Project Description
This PG&E Rule 20A project will underground the overhead utility lines along Monterey Road from Dunne Avenue
to approximately 500 feet south of Spring Avenue. The undergrounding district has been formed for the project.
Construction is anticipated to begin in the Summer of 2016 using $2.75 million of Rule 20A funding and be
completed within six months. PG&E has agreed to pay for the conversion costs to each individual customer
affected by the project. Verizon and Charter will work separately from the City and PG&E to complete their
portion of work.
Rule 20A funds are held by PG&E. PG&E will provide one-half of the necessary funds up front to get the project
started. The City will then invoice PG&E for contractor progress payments.
Project Justification
The undergrounding of utilities will improve both the aesthetics and safety along Monterey Road.
