'~YC~'t rY City C erg AGREEMENT TN I S AGREEMENT, made th i s~'cr ~ / day of ~/'%~~j 1973, by and between the CITY OF AUBURN, !dashinyton, a Municipal Co poration, ("City" herein) and rUGET SOUfiD PO!dER ~ LIGIiT COMPANY, a ~Jashington Corporation, ("Puget" herein). RECITALS A. Puget is a public service company engaged in the sale and distribution of electric energy and, pursuant~to its franchise from the City, presently dis- tributes electricity within the City. B. Ellingson Road Conversion from "A" Street S. E. to the Burlington Plorthern P,ailroad Bridge, is part of a street improvement program being undertaken by the City. Said area is referred to he rein as the "Conversion Area" and is more specifically identified on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A, which is hereby made a part hereof. C. The Conversion Area is to be improved by the City in the calendar years 1973 and 1974 and such improvements are to include reballastiny and resurfacing of the existing roadway, the addition of one full lane or more for vehicular traffic, and will be designated an arterial street. The street improvement project lvlll include the installation by the City of a City owned underground street lighting circuit. D. The City has expressed a desire to participate with Puget to cause the existing overhead po~.~rer distribution system within the Conversion Area to be removed and a comparable underground power distribution system installed. Said underground system shall not include street lighting or street lighting circuitry. AGREEMENTS 1. Puget shall furnish and install within the Conversion Area, in accor- dance with its standard specifications, an underground electric distribution system, exclusive of underground service lines extending from service connections of structures to the property lines of owners of real property adjacent to the public street in which said underground distribution system is located. Said underground distribution system is herein referred to as the "Main Distribution System". ?_. Puget shall remove the existing overhead electric distribution system being used to serve the area, including poles and wires, after all property oti~dners to be served by the Main Distribution System have connected their service to the Main Distribution System and after the removal of the facilities of any other utilities which may be connected to the poles of said overhead system or as otherwise directed by the City. City acknowledges the necessity of having the existing overhead system remain in its present location until removal of the same can be accomplished pursuant to the foregoing provisions. 3. City shall provide the following, at its cost and expense, throughout the Conversion Area: (a) Break-up of street paving and side~,Nalks; (b} Aii required excavation, including,-but not limited to, boring, trenching and excavation for transformer vaults; and (c) Backfill and restoration of streets and sidewalks following the installation of the Main Distribution System. The City shall allots other utilities to use said trench for the installation of their facilities on the condition that any such other facilities do not inter- fere with Pug~t's Main Distribution System. 4. In consideration of Puget's performance of the duties set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Agreement, City shall, within thirty (30) days after completion of said performance, pay Pr.rget. an amount calculated at _2_ the rate of Four Dollars and Fifty Cents ($4.50) per foot in accordance with Electric Tariffs (conversion to underground service) on file with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission. From the foregoing, the amount pay- able by City shall be: (a) Ellingson Road centerline footage from "A" Street S. E. to the Burlington Northern Railroad 273 feet (b) Amount payable 273 feet X $4.50 p:=r foot - $1,228.50 5. The Main Distribution System shall at all times be owned and maintained by Puget. 6. City recognizes that Puget requires the owners of real property to be served by the Main bistribution System to provide, at their expense, space for all underground electrical facilities which must be located on privately owned property and that said o~,Nners shall grant such operating rights as may be necessary therefor. The City recognizes that the procurement of such oper- ating rights is a prerequisite to release this conversion project for con- struction. Puget shall use its best efforts to obtain the same. 7. City shall be responsible for coordinating the installation of all aspects of the street improvement project and shall give Puget reasonable prior notice as to when the Main Distribution System may be installed with a minimum of interference from the installation of other improvements. Puget shall not be required to install the Main Distribution System until the area in which said system is to be installed has been established to grade. 8. Puget's performance hereunder shall be commenced within a reasonable time following written notice from City requesting such performance and -3- stating that City has performed all necessary preliminary work as required herein. Puget shall use reasonable diligence in meeting its obligations hereunder but shall not be liable for any delays resulting from circumstances beyond its control. EXECUTED the day first above written.
