Keith,
After a thorough investigation of the facts we feel like the decision to
charge the City’s contactor JRJ Paving LP for the time associated with
holding our pole is justified.
• We relocated our facilities at no cost due to the widening or
straightening of Bethel Road as prescribed in PURA §37.101 and further
detailed in the current Electric Franchise.
• We made these relocations based on the design the City provided. Our
Major Design group indicated they field checked this location with the
City’s Project Manager to assure appropriate clearances were available to
place the pole at that specific location
• On July 7 the City requested Oncor to secure the pole due to the
proximity of an 8” water line which was not discussed during the initial
field check meeting. We did agree to secure the pole and notified the City
there would be charges associated with this and JRJ Paving was billed and
has paid the invoice. In addition, on or about July 26, we were made aware
of another conflict at this location which required the Company to lower the
conduit and cable from the pole to miss an inlet that was associated with
the road construction. This work was completed at no cost to the City even
though the conflict was not identified by the City’s Project Manager when
facility locations were discussed.
With regard to Sec. 2 B of the Franchise; Oncor has complied with the intent
of this Section. The Company moved its facilities at no cost due to the road
widening.
Keith we feel like we have a very good working relationship with the City of
Coppell and we want to make sure that this continues even if we have minor
disagreements along the way. Thanks.
Please call me with any questions or concerns that you may have.

Subject: Fwd: Bethel Rd - Oncor Invoices and Change Order
Gentlemen,
JRJ Paving, Inc. sent us the attached billing information from Oncor
concerning a pole that was braced by Oncor to facilitate our Bethel Road
project. The position of the city is that this expense should be borne by
Oncor, and not billed to JRJ or to the city. Our position is based on the
ongoing reconstruction of Bethel Road.
I am also attaching Ordinance 90-493 that I believe to be the current
franchise agreement that Oncor operates under. Section 2-B discusses
supporting Oncor's facilities and indicates that it should be done at no
expense to the city.
I'm hereby requesting a refund of monies paid by JRJ to Oncor as shown on
the attached invoices. Feel free to call me to discuss this request.
Keith

Keith,
Attached is the change order associated with Oncor holding the telephone
pole for safety purposes while N TX Contracting made necessary
connections for the 16" and 8" water lines. I have also included the
actual invoices from Oncor and the checks written to them since JRJ was
billed for this. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact
me.
Thank you,
