SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In preparation for the reconstruction of Mission Street (planned for Summer 2025-26), the City has been working with the existing overhead and underground franchise utilities on relocating
their facilities underground and upgrading their utility lines to minimize any future cuts in the City’s roadway after it is reconstructed.
Per the City’s franchise agreement with Idaho Power, if requesting to underground existing utilities (that do not need to be relocated), the City is responsible for 100% of the conversion
costs of undergrounding existing overhead Idaho Power utilities. The City is not responsible for any utility upgrade expenses.
This agenda bill presents the relocation cost agreement with Idaho Power for the Phase 1 of this project. In Phase 1, all underground conduits and splice boxes will be installed, but
the overhead lines will remain energized. Per the Phase 1 agreement, the City will reimburse Idaho Power $167,200 upon completion of the proposed work (see attached agreement, plans
and estimate). Once all conduits are installed, and depending on favorable construction weather, the City and ITD will commence with Phase 2 (pulling new wires underground, energizing
underground wires, converting all customers to underground service connections, and removing all overhead poles).
Approving this agreement will allow Idaho Power to complete the construction work in a timely manner this summer and progress to other City initiated projects without further delay.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Execute the Relocation Cost Agreement with Idaho Power for the Mission Street utility relocation project; authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents; and
authorize staff to manage change orders up to 10% over the original agreement amount.
