Phase 2—Design and Permitting Step 4. FP&L Tariff Agreement: FP&L has a program in place for municipal undergrounding projects. Under the conditions of the program the CITY would enter into an agreement with FP&L. The agreement would require a non-refundable deposit to FP&L for design services resulting in the following: • 85%design with sufficient detail for permit submittal(FP&L services only). • A firm cost for installation (assumes turn-key project from FP&L). • An outline for credit and conditions(up to 25%credit available). • 180-day window for acceptance(extensions likely but with potential for additional cost). Obviously the ability of FP&L to respond will depend upon the complexity of the request, but the general response time for design projects is 16 weeks upon receipt of 10% design deposit. It is important to note that FP&L design will only address FP&L services. Plans will need to be coordinated with other utilities to further define project requirements. Step 5. Utility Coordination: Once complete, the FP&L design requires coordination with other utilities. Pole-line agreements need to be severed and new easement and/or right-of-way agreements prepared. Street Lighting needs to be designed to replace the Cobra-heads removed with existing power poles. General coordination with existing utilities needs to include location of traffic signalization boxes, pull boxes, transformers, switchgear, and water/sewer services. Service connections across private properties need to be addressed. As a condition of the Tariff Agreement, FP&L will obligate the CITY to see that service connections are Made within the agreed upon timeframe. With the elimination of overhead poles, private services and transformers will be dropped. Discussions need to include potential phasing.of Work.as related to the specific utility. It may be that a component that defines the phase limits for one utility does not coincide with component defining phasing for another. Step 6. Prepare Construction Documents: Once all of the design issues and requireients have been identified, construction documents coordinating and addressing utility concerns are prepared. These plans are used for circulation athorig Stakeholders for confirmation of improvements and submittal to appropriate perinit•agencies. Final Plans will be used in bid documents. At this stage, in addition to firm estimates from FP&L, an estimated cost of Other utility relocation will be compared against the project budget.
