RE: APPROVAL OF SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZATION TO SEEK BIDS
FOR CONVERSION OF ELECTRICAL SERVICE PANELS FROM
OVERHEAD TO UNDERGROUND ON SAN GABRIEL BOULEVARD
(GARVEY/HELLMAN)
Southern California Edison Company(SCE) has completed installation of the underground
conduit on San Gabriel Boulevard, between 1-10 Freeway and 200 feet north of Garvey
Avenue, and is currently pulling the electrical cables through the conduit. SCE will then
be ready to remove the existing overhead lines. However, before this can be done, the
consumer-side electrical panels must be converted to accept the power supply from
underground rather than overhead. Although SCE is performing their work using the City's
Rule 20A allocations, the electrical panel conversions cannot be funded by that source.
Along with adopting Resolution No. 95-52, which created the Underground Utility District
No. 8 (San Gabriel Boulevard from 1-10 Freeway to 200 feet north of Garvey Avenue), City
Council approved utilizing the Redevelopment Agency funds to perform the consumer-side
electrical panel conversions. As you recall, the Agency funded such conversions for the
Valley Boulevard and Garvey Avenue underground projects.
The proposed schedule for construction is as follows:
Receive Bids January 13, 2000
Award Contract January 25, 2000
Begin Work February 22, 2000
Complete Work March 31, 2000

authorize advertisement for bids by the Agency Secretary.
