RE: 488 Castle Creek Rd Planned Development
Dear jack,
Holy Cross Energy has completed a design and cost estimate for providing electric service to the above
referenced project, hereinafter the "Project". Our facilities will be installed as shown on the attached
sketch. The owner or developer of the subject Project is hereinafter referred to as the "Owner".
The estimated cost of construction is as follows:
Total estimated cost of underground
construction $39,200.00
Construction deposit consisting of
equivalent overhead credits (refundable) $26,100.00
Contribution in aid of construction
(non-recoverable) $ 13,100.00
Standard Construction Allowance $(1,000)
Total payment required before
starting work on the project $38,200.00
The above figures are only estimates. After the job has been completed, the actual cost of construction
will be determined. The Owner's contribution and deposit will be adjusted to reflect the actual cost by
making a refund or further assessment. Execution of this document constitutes the Owner's agreement to
pay any further assessment in a timely manner. Adjusted construction deposits are available for refund
over a ten year period as specified by Holy Cross Energy's Line Extension Policy. Refunds will be paid to
City of Aspen unless otherwise directed in writing.
Our power facilities must be installed on an easement. Please execute and return the enclosed document.
The following conditions are hereby noted:
1. A Load Form must be submitted for this project. These forms are available on-line and can be
by visiting ww.holycross.com
2. Holy Cross Energy has implemented a policy which requires that the Owner provide all excavation,
backfill, compaction and cleanup needed for installation of the underground power system
extension to serve the Project. The Owner must also set all vaults and install all conduits as
specified by Holy Cross Energy's design for the Project and the enclosed construction
specifications. Holy Cross Energy will supply all material which can be picked up by the Owner at
the appropriate storage yard. The cost of this material is included in the job cost estimate. The
attached Trench, Conduit, and Vault Agreement must be properly executed by the Owner and
returned prior to the start of excavation.

3. No excavation will be undertaken within five (5) feet of existing underground power lines except
under the on site supervision of a Holy Cross Energy employee.
4. It shall be the Owner's responsibility to ensure that splice vaults, switchgear vaults and
transformer vaults installed hereunder for the Project are accessible by Holy Cross boom trucks
and other necessary equipment and personnel at all times. The use of such access by Holy Cross
shall not require removal or alteration of any improvements, landscaping, or other obstructions.
The ground surface grade shall not be altered within ten (1 0) feet of said splice, switchgear and
transformer vaults, nor along the power line route between the vaults. The ground surface grade
at said transformer and switchgear vaults shall be six (6) inches below the top of the pad. The
ground surface grade at said splice vaults shall be even with the top of the pad. The manhole
opening of said splice vaults shall be uncovered (excluding snow) and accessible at all times.
Improvements, landscaping or any other objects placed in the vicinity of said transformers and
switchgear shall be located so as not to hinder complete opening of the equipment doors. The
ground surface within ten (10) feet of said transformer and switchgear doors shall be flat, level
and free of improvements, landscaping, and other obstructions. Improvements, landscaping and
other objects will be kept a minimum of four(4) feet from non-opening sides and backs of said
transformers and switchgear. Owner hereby agrees to maintain the requirements of this
paragraph and further agrees to correct any violations which may occur as soon as notified by
Holy Cross Energy. Said corrections will be made at the sole cost and expense of Owner.
5. There is no provision in our estimate for revegetation. Revegetation, if required, must be
provided by parties other than Holy Cross Energy.
6. Secondary voltage available will be 208Y/1 20, three-phase.
7. Secondary facilities shall be installed in accordance with National Electrical Code and Holy Cross
Energy specifications. All meter locations must be approved. Any service over 200 amps or 240
volts must have prior written approval from Holy Cross Energy.
8. It will be the Owner's responsibility to extend underground secondary entrance conductors from
the pad-mounted transformer, or junction box, to points of power usage.
9. All underground services shall be installed in conduit ahead of the meter. All underground
services must be in conduit beneath roads, driveways, and other areas of difficult excavation.
10. Low voltage starting will be required on all three-phase motors larger than 25 HP and all single-
phase motors larger than 10 HP.
1 1. Motor protection from phase loss and other voltage problems should be provided. This
equipment shall be installed and maintained at the expense of the Owner.
12. The above mentioned cost estimate does not include connect fees or meter deposits, if required.
Arrangements for payment of these items and for scheduling the actual meter installation should
be made through the local Holy Cross Energy office.
1 3. We attempt to complete all projects in a timely manner. However, highest priority is given to
maintaining service to our existing consumers. This fact, along with inevitable construction
delays, will not allow us to guarantee a project completion date.
14. All Holy Cross Energy rules and regulations will be followed.

necessary executed easements, other permits, if required, a completed "Residential Load Form" or

NOW, THEREFORE, Owner and Holy Cross agree as follows:
1 . Owner shall provide all excavation, conduit and vault installation, backfill, compaction and cleanup necessary for

then it shall be the Owner's responsibility, at the Owner's sole cost, to correct the access and make it acceptable, as
determined solely by Holy Cross.
11 . Owner covenants that it is the owner of the above described Property and that said Property is free and clear of
