You may wish to speak to adjoining property owners to see if they're interested in participating with you. Requesting parties will pay any required engineering costs directly to PSCo and US West. If the undergrounding project is constructed, any engineering costs will be credited to the requestor's half of costs. When sufficient funding is available, the city approves the request for participation in the program. The participant also provides to PSCo and US West any required easements.
Projects proceed in the order that full payment and any required easements are received.
PSCo will cooperate with any other utilities such as cable TV to enable them to underground their facilities at no cost. The participant coordinates and pays directly for any other work required by the project not performed by PSCo or US West. The participant cost-share is based on the estimated cost not the actual cost. Any PSCo cost overruns or savings are covered or absorbed by the Undergrounding Credit. Undergrounding existing utilities is lower priority work for PSCo and US West than repairs and installing new services.
