AGENDA TITLE: Approve City Participation in the Funding for the Undergrounding of Existing Overhead Facilities
on Stockton Street, North of Harney Lane ($31,660)
MEETING DATE: September 19, 2001
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve City participation in the funding for the undergrounding of existing overhead
facilities on Stockton Street, north of Harney Lane, and authorize the City Manager to
sign the Pacific Bell request for payment on behalf of the City.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The existing utility pole line on the east side of Stockton Street between
Kettleman Lane and Harney Lane belongs to Pacific Bell and supports
Pacific Bell telephone and AT&T cable TV facilities. These facilities are
adjacent to residential developments that have either been completed or are
currently involved in the development process. The proposed utility alignment and various developments are shown
on Exhibit A.
In an effort to improve the aesthetics of this corridor, the City, utility companies, and developers propose to join forces
to complete the undergrounding of these remaining overhead utilities. City staff from the Public Works and Electric
Utility departments have been working with Pacific Bell, AT&T, and the developers for some time to reach consensus
on shared funding between the parties. At Colvin Ranch, the underground facilities are complete and relocation of
the AT&T cable will be completed with this project. At Bangs Ranch, which was developed prior to undergrounding
requirements, Pacific Bell and AT&T have agreed to fund the undergrounding along that frontage. The Arcadia Place
project is conditioned to fund the undergrounding of utilities along its frontage. For the Parisis Ranch project, a cost-
sharing arrangement between the developer and the City has been reached with the developer paying the cost for
relocation (aerial to aerial) and the City contributing the incremental additional cost (aerial to underground).
Pacific Bell has provided a summary of charges showing the costs attributable to the Parisis Ranch developer
($16,222.05) and the City ($31,658.86) for the work adjacent to Parisis Ranch, as well as a request for payment for
the City -funded portion of the work. Pacific Bell will schedule and coordinate with AT&T and complete the work within
approximately four to six weeks from receipt of payment by the City. Staff recommends that Council approve the
request for payment and authorize the City Manager to sign the request for payment on behalf of the City.
