Subject: RE: Replacement Cost for Transformer Pole

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.
