RECOMMENDATION qo . Adopt resolution revising underground deadlines FINANCIAL STATEMENT: None DESCRIPTION On April 8 , 1985 , the City Council adopted Resolution No . 20-85 which modified the dates for the subject underground district . Both PG&E and Pacific Bell have advised the City Engineer that they will be unable to meet the June 30 , 1985 date set by Resolution No . 20-85 for undergrounding and removing all of their aerial facilities . PG&E will open bids for their work on June 11 , 1985 and work will probably start June 21 , 1985 . The underground facilities would be ready for use about July 12 , 1985 , and the PG&E wires would be down and the poles topped by July 26 , 1985 . Pacific Bell has indicated they can meet the current schedule for converting their local distribution cables , but the earliest date they could replace their existing aerial trunk and toll cable with an underground facility would be mid-November , 1985 • In December , 1985 , however, their new Pleasanton Central Office is scheduled to open and they will no longer need this cable . By not replacing it underground , they indicate Pacific Bell will save $50 , 000 . Pacific Bell , therefore , has requested that the date for removal of the poles be extended to January 1 , 1986 . These poles will not conflict with the proposed widening project on San Ramon Road . It is therefore necessary to modify previously approved dates as follows : 1 . Property owners be ready to receive underground service by July 12 , 1985 ( initially April 15 , 1985 ) and 2 . Removal of and underground installation of overhead utilities with the exception of Pacific Bell ' s trunk and toll cable by July 26, 1985 (init- ially May 31 , 1985 ) 3 . Removal of the Pacific Bell trunk and toll cable and the poles by January 1 , 1986 (previously May 31 , 1985 ) Property owners within the district are being noticed of this proposed change and will be notified by mail of this change if approved . ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- COPIES TO : ITEM NO . x/• �, RESOLUTION NO . - 85 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN -------------------------------------- AMENDING RESOLUTION NO . 20-85 AND AMENDING MANDATORY DATES FOR UNDERGROUNDING OF UTILITIES IN THE SAN RAMON ROAD UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT NUMBER 1 WHEREAS , the City Council of the City of Dublin has established the San Ramon Road Underground Utility District Number 1 by Resolution No . 124-84 ; and WHEREAS , under Section 3 of that resolution, certain deadlines were established for undergrounding of utilities ; and WHEREAS , these deadlines were extended by Resolution No . 20-85 ; and WHEREAS , the design and construction of this District will not meet these new dates .

May 30, 1985 JUN 4 1985 The Honorable Peter Snyder and Council CITY Ci- [)-'3L,,1 Mayor of the City of Dublin 6500 Dublin Blvd. Dublin, CA RE: UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT NUMBER 1 - San Ramon Road Dear Mayor Snyder: This correspondence is to request an extension of time for the removal of our aerial cables and poles within the above mentioned Underground Utility District. The aerial cables in the District consist of local distribution cables and a trunk & toll cable. The distribution cables provide service to the local customers. The trunk and toll cable provides service between our Central offices in each City and have many special data and digital circuits. We are currently working to turn up a new Central office in Pleasanton. Once this new office is on line, we will no longer need the trunk and toll cable that will be effected by your Underground Utility District. Our present schedule calls for the new Pleasanton Central office to be on line by the first of December 1985. At that time the trunk and toll cable referred to above can be put out of service and removed. If we must go forward with a plan to replace the existing trunk and toll cable with a new underground cable, the earliest we could remove the existing aerial trunk and toll cable would be mid-November 1985. The reason for this date is; the trunk and toll cable is a specially made cable and has to be special ordered from the factory. The time interval for receiving this factory cable is 90 days. Once the cable is received and placed, then the process of transferring the working pairs in the existing aerial cable to the new underground cable is a very complicated process and involves considerable coordination just to transfer one pair of wires. There are 208 pairs of wires that would need to be transferred. By allowing our request for an extension of the removal date, it would save our company over $50,000.00. This should not affect the current schedule for building our new undergrounding support structure, the conversion of our local distribution cables, or the City's street improvement project. Our study shows the existing poles, if left in place temporarily, would not be in the traveled portion of the new street, but would be in the sidewalk area. When we remove the poles we would then place the new sidewalk around the location where the poles are to be removed. This has been discussed with the City engineer and meets with his approval. Pursuant to the above information, we respectfully request the pole removal date within Underground Utility District Number 1, San Ramon Road be extended to January 1, 1986, or to some date after the holidays. If more information is desired I will be available to answer questions at your council meeting if requested. I can be reached by telephone on (415) 943-4423.
