RE: Undergrounding of Hydro line through Reeve St. park

AS part of the redevelopment of Reeve St. park, the Parks and
Recreation Department has requested that an assessment be made of the
cost of undergrounding the hydro line that runs through the park
property.

The civil work for this broject, to be done at our expense, will
include:
1) excavating a trench approximately 530 m long,
1 m deep and 0.45m wide
laying sand bedding material on the bottom of
the trench
installing four (4) plastic conduits along the
length of the trench
installing two pilasters beside the poles at either end of
the site
5) providing a sand covering over the conduits
6) backfilling the trench with existing material and tamping
7) installing two pull boxes at eitner end of the site
The approximate cost for this work is S$ 28,00.

The work performed by BC Hydro will be to remove the existing
poles, bring the lines down, pull the lines through the conduits and do
the necessary connections. The Materials for the project (conduits,
pull boxes and wiring) will be supplied by Hydro.

BC Hydro gave a rough cost estimate of $70,000 for the services
and materials provided. This estimate was for the undergrounding from
the dike to the pole before the parking lot. To extend the
undergrounding through the parking lot would cost an extra $2,200@.

The total cost for this project, considering the services and
materials provided by Hydro and the civil work would be approximately
$100,000.
