To achieve this the CRA Board directed staff to proceed with Streetscape Improvements and Undergrounding of Overhead Utilities along SR A1A from Hollywood Blvd. to Sheridan Street.
On November 18, 2015, the CRA Board (R-BCRA-2015-53) authorized Kimley Horn and Associates to provide consulting services for the design and construction documents for to bring this improvement to fruition. Kimley Horn has prepared plans for the project and these plans were given to FPL to prepare the necessary agreement for the conversion of overhead powerlines to underground including the necessary ancillary infrastructure equipment (utility boxes).
Installation of underground facilities requires portions of the work and equipment to be placed in City Right of Way, therefore FPL requires the City to enter into the attached City/County Right of Way Agreement for Underground Conversions (Exhibit "1").
The installation of ancillary infrastructure equipment does not fit within City Right of Way and, as such, is proposed to be placed on City owned property along SR A1A. This agreement is a separate companion item.
