We run into this all the time in the signal world. POCO doesn't have electric near the interstate intersections. I am doing two intersections in SW Florida. Just today we had a meeting with the maintaining agency. We must move the existing control cabinent about 6 feet back away from the edge of pavement. My idea was to go back to the nearest underground pull box in the median and make a splice in the service wire, pull new wire to the new location Maybe 50'. NOPE, this is government in action. We are being asked to run about 1000' to the existing service pole with all new 2" conduit and #2 cu wire for a 120volt 20amp circuit for the control cabinent. Haven't worked up the price yet but quick math tells me that with directional bores, machinery, conduit, wire and labor a $500.00 fix just became over $10,000.00. My thoughts of 480 volts and a transformer fell on def ears.
