RECOMMENDATION:
Approve appropriation from Street Light Assessment District
Reserves (Fund 710) in the amount of $12,635 for the City's share of
costs associated with utility undergrounding.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
PG&E has estimated the City's share of the cost of the joint trench to
be $5,933. The cost for the installation of two street lights is
estimated at $6,100. After adding a 5% contingency, the total cost is
$12,635.
DESCRIPTION: In November of 1995, the City Council adopted an ordinance
establishing Underground Utility District 95-1, for undergrounding of the overhead utilities on Dublin
Boulevard between the 1-680 overcrossing and approximately 600' west of Clark Avenue.
Under California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Rule 20A, the City is responsible for installing any
street lighting that is needed after the wood poles are removed. In the area to be undergrounded, there is
only one street light on a wood pole; however, there is a gap in the existing street lighting between the end
of the median that begins just east of Village Parkway and the median that begins just west of Clark
Avenue (see Exhibit 4). Staffis therefore proposing to install two str6et lights with this undergrounding
project and an additional two lights with the future un. dergrounding project in the next street segment.
The conduit for the street lighting will occupy a portion of the joint trench, along with PG&E, Pacific Bell,
and Viacom facilities. PG&E's design department has prepared composite drawings for the joint trench for
this project and has submitted an estimate in the amount of $5,933 for the City's share of the cost.
Staff.also received an estimate for installation of two street lights, as well as some additional "rockwheel"
trenching that is necessary to extend conduit from the easterly limit of the joint trench to the actual location
of the new lights. It is proposed that the contractor currently involved in the Dublin Boulevard Widening 95-01
project perform this work in order to avoid mobilization costs that would be incurred with a new
contractor. The estimate for street light installation is $6,100.
