SHAKOPEE
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Bruce Loney, Public Works Director
DATE: 04/07/2015
SUBJECT: Consider CSAH 17 Overhead Powerline Relocation to Underground (E)
Action Sought
Approve a motion determining that the overhead power line along CSAH 17 be
relocated and placed underground.
Background
Scott County is reconstructing CSAH 17 from approximately 1/4 mile south of CH
78 to 1/4 mile north of CR 42 this year. The existing overhead power line on the east
side of CSAH 17 needs to be relocated for the expansion of the roadway.
Per City Code, the Council has the right to order the overhead line underground if
the relocation is more than 300 feet. The Council did order the power line to be
placed underground on the previous CSAH 17 reconstruction project to the north.
Attached is a memo from Joe Adams of Shakopee Public Utilities (SPU) on the
costs of relocating power lines overhead or placing underground. SPU does have an
Underground Relocation fund to pay for the additional cost of undergrounding
power lines.
Recommendation
Staff would recommend City Council to order the undergrounding of the power
lines similar to the previous CSAH 17 project.
Budget Impact
None.
Relationship to Vision
This supports Goal D: Maintain, improve and create strong partnerships with other
public and private sector entities.
Requested Action
Approve a motion determining that the overhead power line along CSAH 17 be
relocated and placed underground.

MEMORANDUM

FROM: Joseph D. Adams, Planning &Engineering Director
SUBJECT: CSAH 17 Overhead Facilities Relocation
DATE: May 15,2014
ISSUE
Scott County is re-constructing CSAH 17 from approximately 1/4 mile south of CR 78 to approximately
'/4 mile north of CR 42 during 2015. The planned improvements to this section of the roadway will
require the relocation of approximately 2,100 feet of the overhead three phase electric utility feeder
line designated SS-31 and various service taps.
BACKGROUND
SS-31 runs along the east side of CSAH 17 in the project area and is or will soon be underground both
to the immediate north and south of this roadway section due to previous improvement projects.
DISCUSSION
Staff has reviewed the preliminary construction plans for the right of way improvements and has
determined:
This section of SS-31 must be relocated due to the planned road improvements. The estimated cost to
construct replacement overhead facilities and to remove the existing lines and power poles that have to
be relocated is$58,000, which includes $8,250 for removal. The cost for construction of new
overhead facilities plus removal and retirement of the existing overhead facilities that have to relocated
would be absorbed as an operating expense.
The estimated cost to relocate this section of SS-31 underground would be approximately$162,000,
which includes $10,500 for removal. The removal cost would be absorbed as an operating expense.
Should the City Council, under their right of way management authority, order the relocated facilities
be placed underground the additional cost of$104,000 ($162,000-$58,000),per Commission policy,
would be funded out of the Underground Relocation Fund.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends:
1. The Commission accepts the estimated costs to relocate overhead facilities due to the planned
2015 CSAH 17 road improvement project.
2. The Commission directs staff to forward the estimated costs to the Council to aid the Council in
making their determination under the City's Right of Way Management Ordinance whether or
not to order the overhead facilities to be relocated underground.
REQUESTED ACTION
Staff requests the Commission adopt the recommended actions.
