RE: Miller Ranch Road Recreation Parcel Phase I - Electric Service to Irrigation Pump
Dear Mr. Cunningham:
We have completed a design and cost estimate for providing electric service to the above referenced
project. Our facilities will be installed as shown on the attached sketch.
Holy Cross Energy, a Colorado corporation, estimates that the cost of construction will be as follows:
Total estimated cost of underground
construction $37,000.00
Construction deposit consisting of
equivalent overhead credits (refundable) $33,000.00
Contribution in aid of construction
(nonrecoverable) 4,000.00
Total payment required before
starting work on the project $37,000.00
The above figures are only estimates. After the job has been completed the actual cost will be
determined. Eagle County agrees to pay the actual costs in a timely manner upon being billed.
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
necessary additional easements in our 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 easement required for signature.
The following conditions are hereby noted:
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, 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.
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'shail 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. 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. There is no provision in our estimate for revegetation. Revegetation, if required, must be
provided by parties other than Holy Cross Energy.
8. Secondary voltage available will be 480Y/277, three-phase.
9. 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.
10. It will be your responsibility to extend underground secondary entrance conductors from the pad -
mounted transformer to points of power usage.
11. 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.
12. The meter housing must be positioned so the meter faces a driveway or road.
13. Low voltage starting will be required on all three-phase motors larger than 25 HP and all single-
phase motors larger than 10 HP.
14, 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.
15. 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.
16. 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.
IT 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.
is. All Holy Cross Energy rules and regulations will be followed.
When Holy Cross Energy is in receipt of all necessary executed easements, other permits, if required, and
the signed original of this letter agreement (below), the job can be scheduled for construction.
Sincerely,
HOLY CROSS ENERGY
