HUSTON, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FROM: REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY STAFF SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A GRANT OF EASEMENT FOR REPLACEMENT OF OVERHEAD WITH UNDERGROUND ELECTRICAL FACILITIES WITH SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY (RULE 20B) IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE NEWPORT AVENUE EXTENSION/SR-55 RAMP RECONFIGURATION PROJECT (CIP NO. 7130) SUMMARY The Grant of Easement from the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency to the Southern California Edison Company is an easement for the installation of new underground facilities as a result of undergrounding a portion of the existing overhead distribution facilities on Edinger Avenue and Del Amo Avenue. These new facilities are being installed within Underground Utility District No. 03-01 and are being financed with Rule 20B funds. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency approve the Grant of Easement for replacement of overhead with underground electrical facilities with Southern California Edison Company (Rule 20B), and authorize the Executive Director and Recording Secretary to execute the Grant of Easement on behalf of the Agency. FISCAL IMPACT The estimated cost of undergrounding the existing overhead distribution facilities on Del Amo Avenue and Edinger Avenue under the Rule 20B Program is $1,230,000. These costs are included in the budgeted funds for the Newport Avenue Extension/SR-55 Ramp Reconfiguration Project (CIP No. 7130). BACKGROUND In conjunction with the Newport Avenue Extension/SR-55 Ramp Reconfiguration Project (CIP No. 7130), Southern California Edison will underground all existing distribution and transmission overhead utilities on Del Amo Avenue and on Edinger Avenue. On November 17, 2003, the City Council adopted Resolution 03-129 which established Underground Utility District Nos. 03-01 and 03-02 within the area of the City generally 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. Approval of a Grant of Easement for Replacement of Overhead with Underground Electrical Facilities with Southern California Edison Company (Rule 20B) in Conjunction with the Newport Avenue Extension/SR-55 Ramp Reconfiguration Project (CIP No. 7130) June 19,2006 Page 2 Underground Utility District No. 03-02 provides for undergrounding of a portion of the overhead transmission facilities. The cost of constructing these improvements will be funded by the Southern California Edison Company (Rule 20A funds). Underground Utility District No. 03-01 provides for undergrounding of the remaining overhead transmission facilities and all distribution facilities and will be funded with Rule 20B funds provided by the City. Sufficient funding for these costs is included in the adopted Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for Fiscal Year 2005-2006 in the Newport Avenue Extension/SR-55 Ramp Reconfiguration Project (CIP No. 7130). DISCUSSION The subject Grant of Easement outlines the area needed by Southern California Edison to provide the new underground distribution facilities. There are two easement locations requested by Southern California Edison. The location of the easements are on the southerly side of the former Case-Swayne property located at 1021 Edinger Avenue and as shown on Exhibit "B" attached to the Grant of Easement. The Easements will provide for placement of above ground appurtenances (Strip #1 on Exhibit B) and connection of the new underground facilities to the existing overhead facilities (Strip #2 on Exhibit B). The area for stripe #1 is for construction of a 66" x 72" concrete pad as a base for a cabinet 58" in length, 58" in width and 49" high. The area for strip #2, at one time, was the extension of Newport Avenue which is now abandoned. Southern California Edison currently has an aerial easement for the existing overhead facilities but not for the proposed underground facilities. In the future, when the second phase of the Newport Avenue Extension Project (north of Edinger Avenue) is constructed, the existing overhead facilities will be installed underground within the future Newport Avenue and the existing aerial easement and the subject easement will be terminated. The City Council on March 20, 2006 approved a Grant of Easement for the Undergrounding of transmission facilities. That easement was granted within the area of the abandoned Newport Avenue on the Case-Swayne property. The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the language of the subject Grant of Easement. The Grant of Easement is also in the form approved by the California Public Utilities Commission. Tim D. Serlet Director of Public Work~s/City Engineer Dana R. Kasdan .
