Leslie,
Kevin has the exhibit we have been working on for the Old Town aerial cable crossings. I have received
the following information from the utility companies:
Oncor:
Total cost for all Crossings - $161,000. These costs are broken down by location on the exhibit
With the Oncor crossings being converted from aerial to underground, our electrician will need to work
on the connection to the service at each house. This will require permission from each property owner,
and the total cost will be approximately $4,650 as shown on the exhibit
Time Warner:
Time Warner has indicated that the amount of spicing required to bury only the crossings would be an
unreasonable cost and time. They have proposed to bury everything from their facility at 408 Bethel
west to Loch lane. This way they can splice only at the end, and the result will be the elimination of all
crossings and the parallel run. The estimated cost for this work is $140,000.
Verizon:
Verizon indicated that as part of their relocations they will remove all their overhead lines in this area, as
they have become excess anyway. the only potential issue is service to Eddie's Barber Shop, which may
require dedication of an easement behind Michael's Wood Floor business. They may request our
assistance in securing this easement. There is no proposed cost to the city for this work.
These numbers are approximate based on all available information. If we are given the green light, the
utility companies will do their detailed design work, and we will bring forward an agreement with a hard
number at a future meeting.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Keith
