Document Description
The Department of General Services/Real Estate Services Division (DGS/RESD) proposes to approve a request for a utility easement and a right-of-entry permit to the University of Southern California (USC). The right-of-entry permit would allow USC to use State property (California Science Center) for equipment storage. Additionally, DGS/RESD proposes to grant a utility easement to USC to construct and install approximately 1,600 feet of underground telecommunication duct bank within Exposition Boulevard, a public roadway across State-owned property. The duct bank would be installed between Figueroa Street and Watt Way and is located approximately 17 feet north of the southern curb in Exposition Boulevard. The duct bank links the new USC data center to its main campus.
The USC project will drill concrete/asphalt in the roadway to drop encased duct bank containing four-4" diameter PVC conduits measuring 17 inches in width by 17 inches in height. The top of the concrete encasement is located 48 inches below street level. A total of 3 manholes measuring 5 feet (length) by 8.5 feet (width) by 6.5 feet (high) are also proposed within the right-of-way along the route of the duct bank. The City of Los Angeles has reviewed and approved the project activities. Construction time is estimated to be approximately 2 weeks.
