If there are no distribution lines near a necessary electrical service location, the utility company can provide cost estimates for extending service to these points. This cost should be charged to the project under a force account function code.

The contractor must consult with the appropriate utility company to determine cost and requirements, and must coordinate the utility work as approved by the engineer. The contractor will be reimbursed only the amount billed by the utility; no additional amount for supervision of the utility’s work will be paid.
