A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
ESTABLISHING AN AREA OF BENEFIT AND
REIMBURSIBLE COSTS FOR THE
HARNEY LANE GRADE SEPARATION
PROJECT UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING
WHEREAS, at the December 17, 2014, City Council meeting, Resolution
No. 2014-233 was adopted authorizing the City Manager to execute a Pacific Gas &
Electric (PG&E) Rule 20C Agreement for the Harney Lane Grade Separation Project for
utility undergrounding work at a cost to the City of $128,640; and
WHEREAS, the California Public Utility Commission requires utility companies to
relocate facilities that will conflict with the construction of a municipal project at no cost to
the municipality. The utility companies will relocate overhead utilities to another
overhead location at no cost to the municipality; and
WHEREAS, the utilities in the vicinity of the Stockton Street and Harney Lane
intersection are required to be placed underground by the Reynolds Ranch Project.
Rather than move the utilities to a new overhead location and later place them
underground, it was more cost effective to pay the added cost now to place the utilities
underground, instead of later, when development of the Reynolds Ranch Project
triggered the utility undergrounding requirement; and
WHEREAS, the Reynolds Ranch project is obligated to construct intersection
improvements at the Harney Lane and Stockton Street intersection and to underground
the existing overhead PG&E utility lines that are located along Harney Lane at that
location. The costs associated with both the undergrounding of utilities and the
intersection improvements noted above are to be reimbursed by the Reynolds Ranch
Development; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends the reimbursable costs be assigned to the
remaining undeveloped parcels on the basis of net acreage; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Lodi Municipal Code Section 15.64.080, the
reimbursable amount will be adjusted annually to include an amount attributable to
interest, which will be based on the change in the Engineering News Record (ENR) 20
Cities Construction Cost Index from January 1, 2015 to the January 1St of the year of
reimbursement. The beginning ENR index is 9972.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
establish an area of benefit and reimbursable costs for the Harney Lane Grade
Separation Project utility undergrounding; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Lodi City Council, that pursuant to Lodi
Municipal Code Section 15.64.080, the reimbursable amount will be adjusted annually to
include an amount attributable to interest, which will be based on the change in the
Engineering News Record (ENR) 20 Cities Construction Cost Index from January 1,
2015 to the January 1St of the year of reimbursement. The beginning ENR index is 9972.
