Subject: Approve a Discretionary Service Agreement with Oncor
Electric Delivery Company LLC, in an amount not to exceed
$505,027.
Action
Requested: Approve a Discretionary Service Agreement with Oncor Electric
Delivery Company LLC, in an amount not to exceed $505,027.
Background
Information: The purpose of this item is to enter into an agreement with Oncor
Electric Delivery Company LLC for the burial of existing overhead
power lines along the east side of North White Chapel Boulevard.
This coincides with the North White Chapel Boulevard widening
project from Emerald Boulevard to 500 feet south of Highland
Street project.
The existing poles supporting the overhead lines on the east side
of North White Chapel Boulevard are currently located in the right
of way. Due to the limited right of way and all of the elements in
the proposed cross-section of the roadway, relocated overhead
utility power poles would be located in the sidewalk. The City has
elected to bury the power lines rather than have the relocated poles
within the sidewalk or seek additional easements to locate the
poles in residential yards.
The request for the funds needed for the burial of these utilities
were presented to and approved by City Council in the FY2015 CIP
budget. This item is before you at this time to execute the
agreement with Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC to perform
the necessary construction now that the roadway plans are
complete and the necessary right of way/easements have been
acquired.
Financial
Considerations: The City Council approved additional funding in the amount of
$850,000 in the FY2015 CIP budget for burial of these overhead
lines for this project.
