During the engineering phase, cost estimates and construction drawings are prepared. The engineer will gather information about existing facilities, service routes, and site conditions. If needed, the engineer will apply for easements and roadway crossing permits.
Consumers should allow 5 working days from the time they meet an engineer in the field for the completion of the engineering plan.
Aid-to-Construction
If an aid-to-construction fee is required, a letter will be sent to the consumer explaining the required amount. If easement or government permits need obtained or aid-to-construction costs are required, construction plans will be held until the completion of these items. Otherwise, construction plans will be released to the operations department.
Please contact your local South Central Power office for a schedule of construction.
