Common use of Engineering and Planning Clause in Contracts

Engineering and Planning. SCE will design and install the new “To-the-Meter” electric distribution and service system for the MHP to meet current Utility design standards and applicable codes, regulations, and requirements. Each MHP-Space and the common use areas will become a direct customer of SCE after the conversion. The system design will use the most economic, convenient, and efficient service route. This will ensure that the facilities are consistent with existing utility facilities and can be incorporated into routine utility inspection and maintenance programs. In addition, SCE will design and install the new distribution and service system up to the Service Delivery Point on a “like-for-like” basis to the existing system, to the extent possible and allowed by current codes and regulations, and where it is the most cost- effective option. For example, an existing 200-ampere service will be replaced with a 200-ampere service. If both electric and gas are requested to be replaced and electric service is provided overhead, SCE will have the option to offer underground electric service if it is cost-effective to do so. SCE will prepare a preliminary design package for the new electric system and all necessary land rights documents.
