ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM PROPOSAL
MX: 6732795
MidAmerican Energy Company, an Iowa Corporation, its successors and assigns and
City of Waterloo ("Applicant"), agree as follows:
1. Applicant has platted in the City of Waterloo, Iowa an Official Plat known as
Parkview Manor and has divided the same into numbered lots for building
purposes as shown in the plat attached hereto.
2. MidAmerican Energy Company furnishes electric service in Waterloo, Iowa and
is willing to provide electric service to lots in Parkview Manor and to install
underground electric distribution facilities upon the terms and conditions set forth
in this proposal. Electric distribution is defined as that utility plant normally
operated at fewer than 15,000 volts, constructed on public right-of-way or
easements, and normally intended to provide service to more than one customer.
Service conductors installed between the distribution system and the customer's
point of attachment are not provided for in this proposal. This proposal is valid for
90 days and if MidAmerican Energy Company construction has not commenced
within 12 months it may be voided.
3. MidAmerican Energy Company agrees to engage in construction in consideration
of the receipt of $50,806.54, which is a Refundable Advance. MidAmerican
Energy Company agrees to construct the necessary underground electric
distribution facilities as set forth below:
a. Install primary and secondary distribution conductors to serve lots one (1)
through sixteen (16) within said development.
b. Install transformers as required to serve the individual lots. Transformers
may be installed at the time of cable installation or, at MidAmerican
Energy Company’s option, be installed when individual building
construction is started. Costs are included in paragraph 3 above.
c. MidAmerican Energy Company will not provide streetlights under the
terms of this proposal.
4. Pursuant to MidAmerican Energy Company’s electric tariff, Refundable
Advances are paid by the customer prior to construction, and may be refunded in
whole or in part based upon the following terms and conditions. Nonrefundable
Contributions, which cover expenses such as excess facilities and installation of
temporary facilities, are not subject to any refund. If a permit is required for
design approval and the local government agency requests a modification of the
proposed design, any additional cost incurred will be paid by the applicant and

conversely if the modification results in a lower cost a refund will be issued.
If the estimated cost of construction is over $100,000, Applicant is required by
tariff to pay actual costs upon completion of the work, which could result in an
additional charge or a refund to the Applicant.
a. The Refundable Advance is equal to the amount identified in section 3.
b. Refundable Advance shall be subject to refund to the Applicant for a ten-
year period from the date of the original Refundable Advance payment.
c. Refundable Advance shall not accrue interest.
d. Refunds shall be made annually on or about the anniversary date of the
original advance payment.
e. Annual refunds will be based on the number of new customers at the
identified lots that have directly connected to the electric distribution
expansion in the prior year. The amount refunded will be equal to the
estimated three-year base revenue from those customers less any
additional costs to extend service to them. Base revenue is equal to
estimated annual revenue, less fuel expenses and energy efficiency cost
recovery charges, based on revenue received from similarly situated
customers. Base revenue amounts to be applied to new customers are re-
estimated each year using the most current information available and may
adjust upward or downward depending on the circumstances.
f. No refunds shall be made for revenue received after ten (10) years from
the date of the original advance payment.
g. At no time shall the total of refunds exceed the original Refundable
Advance payment.
h. No refunds shall be made for customers served from a further extension of
the above described electric line extension. Distribution System
Expansions without end-user attachments shall not be eligible for refunds
unless the following circumstances are met: If a Distribution System
Expansion connected during the ten-year period off of an already existing
Distribution System Expansion, the Revenue Credit shall be applied to the
new Expansion first. Any Revenue Credit remaining shall be applied to
the connected existing Expansions provided that they have not received a
full reimbursements for its Refundable Advance and are within the ten-
year attachment period. The Revenue Credit will continue to apply to
connected existing Expansions until the Revenue Credit is either
exhausted, the ten-year attachment period has closed, or all Refundable
Advances have been reimbursed in full. Total refunds for any Expansion

shall not exceed the original Refundable Advance.
5. If the installation is underground and MidAmerican Energy Company is caused
by Applicant to work during winter construction season, Applicant agrees to pay
the additional costs as a Refundable Advance for all required trenching, bell
holes, pedestals and transformer basements. Additional cost incurred for extra
work by such conditions as obstructions or changes in grade shall be charged to
the developer or applicant.
6. Pursuant to MidAmerican’s tariff, the Applicant is required to pay actual permit
fees. Permit fees may not be offset by Revenue Credit and are to be paid
regardless of whether the applicant is required to pay a Refundable Advance or a
Nonrefundable Contribution.
7. MidAmerican Energy Company, at its option, may install aerial electric facilities
to provide temporary electric service to any lot in the development pending the
completion of final grading or other permanent improvements to the premises.
When such temporary electric service is furnished, the expense of installation and
removal, less salvage, shall be paid by the applicant.
8. Nothing herein contained shall obligate MidAmerican Energy Company to extend
its electric facilities or provide electric service to the premises or property outside
the platted limits of the development.
9. Applicant shall:
a. Provide MidAmerican Energy Company with check indicated in paragraph
3. Such payment amount may be subject to change if not submitted to

final grade and clear the route of construction materials, obstructions, etc.

drawings (as needed) and stake the ends of the conduit.
d. Stake all lot corners.
e. Provide, without cost to MidAmerican Energy Company, such easements
as are necessary and incidental to such installation and use of

obtaining the easement will be paid by the Applicant. Applicant will

underground wiring prior to MidAmerican Energy Company's
construction.
g. Provide three (3) copies of committed plat showing all platted easements.
h. Be responsible for complying with all aspects of compliance as required by

Company will not become or agree to become a co-permittee or operator
for the purpose of applicants’ compliance with any local, state or federal
permit or plan associated with storm water pollution prevention or erosion
control.
i. Agree to indemnify and hold MidAmerican Energy harmless from any and
all damages that may result from the non-tamping of backfill operations
conducted by MidAmerican Energy. In case any actions brought against
MidAmerican Energy or any of its agents or employees, relative to such
backfill operations, the applicant shall assume full responsibility for the
defense thereof. Upon failure to do so on proper notice, MidAmerican
Energy reserves the right to defend such action and charge all costs to the
applicant, provided, however, that nothing shall be construed as an
assumption of liability by the Applicant for damages and claims attributable
to MidAmerican Energy's negligence.
10. Within the area described above, MidAmerican Energy Company will render its
standard electric service to customers eligible for such service, at their request, at
rates from time to time in effect, subject to the terms of MidAmerican Energy
Company's electric service rules and regulations; and statutes, laws, and
ordinances; and any rules or regulations promulgated by the state or federal
regulatory authorities.
It is specifically understood and agreed that any distribution systems or other facilities
constructed or installed by MidAmerican Energy Company under terms of this Proposal
shall remain the sole property of MidAmerican Energy Company and MidAmerican
Energy Company shall determine, as its own judgment indicates, the manner and method
of utilization thereof and to extend the same or connect other facilities thereto and serve
other customers there from as it shall see fit, subject only to such obligations as
MidAmerican Energy Company shall have assumed in this Proposal; and no other person
