Where Service Does Not Exist
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.
