SUB~ECT: UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING
RECOMMENDATION:
It the Redevelopment Agency is desirous of proceeding with the conduit
installation for future undergrounding, a budget appropriation in the amount of
$20,500 will be required.
BACKGROUND:
The developer, Burnett-Ehline, is currently under construction of an office
building on the corner of Holt Ave. and Irvine Blvd. As a condition of approval
of this development, the developer was required to install street lightin9 along
the Irvine Blvd., Holt Ave. and Newport Ave. frontages of the office building and
Don Jose Restaurant.
DISCUSSION:
This street light installation will require the excavation of a trench and
installation of 2 inch diameter conduit. With the long-range plans of eventually
undergrounding the overhead utilities within that area, it is suggested at this
time that the Redevelopment Agency enter into a cooperative project with the
developer and request that he install the necessary conduit for future
undergrounding of the overhead electrical and telephone facilities. Staff has
received price quotes from the developer's contractor in the amount of
$20,471.33. This price provides for conduit installation and sidewalk, replacement
along the frontages of Irvine Blvd., Holt Ave. and Newport Ave.
A logical utility underground district within this immediate area would be as
shown on the attached map and described as follows:
°Irvine Blvd. from Holt Ave. to the easterly side of Newport Ave. ($205,000)
°Holt Ave. from Irvine Blvd. to Newport Ave. ($141,500)
°Newport Ave; from 300± ft. northerly of Bryan Ave. to Wass St. ($510,000)
The developers are waiting for a determination as to whether the Redevelopment
Agency would be interested in participation in the project with the installation
of conduit at this time. If the Agency desires to proceed at this time, a budget
appropriation in the amount of $20,500 will be required.
