Approve Work Authorization Village -Wide Undergrounding Feasibility Assessment - Kimley-Horn, Inc.
At the August 1 st, 2022 Village Council workshop the Village Council heard a presentation from FPL to
provide a Village -Wide Undergrounding project. At the conclusion of the workshop Council directed
staff to put this on a future Council workshop for additional discussion.
Staff has met with Kimley Horn to discuss next steps. Council further discussed undergrounding at the
August 29 workshop and directed staff to bring back an agreement for consideration. Kimley-Horn has
provided a scope of work to begin a Village -Wide Undergrounding Feasibility Assessment.
This Work Authorization authorizes Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to perform work set forth herein
and is issued pursuant to The Professional Engineering Services Agreement, between the Village of
Tequesta ("Client" or "Village") and Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. ("Kimley-Horn" or "Consultant"),

VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA
ENGINEERING SERVICES WORK AUTHORIZATION
VILLAGE -WIDE UNDERGROUNDING FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT
This Work Authorization authorizes Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to perform work set forth
herein and is issued pursuant to The Professional Engineering Services Agreement, between the
Village of Tequesta "client" or "Village") and Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. ("Kimley-Horn" or
"Consultant"), dated September 10, 2020 ("Agreement"). All terms and conditions of said
Agreement are hereby incorporated and made part of this Work Authorization.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The Village of Tequesta wishes to begin investigating the feasibility of relocating existing
overhead utilities (electric, telephone, and cable) to an underground location to enhance the
safety, reliability and aesthetics of these facilities within the Village's boundaries, an
approximately 2.26 square mile area in northeastern Palm Beach County.
In order to evaluate the feasibility of this large-scale project, the development of a Feasibility
Assessment is needed to evaluate anticipated program elements and costs prior to moving
forward with subsequent steps such as master planning, detailed design, or construction. The
objectives of the Feasibility Assessment process are:
Description of the Conversion Process
Data collection of existing overhead utility infrastructure
0 Review of general right of way conditions to assess potential easement acquisition needs
a Development of an order of magnitude opinion of cost for the program
0 Provide pertinent information on next steps.
Our detailed scope of services is based upon this understanding.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Kimley-Horn will request records of the existing power and communications facilities within the
Village from the respective utility owners. We will conduct one meeting with these providers to
describe the intent of the feasibility assessment and request ballpark cost estimates for
conversion of their facilities. Kimley-Horn will perform a visual review of existing overhead lines
within the project limits and document the approximate number of miles of overhead facilities that
exist. Kimley-Horn will compile the data collected to create a GIS base map showing the
approximate locations of existing overhead infrastructure throughout the project area.

Agenda Item #15.
Using publicly available information from the Village and Property Appraiser, we will evaluate
existing right of way widths and the need for above and below grade equipment necessary for the
conversion to determine if sufficient right of way exists for equipment placement or if easements
will be needed to support the conversion.
Kimley-Horn will develop a conceptual 'order of magnitude' opinion of probable construction cost
for the overhead to underground conversion. Costs will be provided in current dollars and based
upon historical information for similar projects available to Kilmley-Horn. The conceptual opinion
of probable construction cost for the project will most closely resemble an AACE International
Class 5 (Screening or feasibility) cost estimate.
Kimley-Horn will research funding opportunities and prepare a matrix of potential third -party
funding pursuits that could assist in offsetting the costs of the program. The matrix will provide
information such as the name of the funding source, a description of the possible use of the funds,
whether the source is a grant or a loan, specific terms/con itions of the source, and the deadline
for submitting an application. Preparation of applications is not included in this task but can be
provided in future authorizations.
Kimley-Horn will prepare a brief summary report of the feasibility assessment. We anticipate that
the document will contain the GIS base map developed during the assessment approximating the
locations of existing overhead utilities, the opinion of probable costs developed, and a brief
summary of the next steps should the Village decide to proceed further with a conversion project.
We will attend one meeting with Village staff to discuss the findings. We will respond to one round
of comments received from Village staff to finalize the report. We will prepare a brief PowerPoint
presentation and attend one Village Council meeting to present our findings and answer
questions. The presentation and summary will contain a description of the overall process
required to implement an overhead to underground conversion project.
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
Any services not specifically provided for in the above scope, as well as any changes in the scope
requested by the Village, will be considered additional services to this Work Authorization and will
be performed based on subsequent Work Authorizations approved prior to performance of the
