6.1.E. - Page 2 circumstances such as historic structures or environmental issues within the underground district. Staff has informed PG&E that there are historic structures within the underground district and that special conditions will need to be met to ensure that no exterior architectural features are altered before any construction work takes place on the buildings. There is a likelihood of hazardous and contaminated sites near or within the joint trench alignment. Staff will coordinate with San Mateo Environmental Health Office to determine the status of these known sites. For contamination found on private property, the property owner is responsible for the cost for disposal of any contaminated material. The project design will include a soil handling plan with necessary certifications for the contractor to handle and disposal of potentially contaminated soils. Building or Electrical Code violations will be evaluated by the City's Building staff and compliance will be required of the property owners. ALTERNATIVES Council may elect not to enter into this agreement and direct staff to investigate other options in underground services. FISCAL IMPACT The panel conversions will be funded by the existing Rule20A credit allocation. As of April 1, 2012, the current work credit balance is $6,654,105.00.
