BACKGROUND The design package for the Old Stanley Boulevard Improvement Project, CIP No. 055022, was completed in 2008. The project includes construction of a new roadway section, concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk; landscaping; decorative street lighting; and sewer and storm drain improvements. At the October 20, 2009 meeting, City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Bellecci Associates in the amount of $233,608, for design and engineering services for the Stanley Boulevard Underground Utility District; authorized using existing project funds for the consultant design and for PG &E design, plan review and approval costs; and directed staff to initiate formal proceedings to form Underground Utility District UUD- 09 -01. Estimated costs for PG &E's efforts on the project are $80,000. DISCUSSION Rule 20B requires the City to establish the Underground Utility District. The formation process includes a public hearing and a formal resolution to underground the overhead utilities specifying the exact limits of the District and stating the public necessity of the conversion. The proposed Underground Utility District UUD -09 -01 would underground the existing overhead utility lines on Stanley Boulevard between Santa Rita Road and First Street. This proposed district includes 31 parcels composed of single family residential, high density residential and commercial properties. The utilities to be undergrounded include PG &E electrical, AT &T, Comcast Cable TV, and the City of Pleasanton street light wiring. A few parcels in the proposed district were undergrounded previously, as required by the City of Pleasanton's "conditions of approval" for new development.
