Subject: RE: Replacement Cost for Transformer Pole

FYI

To all,

The following is an excerpt copied from MLGW's 2011 Service Policy:

D. No use, however lengthy, of any of MLGW’s facilities, and no payment of any

fees, charges or other compensation required under these Terms & Conditions,

shall create or vest in LICENSEE any easements or other ownership or property

rights of any nature in any portion of such facilities.

After issuance of any Permit, LICENSEE shall be and remain a licensee.

Neither these Terms & Conditions, nor any Permit granted under these Terms &

Conditions, shall constitute an assignment of any of MLGW’s rights to the MLGW

facilities.

The pole is owned and maintained by MLGW.  Any cost of replacing a pole for

whatever reason is an expense to MLGW.  The Licensee is responsible only as far

as the attachment itself for removal and installation should the pole have to be

replaced by MLGW. The Licensee pays a contracted amount each month to MLGW for a

right of attachment.

Ken:

Does your pole change out estimate include the costs incurred by the other joint

users of the pole such as the telephone or TV cable companies for transferring

their equipment from the old to the new pole?

Sometimes too, the pole is owned by one of the other joint users and you may

have to wait until they can begin their work before the power co. can act.  Time

is an important issue.  All of this can add to the cost of change out.

Subject: Replacement Cost for Transformer Pole

Richard and Committee:

     Attached is a spreadsheet showing the cost to replace an existing

pole in a three‐phase distribution circuit with an existing

single‐phase  

distribution transformer mounted on it.  This information was developed

to estimate the cost to replace an existing pole with a new, higher  

strength pole required because of the increased weight of the  

distribution transformer.  This estimate represents the cost to do this

for my Cooperative.

     Other Utilities will be furnishing this information for their

systems.
