Explanation
§ Charlotte Water awarded a construction contract for the Briar Creek Relief Sewer Phase 3 project in May 2016. As part of that project, there are multiple private utilities, whose infrastructure is largely located outside of the road right of way, which need to be relocated prior to construction of the new sewer.
§ This request is for Duke Energy to relocate five underground transformers, about 7,000 feet of wire and light poles along Briar Creek. These utilities are currently in the way of the sewer contractor between Barrington Drive and Aqua Court.
§ Duke Energy will perform this work in a manner which will minimize outages to their customers and will invoice Charlotte Water after the work is complete for the actual cost of the work.
§ Duke Energy is completing their relocation work in a phased plan. This request is for the third and final phase of the work.
§ Previous phases of Duke Energy’s work have been approved in accordance with the cost estimates. The total cost of all three phases of relocation work is approximately $250,000.
