RECOMMENDATION:
For the City Council meeting of May 19, 1986. Pleasure of the City Council.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council requested staff to study the feasibility and cost of installing
marbelite street.lighting standards with underground electrical feed along West
Main Street between "C" Street and Pasadena Avenue (extended). It was the intent
to prepare a cost estimate to correlate with each of the three phases of the Main
Street Reconstruction Project to be funded under the Orange County Unified
Tranportation Trust (OCUTT) Program, so that the City Council could consider
including the upgrading of the street lighting system as a part of the street
reconstruction project. OCUTT funding cannot be utilized for street lighting
installations.
DISCUSSION:
A preliminary estimate of cost was prepared for each of the following phases of
street reconstruction:
Phase I - From the centerline of "C" Street to the centerline of "A" Street.
Phase II - From the centerline of "A" Street to the centerline of Pacific
Street {south}.
Phase III - From the centerline of Pacific Street {south) to fifty feet
westerly of Myrtle Avenue.
These cost estimates include the installation of marbelite street light standards,
16,000 lumen high pressure sodium vapor (H.P.S.V.) luminaires and underground
electrical feed and, are as follows:
Phase I - $10,350
Phase II - $10,340
Phase III - $16,725
Phase I will require three new marbelite street lights and will retire two
existing street lights on wood utility poles. The energy cost for the additional
light would be billed to the City on a monthly basis at an annual cost of $142.56
(1985 dollars).

Phase II will require four new marbelite street lights and will retire two
existing street lights on wood utility poles. The energy cost for the two
additional lights would be billed to the City on a monthly, basis at an annual cost
of $285.12 (1985 dollars).
Phase III will require no new street lights and will result in no additional
energy charges being billed to the City.
OCUTT funding for Phase I and Phase II has been approved by the Orange County
Transportation Commission (OCTC) and will be available for construction in 1986-87
if the City desires to accelerate the project. Any acceleration of the project by
the City would be dependent upon the City's matching share 50% being available.
The City's matching share is proposed as follows:
1986-87 $159,000 (Phase I)
1987-88 $ 92,000 (Phase I)
It is made up of Senate Bill 300 gas tax monies in the amount of $230,000 and
regular gasoline tax revenues in the amount of $21,000 for a total amount of
$251,ooo.
