Doing a preliminary cost analysis for a Municipal Water client who needs to have utility extend 3-phase MV primary (12.47kV) approx 1/2 mile as part of a new designproject. The serving POCO won't even give wild-approximations for what this might cost. Our new load is nothing huge (well less than 100HP) so current & conductor sizes would almost be negligible @ 12.47kV. Construction site is rural Illinois, so it is very flat with no tree or obstruction issues. I've heard ball-park figures anywhere from $75k to $500k. Our construction cost-estimating books don't get into this kind of stuff unless I want to break out a specific number of poles, crossarms, conductor type & gauge, etc., etc.
I'm just looking for a way to get a reasonable allowance into the budget.
Any reasonable approximations out there???
