S.M — soil conditions 0 FPL The Florida Administrative Code details the method for calculating new underground construction costs. 12 Covering the Additional Cost • Overhead standard — most cost effective — reflected in current rates • Underground service — cost difference paid by customers who choose this option • Storm Secure plan proposal — FPL invests 25% of cost for qualifying local government - sponsored conversion projects 0 FPL 14 Other Considerations • Unique challenges — private easements for above - ground equipment • FPL's storm secure plan proposal permits installation in road rights - of -way under specific standards and agreements — rearranging customer service entrances • requires electrician • additional improvements may be needed • requires service interruption — involve other facilities (telecommunications and cable) — trenching requires landscaping, sidewalks, driveways restoration by customer — ingress / egress disruptions 0 FPL 15 The Best System There is no "Silver Bullet" - Both overhead and underground have benefits and challenges • Overhead — more exposed to high winds, vegetation and flying debris — slightly higher maintenance costs — longer life expectancy • Underground — more exposed to damage by flooding — higher initial costs — shorter life expectancy — unique challenges for older neighborhood conversions 0 FPL IM FPL Storm Secure Plan FPL's Storm Secure Plan includes initiatives to promote electric distribution conversions to underground. • Invest 25% of overhead to underground conversion cost — for qualifying local government - sponsored programs • Support ordinances and legislation requiring new lines to be underground 0 FPL t . ,_ More than 37 percent of FPL's current system is already underground 17 Appendix 0 FPL 20 Payment Options • Special assessments — collected through annual property tax bills • Municipal service benefit / taxing units — counties can establish and levy taxes • New tariff approved in 2003 — payments included in monthly electric bill 0 FPL 21 Conversion Process Responsibilities • Applicant — provides written request to FPL — secures easements and pays engineering deposit — engineering deposit applied to total cost if project proceeds • FPL — provides non - binding ballpark estimate — performs detailed engineering and determines costs 0 FPL 22 Exploration Pointe DRI Process for Review City of Palm Beach Gardens Town Hall Meeting March 30, 2006 VAVRUS PROPERTY 7 rn �Y r 11 , _..� ,• � r.
