Keith,
Just so you are aware, I received this from ONCOR (Karen Eastman).
Some critical parts highlighted.
Chris
By the way, I didn't ask for the cost estimate. I'm assuming it was Yancey.

Gentlemen,
It is my understanding that you would like a cost figure for the Old Town Coppell development. I am not
sure what type of cost you are looking for. Are you looking for an estimate to serve the first two cottages
that will go in west of the Main Street entrance? We could probably give you a budgetary cost for these
two buildings. An exact cost can't be done until we have a plat and site plans for the buildings. I have
load but without plans that I can put in the Oncor land base, the estimate will be budgetary only.
Oncor has provided a preliminary design and conduit layout and we have discussed that the conduit
system along all the streets should be installed by the customer and inspected by Oncor. Since there
aren't immediate plats/plans for any buildings on the property, the installation will be conduit only and will
not include any wire or transformers (with the possible exception of transformers to serve streetlights).
Once we have plans for the individual buildings, Oncor will use the $127.00 per kw allowance to serve
the commercial properties. As I have indicated all along, the allowance will not likely cover all the cost
since the load requirements for each building is very low. Since the buildings will not be built
simultaneously we will be forced to abandon conduit runs and re-route cable and conduit to serve the
buildings in the order in which they are built. There is no way to estimate these costs due to the
variables I have mentioned.
I have indicated in our meetings that the townhome portion of the project should likely fall within our
allowable expenditure. I can't say for sure but I don't anticipate a cost there.

From Rick, I understand that decorative street lighting has been chosen for the development. The
Philadelphia/Hanover style lights will not fall within the $2,000 (each light) Oncor streetlight allowance.
You will minimize your cost since you are putting in the conduit and foundations. The design Rick has
drawn for the streetlights is to source them from surrounding streets along the edge of the development.
If you develop some of the buildings quickly, the cost to serve the streetlights would change since Rick
might source some of the lights from the transformers meant to serve the buildings. I have not been
present during the streetlight discussions, I think this was done prior to the overall development meetings
I have attended. Is this the cost you are looking for?
I would like to propose a meeting with you, the designer and his lead, and my supervisor and I so that we
can all understand what your concerns and expectations are. My schedule is pretty full this week and
next week I have meetings already scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday mornings. I believe the
designer has something already scheduled for next Wednesday. Is there any time next week that will
work for us to meet to discuss this development? Should we meet prior to the utility meeting already
scheduled for Tuesday afternoon?
I look forward to hearing from you,
Thank You,
Karen Eastman
