Overhead to Underground Electric Conversion

• Feasibility study and construction estimates complete. Estimate for construction is $65,000.
• City would contribute 50% of the total of the construction using the Non-Standard Service Fund.
• If the work outlined in the project scope exceeds the estimated costs, there will not be additional charges to the City. If there are unforeseen issues not outlined in the scope, the City would be notified of additional costs, also split 50/50.
• Dominion Energy provided a construction agreement for the City to execute. Once executed, DE can begin scheduling the construction of the project for the fall/winter of 2022.

• Dominion Energy received final drawings from contractor and is working on preparing packet to submit to SCDOT for the encroachment permit.
• Contractor requested lane closures during construction; Dominion Energy working on traffic control plans.
• City’s share of construction (50%) included in FY23 Capital Plan. Construction slated for Fall/Winter 2022.

• Dominion Energy very close to having bore profiles for the SCDOT permit and final design drawings
  Bore profiles have not been completed yet. Necessary for final design and final construction estimate.
• A bore profile is a drawing that shows the depth of the new conduit being installed relative to the existing utilities and ensures that there is a good enough window for this conduit to be drilled in without damaging any of the other existing utilities.
