CR 98-23 Approve NSP Payment for Underground Electrical ServiceJanuary 30, 1998

Council Report 98 -023
Approve NSP Payment for Underground Electrical Service
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends the following motion: Move that Council approve payment
in the amount of $41,490.00 to Northern States Power for the installation of
underground electrical crossings on Excelsior Boulevard.
One of the aesthetic improvements for the Excelsior Boulevard corridor is the
removal of the existing power poles and overhead lines. A potential city cost
of $400,000+ was substantially reduced by working with NSP on their
primary distribution upgrade project. The City allowed NSP to locate new
distribution poles and lines along the HCRRA right -of -way. Thus,
simplifying the future removal of poles and lines along Excelsior Boulevard.
As a result, the city cost is limited to a couple underground crossings (11
Ave and 9 Ave) of Excelsior Boulevard. Power pole removal will be from
Shady Oak Road to 5 Avenue and is to be done this summer.
Primary Issues to Consider.
• Work Scope and Schedule.
The work consists of boring under Excelsior Boulevard, installing new cable
and splicing. The work will be done this spring.
• Funding.
The cost was budgeted and will be funded, as a part of the Excelsior
Boulevard, Phase I improvements, from the $2 3 million TIF Redevelopment
GO Bond.
