(

Version: 5-25-2018

PHASE 2 Design

ODOT representative will provide:

 30/60/90% drawings and specs

 ODOT permits and easements

 If underground is required, provide

vault and conduit path per PGE

drawings (only when pre-

determined)

 Coordination with communication

companies attached to PGE poles

Timelines are based on ODOT

providing PGE with all necessary

information to complete the design.

PGE process and timelines:

 PGE preliminary design starts after

ODOT 60% drawings are received

 PGE final design starts after ODOT

90% drawings are received

 Allow a minimum 60 days for

detailed design and construction

drawing (begins after all information

is received)

 Allow five days for Meter Services

Engineer review of

switchgear/electrical room

 ODOT signs and returns the Line

Extension Cost Agreement (LECA),

Letter of Responsibility, and

payment (if applicable)

 Obtain easements—timeline varies

 2 weeks to 3 months - Apply and

receive municipal permits (*RR’s)

 After final design: we will have a

pre-construction meeting with

SDPM, FCC and ODOT

 Standoff Bracket Installation (if

applicable)

 Inspection of trench, conduit, etc.

(CALL 7-DAYS IN ADVANCE)

 Site confirmation ready to send

crew

 Construction is scheduled after

permanent service order is ready

PHASE 3 Permanent service

ODOT contractor will:

 Ensure the construction site is clear

before PGE crew arrival

 Ensure municipal electrical

inspection has been completed

 Call PGE Service Coordination to

request final service connection

Note: ODOT will call PGE Service

Coordination to request permanent service

which creates a service order. If there are

customer corrections to be made the

turnaround time will be longer. ODOT

needs to call PGE Service Coordination

each time they need a re-inspection after

turn downs.

PGE process and timelines:

 3-days City/County electrical

permit—final inspection

 3-days install meter and CT wiring

 10-14 days after meter installed

construction is scheduled

 Note: Line crew construction time

can vary based on the size and

complexity of the job.

Email communication

In each email subject line:

 ODOT K# or C# (prefer both)

 ODOT official project name

 PGE M# (once assigned after

calling PGE Service Coordination)

In body of each email:

 Specific work request

 Job related drawings & specs

 Related PGE M#’s if multiple

projects

 Requested timeline + contact info
