The estimated cost of this project is $67,000.00 and is due as anon-refundable contribution in aid of construction. Our facilities will be installed as shown on the attached sketch. The above figure is only an estimate. After the job has been completed, the actual cost will be determined and billed to the County. Execution of this document constitutes agreement by the County of Eagle to pay the actual cost in a timely manner. Our power facilities must be installed within an easement. Additional easements will be required should our proposed facilities not be placed within platted easements. Eagle County agrees to execute any additional easements required on Holy Cross Energy's standard form in a timely manner. Please forward us a copy of the latest deed showing current ownership of this project property. We will use this information to prepare a trench agreement and any additional easements required for signature. The following conditions are hereby noted: 1. The enclosed "Application For Electric Service" form must be completed, signed, and returned. 2. Lot corners or other locations will be provided by the developer as needed to ensure that our facilities are installed as shown on the attached sketch. Holy Cross Energy has implemented a policy which requires that project owners provide all excavation, backfill, U. G. boring, 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. 4. 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. 5. The route of our proposed underground power line extension must be at final grade and free of obstructions before power line construction is started. 6. 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. 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 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.
