Regular Meeting City Manager Department
REQUEST:
The Public Works Department requesting authorization to have Duke Energy remove
existing overhead power facilities in Central Winds Park at a cost of $63,216.84 plus a 10%
contingency.
SYNOPSIS:
The Central Winds Park Roadway Improvements project starts construction in May 2016
and includes the undergrounding of existing overhead power lines in Central Winds Park by
Duke Energy. The City desires to remove additional overhead power facilities at the north
end of the park, at a cost of $63,216.84.
CONSIDERATIONS:
At the March 28, 2016 City Commission meeting, the Commission authorized
awarding a construction contract to Cathcart Construction Company for the Central
Winds Park Roadway Improvements project at a cost of $1.44 million.
As part of the roadway improvements within Central Winds Park, Duke Energy will
be undergrounding a portion of the existing overhead power lines to avoid conflicts
with the roadway construction (see Exhibit A). Duke's undergrounding work to avoid
roadway conflicts is at no cost to the City; however, it would require the installation
of two new wood poles at the northern end of Central Winds Parkway, where there
are already three existing wood power poles (see Exhibit B), for what would be a total
of five poles.
Consent 302 PAGE 1 OF 2 - May 09, 2016
Staff has worked with Duke Energy to develop a plan to eliminate all power poles at

$63,216.84 and consists of the installation of a switchgear and two pad- mounted
transformers in the vicinity of the three existing power poles. The undergrounding
work would be performed in advance of roadway construction.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost to remove additional overhead power facilities at Central Winds Park is
$63,216.84, funded by a supplemental appropriation from the Transportation Impact Fee
Fund in the amount of $63,216.84.
