MEMORANDUM -�, r,
TO: Infrastructure Committee
FROM: Arthur B. Morgan, Interim City Engineer
SUBJECT: Time Warner Cable Downtown Installation
DATE: June 7, 2011
Time Warner Cable has submitted a price quote for the installation of 4" conduit, for future
expansion in the downtown area.
The proposed cost estimate is $79,925.39, of which, more than 50% is anticipated for the
required boring necessary under Exchange Street, Harlow Street, and Park Street for placement
of the new conduit. Baring under these streets will reduce the impact on traffic and the
expected distance is 299 linear feet. Additional work that can be open cut will require a 6" wider
trench be dug.
Time Warner Cable has indicated that the additional cost would make the project unfeasible for
them to construct and has requested the City consider funding the additional work.
Proposed funding sources could include Downtown TIF or CDBG funds proposed for other
Projects this year.
Respectfully Submitted,
Arthur B. Morgan
