(� I - I <br />December 1, 2003 <br />Subject <br />"Application and Letter of Agency for Custom Work" Agreement with SBC <br />Recommendation <br />1. Approve and authorize execution of "Application and Letter of Agency for Custom <br />Work" Agreement between SBC and the City of Redwood City for expediting the <br />splicing and "cutover" of SBC telecommunications lines for the Downtown <br />Underground Parking Facility. <br />2. Authorize funds from the Downtown Funding Contingency Budget in the amount of <br />$84,000.00 to pay for this work. <br />Background <br />As part of the new Downtown Underground Parking Facility, which extends beneath and <br />into Middlefield Road, the utilities on Middlefield Road between Winslow Street and <br />Broadway need to be relocated. Staff has been working closely with PG &E and SBC in <br />coordinating the relocation of their facilities. <br />The Developer, BHV Innisfree Ventures I (under the Demolition and Utilities Relocation <br />Agreement with the City), is in the process of installing new substructures and conduits <br />for the first phase of this relocation. <br />The next phase requires SBC to pull, splice, and " cutover" new cables from their <br />existing system. Due to the forthcoming winter rains, and the desire to keep the overall <br />"On Broadway" project on schedule, it is necessary to accelerate SBC's work. <br />SBC has been cooperative in working with the City in reviewing and approving the <br />design, and has agreed to expedite this work. Under normal working hours, SBC <br />projected that the work can be completed within 90 calendar days. With the <br />acceleration, the work can be completed expeditiously within 30 calendar days. It is <br />anticipated that the work for the substructures and conduits will be substantially <br />completed by December 1, 2003, and turned over to SBC at that time. <br />SBC is estimating an additional cost of $84,000 for this acceleration. <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
