Re: 172"d Street from Collins Avenue west to North Bay Road.
Dear Mr. Gombar:
The non-binding ~ballparK" estimate to convert the overhead electric distribution facilities located at the above mentioned
address in Sunnv Isle Beach. Florida, to an underground system is $435.000.00. This estimate is not an offer from FPL to
perform the requested conversion and should not be construed or used as such for detailed planning purposes. ,It is provided
strictly to assist your preliminary decision making.
This non-binding estimate is an "order of magnitude" estimate, and is based on previous FPL experience. However, due to
the complex nature and variables associated with this type of worK, the estimate may not accurately represent the actual cost
your community would be obligated to pay FPL to convert its facilities. A detailed and "binding" estimate will be provided,
should you decide based on this "ballparK" estimate, and will commence should you elect to pay the non-refundable
engineering deposit as setforth in Florida Administrative Code 25-6.115. The deposit is required due to the complexity and
time required to estimate such a conversion, and would be applied towards the estimated amount (known also as the CIAC
amount) owed to FPL for the conversion, should you decide to proceed with the worK contained in the estimate, and contract
for that work within 180 days of the date the estimate is provided.
FPL estimates include only estimated charges to be paid by the applicant to FPL. Costs associated with restoration of
property affected by the conversion; acquisition and recording of easements; "clearing" of trench routes; trenching,
backfilling, and conduit installation of individual service laterals; and rearrangement of customer service entrances have been
excluded. These elements of the conversion will be the responsibility of the applicant. Rearrangement of customer electric
service entrances may, in addition, impose additional customer expense if local inspecting authorities require customer
wiring to be brought to current codes. The applicant is also responsible for arrangements that must be made to
accommodate other utilities/pole licensees affected by the conversion.
Regarding easements, an underground electric distribution system cannot just simply replace an overhead system.
Typically, overhead systems exist as part of a county or municipal right-of-way, and when necessary, as part of a specific
easement. In contrast, an underground distribution system requires more space than is typically provided by road rights-of-
way and easements for overhead facilities. In underground systems, major components formerly attached to poles must now
occupy "at grade" appurtenances, e.g., ground level pad mounted transformers and switch cabinets. Facilities of an
underground distribution system will not be placed in road right-of-way, with the exception of cables required for crossings.
Additional easements will, in all likelihood, be required. Describing, securing, and recording easements, with opinions of title,
is the responsibility of the applicant.
Should you decide to request a detailed "binding" estimate, an engineering deposit in the amount of $22.680.00 would be
required before commencing with the detailed design and estimating process. The request for the estimate must be in
writing, and must describe in detail the facilities to be converted. Binding estimates are valid for 180 days, and would be
subject to change in the event of a worK scope change. Should actual FPL costs exceed the binding estimate amount, the
applicant may be responsible for those additional costs up to a maximum of 10% of the binding estimate amount. Payment
of the CIAC, easements (with opinion of title and recorded), agreements from other utilities/pole licensees, and execution of a
Conversion Agreement would be required before commencement of construction.
Should you have any questions or wish to consider a binding cost estimate, please call me at (305)770-7934.
Sincerely,
Ellis Clenton
Customer Project Manager
