UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT 03-01
(Rule 20B Distribution and Transmission)
November, 2003
At their meeting of October 20, 2003, the City Council of the City of Tustin, California passed
and adopted Resolution No. 03-91 calling for a public hearing at 7:00 p.m. on November 17,
2003, to consider the merits of establishing an underground utility district. The area of the
District is generally described as the area bounded by Edinger Avenue on the north, the
Burlington Northern and Santa Fe railroad spur line east of Del Amo Avenue on the east,
Valencia Avenue on the south, and State Route 55 on the west, more particularly described and
shown on Exhibit "A" attached hereto.
City of Tustin Ordinance 411 (Tustin City Code, Section 7500{}) authorizes the City Council to
call Public Hearings to ascertain whether the public necessity, health, safety, or welfare requires
the removal of poles, overhead wires, etc., within certain designated areas of the City and to
consider the underground installation of the above-mentioned appurtenances for supplying
electric, communication, and other similar services. This project will also consist of the
installation of new marbelite street light poles and luminaires. At the September 18, 2000 City
Council meeting, the project to underground the existing overhead facilities on Edinger Avenue,
between State Route 55 and approximately 1,000 feet southeast of Del Arno Avenue, and on
Del Arno Avenue, between Edinger Avenue and Valencia Avenue was added to {he City's
Public Utility Commission (PUC) Rule 20A project list and established as the first priority project.
The existing overhead facilities within these limits consist of both distribution lines and
transmission lines. Rule 20A funds currently available from Southern California Edison are
sufficient to fund only a portion of the underground costs for the transmission facilities, which is
funded through District 03-02. The remaining transmission facilities and all distribution facilities
will be funded with Rule 20B funds, as a part of District 03-01.
Ordinance No. 411 also requires the City to notify all affected property owners and all
concerned utilities by mail of the time and place of said hearings at least ten (10) days prior to
the date of said headng to determine whether to form an underground utility district.
The proposed Underground Utility District Nos. 03-01 and 03-02 provide for conversion of all
overhead distribution and transmission utilities to underground utilities on Edinger Avenue
between State Route 55 and approximately 1,000 feet southeast of Del Amo Avenue, and on
Del Arno Avenue between Edinger Avenue and Valencia Avenue. Construction of both
Underground Utility Districts will be coordinated with the construction of the Newport Avenue
Extension, State Route 55 Northbound Ramp Reconfiguration, Valencia Avenue and Del Arno
Avenue Widening Project - Phase 1 (CIP No. 7130) and the Edinger Avenue (Smart Street)
Widening Project (CIP No. 7147). Underground Utility Distdct No. 03-01 provides for
undergrounding of the overhead distribution facilities and a portion of the overhead transmission
facilities,
Field and telephone meetings have been held with Edison and SBC to determine the costs
involved. Per the terms of the City's Franchise Agreement with Media One Cable, any
overhead cable facilities within the district will be placed underground by Media One Cable, at
no cost. Funding will be provided by the City under the provisions of Rule 20B. Ten (10)
Edison owned street lights will be removed and ten (10) new Edison owned street lights on
Page 1 of 2 .......
Resolution No. 03-129
Page 5 of 10
marbelite poles 'will be installed. The estimated cost of the proposed underground work is as
follows:
Distribution System
Cost for conduit structure and Cable ........................................ $1,230,000
Transmission System
Cost for conduit structure and Cable ........................................... $515,000
Four (4) properties will require conversion to accept underground services. Pacific Bell and
Media One Cable will provide the necessary conversion at no cost to the affected property
owners. Edison will stub their conduit and conductors to within 6" to 8" below the existing
ground level at the building. The City, on behalf of the property owner, will have the
responsibility to have an electrician extend the conduit and conductors from this location to the
service meter panel and make the conversion to the underground system. All landscaping and
hardscape which is removed and/or damaged as a result of construction will be replaced and/or
repaired by the Edison contractor at no cost to the property owner.
The following list shows the estimated expense for the Edison conversion for the four properties
to be converted.
1 .) 1211 Edinger Avenue (APN 430-252-08) .............................................. $1,000
2.) 1221 Edinger Avenue (APN 430-252-09) .............................................. $1,000
3.) 1231 Edinger Avenue (APN 430-263-01 ) .............................................. $1,000
4.) 15171 Del Arno Avenue (APN 430-251-11) ......................................... $1,000
There will be no other property owner conversion expense. All other existing private utility
service lines are presently underground and/or are ready to accept underground service.
Initial indications by the utility companies are that their work can be completed in 18 months.'
This District will provide for the removal of all wood and steel poles and street lights with
overhead wires along Edinger Avenue, from Highway 55 to approximately 1,000' southeast of
Del Arno Avenue, and on Del Amo Avenue, from Edinger Avenue to Valencia Avenue.
