I. RECOMMENDATION:
This is for information only, as requested by the Council as a future agenda item.
II. BACKGROUND:
The Council requested information about bringing power to Veterans Park such as costs and scope.
III. DISCUSSION:
Staff in working with the City Engineer developed a cost estimate for bringing electrical service to Veterans Park on Sunset Street. The cost estimate includes work that will be completed by an electrical contractor with PG&E providing a service drop from the power pole in the alley across Sunset to a splice box where the contractor will directional drill the conduit across Sunset to the park. The City Engineer also added a 25% contingency to the project to make sure we are covered for the PG&E rule 16 work. Depending on the scope of onsite work desired by the Council (what is to be energized) the cost could increase slightly. The majority of the cost is requesting and running the new service.
The preliminary estimate is approximately $68,000. A copy of the preliminary cost estimate is attached.
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
None as this is informational only.
V. FISCAL IMPACT:
If the Council would like to pursue this further all costs associated with this effort would be fully burdened by the General Fund. |
