Descri tion Finance: Council Notes: 7fi.n262 Agenda Item No ~ oiTY OF SAN BER~DINO - REQUEST OR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT Due to the widening of 21st Street, the existing Edison pole, on the southwest corner of crestview Avenue, must be relo- cated at their cost. Edison has proposed deducting this cost from the total cost to underground the existing utility lines from Crestview Avenue to San Gabriel Avenue, and install 6 street light standards, since the existing lights will be removed with the utility poles. The estimated cost for undergrounding the existing Edison, GTE and Comcast Cable lines is $94,000, as set forth below: Edison General Telephone Comcast Cable $ 64,000 24,000 6,000 Total $ 94,000 Edison estimates that this figure represents one-half of the total cost. Under Rule 20-B of the Public Utilities Commission, the City pays the difference in cost between relocating the overhead lines, and installing the lines underground. The undergrounding of these lines will greatly enhance the visual effect along 21st Street. We recommend that $94,000 be allocated from the Street Light Assessment District to finance the cost for undergrounding utilities along 21st Street. 7-25-91 75-0264
