1, 1989. Prepared for the City Engineer by: Steve Worrall Assistant Civil Engineer R.C.E.
