Chapter 110 - Utilities, Article II - Electric Service, Section 110-32 - Pole attachment fee; use of Dover
Electric Department facilities, be amended by renumbering Subsection (5) - Fees and charges as Subsection
(4) and renumbering Subsection (4) - Scope of authority as Subsection (5) to read as follows:
Sec. 110-32 - Pole attachment fee; use of Dover Electric Department facilities
(4) Fees and charges.
(a) Payment of fees and charges. Each Licensee shall pay to DED the fees and charges
specified in Appendix F - Fees and Fines, and shall comply with the terms and conditions
specified therein.
(b) Periodic Review. At least every five (5) years, DED will review the cost inputs that formed
the basis of the pole attachment rate and adjust the rate accordingly.
Página 64
(c) Payment period. Fees shall be calculated and payable on a pro-rata basis for the portion
of the year during which an attaching entity holds a permit for such attachment.
(d) Billing. DED shall invoice licensee for the payments annually. DED will submit to the
licensee an invoice for the annual rental period no later than July 1 of each year. The initial
annual rental period shall commence upon the execution of an agreement and conclude on June
30 of the next year, and each subsequent annual rental period shall commence on the following
July 1 and conclude on June 30 of the subsequent year. The invoice shall set forth the total
number of DED's poles and/or linear feet of conduit for which the licensee was issued and/or
holds a permit(s) for attachments during such annual rental period, including any previously
authorized and valid permits. Each licensee shall pay each such invoice within 30 calendar days
after DED's issuance thereof.
(e) Refunds. No fees and charges specified in Appendix F - Fees and Fines shall be refunded
on account of any surrender of a permit granted pursuant to a license agreement.
(f) Late charge. If the DED does not receive payment for any fee or other amount owed
within 30 calendar days after it becomes due, the licensee shall pay interest to DED, at the rate
provided for in Appendix F - Fees and Fines.
(g) Payment for make-ready work. Each licensee will be responsible for payment to DED for
all make-ready work required to accommodate attachments (including overlashes) by licensee
or an affiliate. Each third party shall be responsible for payment to DED for all make-ready work
required to accommodate its overlashes.
(h) Advance payment. At the discretion of DED, a licensee may be required to pay in advance
all reasonable costs, including but not limited to administrative, construction, inspections and
make-ready work expenses, in connection with the initial installation or rearrangement of
licensee's attachments pursuant to the procedures set forth below.
(i) Determination of charges. Wherever this chapter or an associated license agreement
requires a licensee to pay for work done or contracted by DED, the charge for such work shall
include all reasonable material, labor, engineering, administrative and overhead costs that are
not otherwise recovered in the annual attachment fee. DED's invoices shall be based upon actual
costs, and such costs will be determined in accordance with DED's cost-accounting systems used
for recording capital and expense activities. All such invoices shall include an itemization of
dates of work, location of work, labor costs per hour, persons employed and materials used and
cost of materials.
(j) Inventory. Upon enactment of this section, the DED shall provide an inventory of the poles
to each licensee. DED will provide this inventory list within 15 calendar days to the licensee, the
licensee shall respond with any discrepancies to DED within 60 calendar days and these will be
mutually resolved within 15 days. A failure of the licensee to respond within the 60 days or
resolve the discrepancy within 15 days shall constitute acceptance of the DED inventory. For
any disputed attachments, the licensee shall provide definitive proof that they are not attaching
to the DED facilities, for example pictures or other video media.
Página 65
A joint inventory of all attachments shall be made no less than once every five (5) years nor
earlier than every four (4) years by DED and all licensees, unless all parties agree to a new
inventory schedule. The cost of the inventory shall be shared pro rata between DED and the
licensees based on the number of attachments (not including overlash) subject to the inventory
and to the terms of any agreement with said licensees. The cost of the inventory shall be shared
by all attaching parties, based upon the gross number of pole attachments as discovered at the
end of the inventory. DED is assumed to have one (1) attachment per pole. For example, the
electric utility has 100 poles, cable company has 50 attachments, telephone company has 25
attachments--this is a total of 175 attachments--the cost of the inventory would be divided by
175 then multiplied by 100 for the electric utility, 50 for the cable company and 25 for the
telephone company. At the expiration of five (5) years from the completion of any inventory,
licensee or DED may request an inventory of attachments, in writing, at least six (6) months
prior to the end of the calendar year preceding the year the inventory is to commence. Licensee
will be required to provide documentation indicating the year of attachment for any of licensee's
attachments on DED's poles not recorded at the time of the previous inventory.
(k) Work performed by DED. Wherever this section or an associated license agreement
requires DED to perform any work, licensee acknowledges and agrees that DED, at its sole
discretion, may utilize its own qualified employees, contractors approved by a licensee, or any
combination of the two (2) to perform such work.
(l) "True up". Wherever the actual cost of DED's activity exceeds the advance payment of
estimated expenses, licensee agrees to pay DED for the difference in cost when that amount
exceeds the amount provided for in Appendix F - Fees and Fines. To the extent that the actual
cost of the activity is less than the estimated cost, DED shall refund to licensee the difference
in cost where that amount exceeds the amount provided for in Appendix F - Fees and Fines.
(m) Default for nonpayment. Nonpayment of any undisputed amount due under this section
or an associated license agreement beyond 90 days shall constitute a default of this section or
the license agreement.
(5) Scope of authority.
(a) Grant of license. Subject to terms and conditions required or authorized by this section, DED
shall grant any qualified applicant a revocable, nonexclusive license to attach communications
facilities to DED's poles or to place communications facilities within DED's conduits.
(b) Incorporation into license agreements. Except as DED and a licensee may otherwise agree, the
provisions of this section shall be deemed incorporated into DED's future license agreements.
(c) Right to use DED facilities not granted by franchise. The rights of a person to apply for or use
DED facilities shall be governed by this section and its applicable license agreement. The grant of a
cable franchise shall not be construed as a grant of attachment rights or authority to use DED facilities
without additional compliance by the franchisee with the provisions of this section and any applicable
license agreement(s).
Página 66
(d) Permit issuance conditions. DED will issue a permit to a licensee only when DED determines,
in its sole judgment, exercised reasonably, that;
(i) It has sufficient capacity to accommodate the requested attachment(s);
(ii) The licensee meets all requirements set forth in this section and any applicable license
agreement, and
(iii) Such permit complies with all applicable standards.
(e) Reserved capacity. DED will grant access to assigned space on its poles to licensee with the
understanding that certain poles may be subject to reserve capacity for future electric service use. At
the time of permit issuance DED may notify the licensee that capacity on particular poles is being
reserved for future electric use within the next five years pursuant to a bona fide development plan.
For attachments made with notice of such a bona fide plan, on giving licensee at least 120 calendar
days prior notice, DED may reclaim such reserved capacity at anytime during the five-year period
following the installation of licensee's attachment if required for DED's future electric service use,
including the attachment of communications lines for internal DED operational or governmental
communications requirements. DED shall give a licensee the option to remove its attachment(s) from
the affected pole(s) or to pay for the cost of any make-ready work needed to expand capacity so that
licensee can maintain its attachment on the affected pole(s). The allocation of the cost of any such
make-ready work (including the transfer, rearrangement, or relocation of third-party Attachments)
shall be determined in accordance with subsection (4)(g).
(f) No interest in property. No use, however lengthy, of any DED facilities, and no payment of any
fees or charges required under this section or an applicable license agreement, shall create or vest in
a licensee any easement or other ownership or property right of any nature in any portion of such DED
facilities. Neither a license agreement nor any permit granted to a licensee shall constitute an
assignment of any of DED's rights to the DED facilities. Notwithstanding anything in an agreement
to the contrary, a licensee shall, at all times, be and remain a licensee only.
(g) Licensee's right to attach. Nothing in this section or any associated license agreement, other than
a permit issued pursuant to subsection (8), shall be construed as granting a licensee a right to attach
its communications facilities or electric facilities to any specific pole or any portion of conduit. DED
shall not be required to grant a permit to a licensee unless and until the licensee meets all applicable
terms and conditions for the receipt of the permit.
(h) DED'S rights over poles. This section does not in any way limit DED's right to locate, operate
and maintain its poles and conduits in the manner that will best enable it to fulfill its service
requirements.
(i) Expansion of capacity. DED will take reasonable steps to expand pole or conduit capacity when
necessary to accommodate a licensee's request for attachment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
in this section shall be construed to require DED to install, retain, extend, or maintain any pole or
portion of conduit for licensee's use when DED does not need such pole or conduit for its own service
requirements.
Página 67
(j) Prior agreements. Except as provided in this chapter, nothing herein shall limit, restrict, or
prohibit DED from fulfilling any agreement or arrangement regarding poles or conduit into which
DED has previously entered.
(k) Permitted uses. Any agreement adopted pursuant to this section shall be limited to the uses
specifically stated in the agreement and no other use shall be allowed without DED's express written
consent to such use. Nothing in this section shall be construed to require DED to allow a licensee to
use DED's facilities after the termination of the applicable agreement.
(l) Overlashing. The following provisions will apply to overlashing:
(i) Overlashing is subject to the permitting requirements of subsection (8). Absent such
authorization, overlashing constitutes an unauthorized attachment and is subject to the
unauthorized attachment fee specified in Appendix F - Fees and Fines.
(ii) Overlashing performed by or on behalf of the licensee or its affiliate shall not increase the
annual attachment fee paid by the licensee pursuant to Appendix F - Fees and Fines. Licensee
or its affiliate, however, shall be responsible for all make-ready work and other charges
associated with the overlashing but shall not be required to pay a separate annual attachment fee
for such overlashed attachment.
(iii) If overlashing is required to accommodate facilities of a third party that is not affiliated
with attaching utility, such third party must enter into a license agreement with DED and obtain
permits and must pay a separate attachment fee as provided for in Appendix F - Fees and Fines,
as well as the costs of all necessary make-ready work required to accommodate the overlashing.
No such permits to third parties shall be granted by DED allowing overlashing of licensee's
attachments unless licensee has consented in writing to such overlashing. Overlashing shall not
increase the fees and charges paid by Licensee pursuant to Appendix F - Fees and Fines. Nothing
in this section or applicable agreement shall prevent a licensee from seeking a contribution from
an overlashing third party to defray fees and charges paid by the Licensee.
(iv) Make-ready work procedures set forth in subsection (4)(g) shall apply, as necessary, to all
overlashing.
BE IT FURTHER ORDAINED THAT:
