The <br />street improvements will be on the west side of the street and will include pavement widening, curb, <br />gutter, sidewalk, and driveway approaches. The project also requires the relocation of electric power <br />poles, transformers, primary and secondary wires, mast -arm lights, guy wires, and related overhead <br />facilities. <br />The project will replace existing aging overhead distribution facilities to improve system reliability and <br />safety, improve power quality and electric service to customers in the area, and replace aging <br />infrastructure that is beyond its useful life. Replacement of overhead distribution facilities is identified as <br />part of the Utility 2.0 Electric Infrastructure Road Map. <br />DISCUSSION: <br />The scope of work includes the replacement of overhead facilities located on Selkirk Avenue from Tyler <br />Street to Thompson Way. The work includes the replacement of four wooden electric power poles, the <br />installation of one wooden electric power pole, two pole -mounted transformers, transfer approximately <br />900 feet of primary and secondary wire, and mast arm lights. The work also includes the removal of four <br />electric power poles, down guy, and other related overhead electrical facilities. There is no civil contract <br />work associated with this scope of work. Intermittent electric service disruptions will be coordinated <br />during construction and advanced outage notifications will be issued to minimize the impact to <br />customers. <br />Page 21 <br />
