Re: Miller Ranch Playground
Dear Jason:
Holy Cross Energy has completed a design and cost estimate for providing electric service to the above
referenced project, hereinafter the "Project". Our facilities will be installed as shown on the attached
sketch. The owner or developer of the subject Project is hereinafter referred to as the "Owner".
The estimated cost of construction is as follows:
Total estimated cost of underground
construction $38,300.00
Construction deposit consisting of
equivalent overhead credits (refundable) $35,000.00
Contribution in aid of construction
(nonrecoverable) 3.300.00
Total payment required before
starting work on the project $38,300.00
The above figures are only estimates. After the job has been completed, the actual cost of construction
will be determined. The Owner's contribution and deposit will be adjusted to reflect the actual cost by
making a refund or further assessment. Execution of this document constitutes the Owner's 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.
Our power facilities must be installed on an easement. Please execute and return the enclosed document.
The following conditions are hereby noted:
1. Holy Cross Energy has implemented a policy which requires that the Owner provide all excavation,
backfill, compaction and cleanup needed for installation of the underground power system
extension to serve the Project. 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
attached Trench Agreement must be properly executed by the Owner and returned prior to the
start of excavation.
2. The route of our proposed underground power line extension must be at final grade and free of
obstructions before power line construction is started.
3. It shall be the Owner's responsibility to ensure that splice vaults, switchgear vaults and
transformer vaults installed hereunder for the Project 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 (l 0) feet of said transformer and switchgear doors shall be flat, level

6_ 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.
7. It will be the Owner's responsibility to extend underground secondary entrance conductors from
the pad-mounted transformer to points of power usage.
8. 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.
9. The meter housing must be positioned so the meter faces a driveway or road.
10. Motor protection from phase loss and other voltage problems should be provided. This
equipment shall be installed and maintained at the expense of the Owner.
1l. It shall be the Owner'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.
12. 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.
13 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.
14. All Holy Cross Energy rules and regulations will be followed.
When Holy Cross Energy is in receipt of the Owner's check in the amount of $38,300.00, 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.
Sincerely,
Keith Hernandez,
Engineering Department
