Box 850 Eagle, CO 81632 g Re: Revised Estimate, Eagle County Airport Underground Electric Dear Mr. Cunningham: We have completed a revised design and cost estimate for providing electric service to the above referenced project. Holy Cross Energy, a Colorado corporation, estimates that the cost of construction will be as follows: Total estimated cost of underground construction $22,300.00 Construction deposit consisting of equivalent overhead credits (refundable) $17,600.00 Contribution in aid of construction (nonrecoverable) 4.700.00 Total payment required before starting work on the project $22,300.00 Less prepayment received ( 3,760.00) Additional payment required $18,540.00 The above figures are only estimates. After the job has been completed, the actual cost of construction will be determined. Your contribution and deposit will be adjusted to reflect the actual cost by making a refund or further assessment. Execution of this document constitutes agreement to pay any further assessment in a timely manner. Adjusted construction deposits are available for refund over a ten year period as specified by Holy Cross Energy's Line Extension Policy. The following conditions are hereby noted: 1. The enclosed "Application For Electric Service" form must be completed, signed, and returned. 2. Holy Cross Energy has implemented a policy which requires that project owners provide all excavation, backfill, compaction and cleanup needed for installation of the underground power system extension to serve their new development. The owner must also set all vaults and install all conduits as specified by Holy Cross Energy's design for the project and the enclosed construction specifications. Holy Cross Energy will supply all material which can be picked up by the owner at the appropriate storage yard. The cost of this material is included in the job cost estimate. The previously sent Trench Agreement must be properly executed and returned prior to the start of excavation. 3. No excavation will be undertaken within five (5) feet of existing underground power lines except under the on site supervision of a qualified Holy Cross Energy employee. 4. The route of our proposed underground power line extension must be at final grade and free of obstructions before power line construction is started. 5. All water lines, sewer lines, or other excavations in conflict with our proposed facilities must be completed, backfilled and clearly marked before power line construction can be started. 6. It shall be the Owner's responsibility to insure that splice vaults, switchgear vaults and transformer vaults installed hereunder on said real property are accessible by Holy Cross boom trucks and other necessary equipment and personnel at all times. The use of such access by Holy Cross shall not require removal or alteration of any improvements, landscaping, or other obstructions. The ground surface grade shall not be altered within ten (10) feet of said splice, switchgear and transformer vaults, nor along the power line route between the vaults. The ground surface grade at said transformer and switchgear vaults shall be six (6) inches below the top of the pad. The ground surface grade at said splice vaults shall be even with the top of the pad. The manhole opening of said splice vaults shall be uncovered (excluding snow) and accessible at all times. Improvements, landscaping or any other objects placed in the vicinity of Rich Cunningham October 16, 2001 Page Two said transformers and switchgear shall be located so as not to hinder complete opening of the equipment doors. The ground surface within ten (10) feet of said transformer and switchgear doors shall be flat, level and free of improvements, landscaping, and other obstructions. Improvements, landscaping and other objects will be kept a minimum of four (4) feet from non - opening sides and backs of said transformers and switchgear. Owner hereby agrees to maintain the requirements of this paragraph and further agrees to correct any violations which may occur as soon as notified by Holy Cross. Said corrections will be made at the sole cost and expense of Owner. 7. Secondary voltage available will be 208Y/120, three - phase. 8. Secondary facilities shall be installed in accordance with National Electrical Code and Holy Cross Energy specifications. All meter locations must be approved. Any service over 200 amps or 240 volts must have prior written approval from Holy Cross Energy. 9. It will be your responsibility to extend underground secondary entrance conductors from the pad - mounted transformer to points of power usage. 10. All underground services shall be installed in conduit ahead of the meter. All underground services must be in conduit beneath roads, driveways, and other areas of difficult excavation. 11. The meter housing must be positioned so the meter faces a driveway or road. 12. Low voltage starting will be required on all three -phase motors larger than 25 HP and all single - phase motors larger than 10 HP. 13. Motor protection from phase loss and other voltage problems should be provided. This equipment shall be installed and maintained at the expense of the consumer. 14. It shall be the consumer's responsibility to protect their electric equipment from temporary over voltage or under voltage situations resulting from causes beyond the control of Holy Cross Energy. 15. The above mentioned cost estimate does not include connect fees or meter deposits, if required. Arrangements for payment of these items and for scheduling the actual meter installation should be made through the local Holy Cross Energy office. 16. We attempt to complete all projects in a timely manner. However, highest priority is given to maintaining service to our existing consumers. This fact, along with inevitable construction delays, will not allow us to guarantee a project completion date. 17. All Holy Cross Energy rules and regulations will be followed. When Holy Cross Energy is in receipt of your check in the amount of $18,540.00, all necessary executed easements, other permits, if required, a completed "Application For Electric Service" form, the executed trench agreement, and the signed original of this letter agreement (below), the job can be scheduled for construction.
