of such claim at the time Idaho Power requests prepayment of the engineering charges. Idaho
Power may require that the state agency or taxing district’s claim be in writing. If the state
agency or taxing district that has invoked the provisions of Idaho Code Section §67-2302 does
not pay the engineering charges within the 60-day period as provided in that statute, all the
provisions of that statute will apply.

g. Temporary Service Return Trip Charge. If the conditions stated in Section 5.f. of
this rule are not satisfied prior to the Customer’s request for temporary service, a Temporary
Service Return Trip Charge of $35.00 will be assessed each time Company personnel are
dispatched to the job site, but are unable to connect the service. The charge will be billed after
the conditions have been satisfied and the connection has been made.

h. Unusual Conditions. Applicants, Additional Applicants, and subdividers will pay
the Company the additional costs associated with any Unusual Conditions included in the Work
Order Cost related to the construction of a Line Installation or Relocation. This payment, or
portion thereof, will be refunded to the extent that the Unusual Conditions are not encountered.
Unusual Conditions payments for Line Installations will also be refunded, under the provisions of
Section 6, if the Unusual Conditions are encountered.

In the event that the estimate of the Unusual Conditions included in the Work Order Cost
exceeds $10,000, the Applicant, Additional Applicant or subdivider may either pay for the Unusual
Conditions or may furnish an Irrevocable Letter of Credit drawn on a local bank or local branch office
issued in the name of Idaho Power Company for the amount of the Unusual Conditions. Upon
completion of that portion of the project which included an Unusual Conditions estimate, Idaho Power
Company will bill the Applicant, Additional Applicant or subdivider for the amount of Unusual Conditions
encountered up to the amount established in the Irrevocable Letter of Credit. The Applicant, Additional
Applicant or subdivider will have 15 days from the issuance of the Unusual Conditions billing to make
payment. If the Applicant, Additional Applicant or subdivider fails to pay the Unusual Conditions bill
within 15 days, Idaho Power will request payment from the bank.

i. Joint Trench. Applicants, Additional Applicants, and subdividers will pay the
Company for trench and backfill costs included in the work order prepared for an unshared
trench. In the event that the Company is able to defray any of the trench and backfill costs
included in the work order through the sharing of the trench with other utilities, the trench and
backfill cost savings will be refunded.

j. Underground Service Return Trip Charge. When a residential Customer agrees
to supply the trench, backfill, conduit, and compaction for an underground service, an
Underground Service Return Trip Charge of $50.00 will be assessed each time the Company’s
installation crew is dispatched to the job site at the Customer’s request, but is unable to
complete the cable installation.
