All civil work including trenching, conduits, vaults <br /> and other infrastructure work will be performed by a contractor through the competitive bid process. <br /> Electrical work will be performed by Energy Delivery field forces. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT: <br /> The capital expenditure for the project is estimated to be $214,000, which includes all construction, <br /> contingencies, construction management, inspection and design, as summarized in the following table: <br /> % Of <br /> Total <br /> Construction-Electric Conduit & Structures $20,000.00 9% <br /> Construction-RPU Electrical Work $180,000.00 84% <br /> Design, Construction Management, Inspection $10,000.00 5% <br /> Contingency $4,000.00 2% <br /> Total: $214,000.00 100 % <br /> Funds are budgeted and available for this project in the Major Feeders Account No. 6130000-470633. <br /> Prepared by: Stephen H.
