Re PSE Sch 74 Conversion Project for the City of Bremerton 4 th St Alley Construction
Agreement
Dear Gary
Attached please find for your review and signature Puget Sound Energy's 1) estimate to
perform the overhead to underground conversion work for the 4 th St Alley conversion
project, 2) the Project Plan and 3) Project Construction Agreement The construction
estimate is based on the scope of work provided by the City and developed by PSE for
converting the existing overhead electrical facilities to underground facilities within the
conversion area
The PSE Construction Estimate is $284,164.00 The City's commitment is 40% of this
amount plus the cost of Total Underground Transformers (TUT's) which equals
$156,218.00 In addition, what this cost does NOT include is the City's estimated cost of
the duct and vault installation We have requested this estimate from the City on a
number of occasions Once this cost is included it will be listed as a 60/40 cost share
added to the cost provided above
PSE is prepared to perform this conversion work in conjunction with the city project

mutually agreed by the City and PSE.
Proiect Assumptions
The project design, construction plans and cost estimates are based on and reflect the following
assumptions Construction conditions that are not consistent with these assumptions may result
in a request for change or an equitable adjustment to protect compensation under Section 6 of the
Construction Agreement.
Cost Assumptions
1 The Construction Work will be performed in accordance with the Construction Drawings and
Construction Work Schedule
2. PSE's Project Manager will accept or reject (with written justification) the duct and vault
installation work performed by the City within five (5) business days notice of completion
from the City. In the event PSE rejects any of the ducts or vaults (with reasonable written
justification), the City will perform the necessary remedial work. The City will then re-
notify PSE and PSE shall have five (5) business days to accept or reject the remedial work
City of Bremerton
4 St Alley Underground Conversion Page 5
3. All PSE cables can be pulled through the ducts and vaults system, including existing ducts
and vaults if applicable, to be used for the Conversion Project utilizing normal cable pulling
equipment and methods
4. A City Street Use permit is the only permit necessary for PSE to perform its work for this
Conversion Project and will be issued within two (2) weeks of PSE submitting a complete
permit application (including any supporting documentation reasonably required by the
City) There will be no charge for the permit or inspection fees
5 The estimated daily productivity rate for PSE duct and vault installation is based on the City's
contractor opening a minimum of 40 feet of trench per working day. The daily productivity
rate is used to estimate the number of days a PSE Inspector will be required during installation
of ducts & vaults. The Inspector will be scheduled in full day increments and in one
continuous effort. Changes to a continuous schedule require a minimum of five days advance
notice and must be mutually agreed between the City and PSE.
6 Traffic control provided by PSE assumes the use of two flaggers, basic signage and simple
channelization while working arterial Right of Ways Flagging has not been included while
working in the alley. If this becomes necessary, the additional cost will be covered by
Change Order
7 Work to be performed by PSE does not include installation and/or removal of Temporary
Service facilities at the request of others during construction
8 All cut -over and transfer work will be completed during regular working hours
9 New guy anchors shall be installed prior to installation of new ducts in the same area
10 When Fluidized Thermal Backfill (FTB) is used, associated cost will be allocated 100% to
PSE when required for a Company Initiated Upgrade and otherwise 100% to the City
11 Installation of protective bollards may be necessary at some locations and may not be
included in the protect design. In the event unplanned bollards are required, associated costs
will be a Shared Cost
Schedule
1 There will be a total of three (3) PSE crew mobilizations as follows one mobilization of an
underground line crew for installation of underground conductors and equipment on the east
end of the project and a second mobilization for installation of underground conductors and
equipment on the west end of the project. The third mobilization of an overhead line crew
will be for removal of the existing overhead facilities on the entire project Once mobilized
PSE crews will have continuous productive work until all PSE Construction Work is
complete If all of the planned work within any given mobilization can not be completed in a
continuous effort, and rescheduling of the crew is required, additional costs will be covered
by change order.
2 All PSE Construction Work will be performed during regular working hours from 8:00 am to
5 00 excluding holidays In the event that lane closures are necessary for performance of
work, PSE shall be limited to working between the hours of 8 00 am to 5 PSE and the
City will mutually agree to weekly work schedules for the Construction Work. PSE shall be
allowed to perform PSE work as scheduled without changes or interruptions caused by other
construction activities
City of Bremerton
4 th St Alley Underground Conversion Page 6
3 Work requiring scheduled interruption of electric service (cut -overs and transfers) will be
performed during the working hours specified in Schedule Assumption #2 above, and will be
scheduled with at least two (2) business days notice PSE will notify customers of scheduled
service interruptions.
Additional Considerations
Service Lines
Service lines within the Conversion Area must be modified or replaced to provide underground
service from the Underground Distribution System as described in and listed in the Construction
Drawings Performance of the work and associated costs shall be governed by PSE Tariff
Schedule 85 and will be schedule with Potelco service crews
Cut -overs and Transfers
PSE customers within the Conversion Area will experience interruption of electric service during
performance of the Construction Work when transferring system and customer loads from the
overhead distribution system to the Underground Distribution System PSE will notify customers
at least two (2) business days in advance of expected service interruptions Customers may
request that cut -over and transfer work affecting their service be performed outside the regular
working hours listed above subject to the customer's written agreement to reimburse PSE for the
additional cost (at overtime rates) to perform such work outside the regular working hours
New Service
Connection of new or increased load for City facilities (such as new traffic signals) under terms
of PSE Tariff Schedule 85 will be addressed on a separate work order and work sketch
Additional costs may apply and will be quoted separately
PSE Design & Construction Standards
This Conversion Project has been designed and will be constructed in accordance with PSE
design and construction standards in effect as of the date of this Project Plan PSE standards
applicable to Construction Work to be performed by the City have been provided to the City in
PSE's "Electric Distribution Trench/Duct/Vault Construction Standards, 2009 ". All relevant
PSE standard described above are attached to this Project Plan by this reference
Temporary Support (Holding) of PSE Poles
Whenever any pole(s) are required to be temporarily supported (held) due to excavation in
proximity to such poles, the City will coordinate with PSE to provide such support The need to
temporarily support such poles shall be determined by PSE, and if required, such support shall be
provided by PSE. As used herein, "temporary support" means supporting one or more poles for
a continuous working period of ten hours or less.
