DR.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council receive and file this report.
Summary : This report covers the progress made on this Rule 20B conversion project to date. This project calls for the conversion of overhead utilities to underground services for residents along Loma Dr. and Sunset Dr. in the vicinity of Pier Ave. and 6th Street. As you know, under the terms of Rule 20B, residents are responsible for conduit installation from property line to house meter, plus any modifications required by Edison such as service point relocation or meter change. Upon completion of residents’ tie-ins to underground system (conduit), the Utility companies will pull conductors (electric wires) to property line for service connections. Final portion of work will be the removal of utility poles and the installation of new streetlights.
Work Completed: Loma Dr. and Sunset Dr.: the substructure work which is the installation of mainline conduits, Edison, GTE and Cable TV vaults, pull boxes, handholes and laterals to residents has been completed to about 90%.
Work in Progress : General site clean up and the installation pull rope into conduits: the pull rope provides a way for getting electrical wires into the conduits. It is anticipated that this work will be done by the end of March. In addition, Staff is drafting a reminder letter to inform the residents that under the terms of Underground Utility District No. 97-2 they are responsible for having the work performed on their own property in order to receive the new underground services. Moreover, in order to prevent interruption of electric service, it is very important that their work be completed by a certain time. Staff will be working under the provision of Section 13.08.110 Responsibility of property owners to provide service connection – effect of noncompliance of the Hermosa Beach Municipal Code.
