Reference: Relocation of facilities from overhead to underground on LaPorte Rd. near
Bopp St. and Grimm St. in Waterloo, IA. MX: 3218968
To Whom it May Concern:
In response to your request, MidAmerican Energy Company has reviewed the above
project and your request for relocation of our overhead electric system. To facilitate your
request for conversion of these overhead distribution facilities to an underground system,
we have prepared a design proposal for an estimated total of $498,708.02 that would
remove the overhead facilities and install them underground in conduit supplied and
installed by MidAmerican Energy Co. Since the cost of this project is over $100,000.00,
City is required by tariff to pay actual costs upon completion of the work, which could
result in an additional charge or a lesser cost to the City. Actual cost will be billed to the
City upon completion of our installation. Enclosed are our drawings showing the route of
that relocation.
This proposal provides the terms and conditions for relocation of our electric distribution
facilities only. If adjustments to streetlight facilities are required, the terms and conditions
for those projects will be included on a separate proposal.
This proposal is valid for 90 days and assumes MidAmerican will be allowed to
commence construction within 12 months of the proposal date. Specifically,
MidAmerican proposes to;
1. Remove overhead distribution facilities as shown on the attached drawings.
2. Furnish and install underground cable, switchgears and other pad mounted
equipment as shown on attached drawings.

1. Notify, facilitate and compel all other utilities located on MidAmerican Energy
company's poles to relocate to underground.
2. City shall grade the underground primary cable route for direct burial cable to
within four inches of final grade and clear the cable route of construction
materials, obstructions, and ECT. This grading and clearing shall be done as
required to facilitate MidAmerican's schedule for cable installation with no
unreasonable delays. In the event of any failure of the City to provide grade
preparation according to these specifications or failure of the City to clear any
known obstructions in the proposed facility route, the City shall reimburse
MidAmerican for all incremental costs incurred by MidAmerican or its
contractors resulting from this failure.
3. The City shall coordinate the transfer of any residential and commercial services
to existing customers.
4. The City shall furnish, stake and maintain easements for the duration of the
project for all MidAmerican Energy pad mounted electrical equipment as shown
on drawings.
5. The City shall perform all site restoration necessitated by installation of
underground facilities.
6. The City shall stake elevations and Right of Way along the underground cable
path and maintain staking for the duration of project.
7. This proposal assumes that MidAmerican Energy will not be required to perform
any temporary relocations of the overhead system, and can leave it in place and
operable until the completion of the installation of the new underground facilities.
Any incremental costs incurred by MidAmerican for such temporary
modifications shall be paid by the City.
8. The City shall pay all costs incurred by MidAmerican Energy resulting from
design changes or field changes made by the City that deviate from the plans
provided by the City for preparation of this proposal.
9. If MidAmerican Energy is required to start construction during the winter season,
this work may be subject to a winter construction charge.
