...Title
Request to Fund Undergrounding of Utilities on SW 4th Avenue (600 BLK-1000 BLK)

...Explanation
SW 4th Avenue is highlighted in both the University of Florida and the City of Gainesville’s recently adopted strategic plans as a key corridor for multi-model transportation, pedestrian activity, and ongoing development opportunities. In addition, the Gainesville Community Redevelopment Agency included in their Fiscal Year 2017-2018 Workplan Update a section labeled “FY17/18 Next Steps” which calls for coordinating with key stakeholders (UFDC, Development Proposals) to further enhance the Innovation Square area.

A proposal for a Public/Public/Private Partnership was brought forth by Trimark Properties with regards to undergrounding the overhead utility infrastructure on the south side of SW 4th Avenue, from just east of SW 6th Street to just west of SW 10th Street. SW 4th Avenue Undergrounding is broken into three segments and is measured from GRU Pole #30063 (west of SW 10th Street) to GRU Pole #17759 (east of SW 6th Street). The undergrounding includes infrastructure for GRU, GRUCom, AT&T, Cox and Public Works (street lighting). The undergrounding will also include short segments south along SW 8th Street (to GRU Pole #17343) and SW 7th Terrace (to GRU Pole #17431) and north along SW 7th Terrace (to GRU Pole #43000).

Street lighting (on both the north and south sides of SW 4th Avenue), utilizing the Innovation Square standard Capella fixtures, is an additional $153,216.

D.E. Scorpio Corporation, acting as an agent of Trimark Properties, solicited competitive pricing from subcontractors for the installation of the underground infrastructure (conduit only) and restoration of the curbing, sidewalks and grassing, to pre-undergrounding conditions. The following represents the breakdown, per segment, of the undergrounding project:

Segment I - $222,520 (Pole #30063 to Pole #17173)*

Conduit Infrastructure: $71,003
Cabling Infrastructure
