ITEM SUMMARY:
On February 20, 2023, the City Council approved Resolution No. 23-R-0007, awarding a construction
contract for the First Floor and Lower Level Renovation Project at 200 Main St. The Project construction
is underway.
One of the major items of concern that has risen during the Project construction is the electrical service.
The current electrical service to the building is a single phase 120/240 volt. The proposed service to the
building is a three phase 120/208 Volt. In general, the three-phase service is more appropriate for
industrial, manufacturing and certain types of retail uses. The three-phase service is also more efficient
and power supply is more consistent if voltage dips occur. While the Project team believes the 200 Main
Street building can operate with a single-phase service, a three-phase electrical service is more
appropriate for the proposed use of the building.
The issue is that ComEd does not have a true three-phase transformer near 200 Main Street. City staff
has been working with ComEd to provide a three-phase transformer along Turner Court, which can serve
the 200 Main Street building. Staff has successfully worked with ComEd to oversize the proposed three-
phase transformer, such that, if any future redevelopment along the same strip requiring a three-phase
service, the transformer will be able to accommodate it. In other words, the proposed three-phase
transformer will be a community transformer that can be used by any future development along the same
strip. ComEd has prepared a Customer Work Agreement to install a three-phase transformer along the
Turner Court rights-of-way. The cost of such is estimated to be $25,034.36.
Staff recommends approval of the Customer Work Agreement for $25,034.36. This project will be paid for
using Capital Project Funds in which $1,800,000.00 is budgeted for in account 08-34-53-4818. The
estimated timeline to complete the work is approximately six to nine months, subject to availability of the
three-phase transformer. Please note the delay in installation of the transformer will also delay the
completion of the Project, which is currently November 21, 2023.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Approve Resolution No. 23-R-0057 authorizing the Mayor to approve the ComEd Customer Work
Agreement for installation of a Three-Phase Transformer along Turner Court in the amount of $25,034.36
