BACKGROUND This case arises out of a dispute between Idaho Power and Mr. Bruno regarding his compliance with Idaho Powets Rule H. Rule H is Idaho Power's tariff that governs line extensions. More specifically, the dispute in this case relates to the standards that Idaho ANSWER-1 Power has established for customer-constructed underground service line extensions to residential meters. Underground service includes trenching, installng conduit, backfillng, and pullng cable to attach to the meter. Prior to 1992, Idaho Powets line extension rules provided that the Company would install underground service lines to residential meters. In 1992, in response to requests from homebuilders, the Company agreed to change its line extension practices to allow homebuilders and their subcontractors to perform certain underground service facilty installations so long as they met specifications established by Idaho Power. In Idaho Powets current Rule H, in accordance with Section 4.b.i., an Applicant can provide trench and conduit for an underground service attachment. This section of Rule H is commonly referred to as the "reduced charge option" because it substantially reduces Idaho Powets charges for an underground line extension. As previously noted, Applicants can take advantage of the reduced cost option if they comply with construction specifications established by Idaho Power. These specifications are published in a brochure entitled Reduced Cost Option ('the Brochure"). The Brochure has been published since 1993. The version of the Brochure that was in effect when Mr. Bruno elected to proceed under the Reduced Cost Option is Attachment C to the Staffs Decision Memorandum. The Staff's Decision Memorandum was included with the Commission's Summons. For the convenience of the Commission's review, a copy of the applicable Brochure is enclosed as Attachment NO.1. Page 3 of 5 of Attachment No. 1 is the pertinent portion of the Brochure. ANSWER-2 II. FACTS OF THIS CASE Mr. Bruno is a homebuilder doing business under the name of Brunobuilt Homes. In July of this year, Mr. Bruno was constructing a residential dwellng at 10112 Whitecrest in Star, Idaho. Mr. Bruno elected to install the underground service to 10112 Whitecrest under the Reduced Cost Option. After Mr. Bruno's excavation subcontractor and electrician subcontractor finished installng the conduit and meter base, they contacted Idaho Power to request that cable be pulled through the conduit and the meter installed. Upon arriving at 10112 Whitecrest, Idaho Power's crew observed that the conduit had not been installed in compliance with the Company's published standards for the Reduced Cost Option. The conduit was not sufficiently vertical and was not parallel to the side ofthe house. Idaho Power notified Mr. Bruno that it could not pull the cable and install the meter until the problems had been corrected. Mr. Bruno's subcontractors subsequently corrected the problems and the cable was pulled and the meter set. However, in accordance with Section 6.j. of Rule H, the Company assessed Mr. Bruno an underground service return trip charge in the amount of $50.00 because the crew had to make two trips to the site to complete the installation. According to the Idaho Public Utilties Commission Staffs Decision Memorandum, Mr. Bruno has lodged both informal and formal complaints objecting to Idaho Powets assessment of the $50.00 return trip charge. In his formal Complaint (Attachment A to the Staffs Decision Memorandum), Mr. Bruno does not assert that the conduit originally installed at 10112 Whitecrest conformed to the standards specified in the Reduced Cost Option brochure. Instead, he expresses his opinion that other contractors have been allowed to install non-conforming conduits and that he is being treated unfairly because his non-complying conduit was rejected. ANSWER-3 II. COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS As previously noted, in his Complaint, Mr. Bruno does not allege that the conduit installed by his contractor at 10112 Whitecrest complied with the standards set out in the Brochure. Even so, Idaho Power believes it is important for the Commission to see the condition of the conduit installation at 10112 Whitecrest before it was rejected and after it was accepted. Attachment NO.2 is a photograph showing the condition of the conduit installation that Idaho Power rejected. Attachment Nos. 3 and 4 are photographs showing the completed meter installation after it was accepted by Idaho Power. It is readily apparent that the installation shown in Attachment NO.2 does not comply with the standards as expressed in the drawing on page 3 of 5 in the Brochure (Attachment No.1) while Attachment Nos. 3 and 4 show the final meter installation in compliance with the drawing on page 3 of 5 of the Brochure. The reason that Idaho Power insists on underground line extensions complying with the standards set out on page 3 of the Brochure are for both safety and maintenance reasons. First, if the above-ground section of conduit is not close to and parallel to the siding of the house, the chances that it wil be hit by lawnmowers, weed eaters, etc., is greatly increased. A cracked or broken conduit can result in exposed wires and increased moisture in the wiring. Second, some amount of settling ofthe underground conduit almost always occurs. Even with a slip coupling in place, a conduit that is placed at an angle to the house has a tendency to exert downward pressure on the meter base, which increases the likelihood that wiring can become exposed and present a safety hazard. Therefore, when Mr. Bruno admits in his complaint that "my subcontractors had installed a run of ANSWER-4 conduit which wasn't perfectly vertical or attached to the building. . . ," it should not be viewed as a mere issue of aesthetics, but instead it is an issue of safety. The principal complaint Mr. Bruno has with Idaho Powets enforcement of its standards at 10112 Whitecrest is that even though his installation might not have been constructed in accordance with the standards, he believes that other contractors also violate the standards and, as a result, he is the victim of selective enforcement. First, Idaho denies that Mr. Bruno is being singled out. Idaho Power trains its line installation crews to understand the standards that are set out in the Brochure with the intent that they uniformly enforce the standards. While any enforcement of standards requires the application of judgment and experience, Idaho Power denies that it enforces the standards in an arbitrary and capricious fashion as alleged by Mr. Bruno. In his Complaint, Mr. Bruno claims to have photographs of locations where Idaho Power has installed power to homes with "crooked conduit or unattached conduit showing that it (Idaho Power) picks or chooses who it wants to help or hurt on any given day." Mr. Bruno has not supplied copies of those photographs to Idaho Power or as a part of his Complaint. Therefore, it is impossible for Idaho Power to respond to this allegation. IV. NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS In his formal Complaint, Mr. Bruno does not allege he was unaware of the standards his subcontractors would have to comply with when utilzing the Reduced Cost Option under Idaho Powets Rule H. However, in their Decision Memorandum, the Staff notes that Mr. Bruno apparently indicated to the Staff investigator that perhaps there had been a recent change in the rules and he was not advised of the change. Any claim of ignorance of the standards should be discounted for several reasons. First, the standards applicable ANSWER-5 to the Reduced Cost Option for underground secondary line installations have not materially changed since 1993. Enclosed as Attachment NO.5 are copies of the pertinent portions of the standards taken from three versions of the Brochure that precede the version of the Brochure applicable to 10112 Whitecrest. As can been seen in Attachment No.5, the section dealing with how the conduit should be installed to attach to the meter base has not materially changed since 1993. Second, Mr. Bruno has been in the homebuilding business in Idaho Powets service territory for several years. His excavation contractor and his electrician are experienced subcontractors who are well aware of the standards that are applicable to the underground service installation at 10112 Whitecrest. Third, Idaho Power provides public notice of the standards set out in the Brochure in several different ways. Because the state of Idaho does not require construction contractors to be specifically identified in its licensing data base, there is no convenient list of construction contractors to which the Brochure can be sent. However, Idaho Power sends new versions of the Brochure to the members of the various local chapters of the Idaho Building Contractors Association across Idaho Powets service area. These local chapters include the Building Contractors Association of Southwestern Idaho, the Magic Valley Builders Association, and others. Mr. Bruno is a member of the Building Contractors Association of Southwestern Idaho. In addition, Idaho Power maintains a copy of the Brochure on its website. The hyperlink to the website is as follows: http://ww.idahopower.com/pdfs/ServiceBilling/customerservice/newCons truction/DFE071 ReducedChargeOption.pdf. Finally, Idaho Powets personnel that provide cost estimates to the excavation contractors and other developers and contractors are trained to answer any questions regarding the standards set out in the Brochure. If a contractor is identified as a new ANSWER-6 contractor, the estimators are trained to advise them of the location of the standards on the website and if a hard copy of the Brochure is needed, to make a hard copy available to the contractor. While Idaho Power believes that it does a good job of making the availabilty of the Brochure known to potential contractors, Idaho Power has recently added a step to its cost estimating and quotation process in which it requires anyone receiving a cost quote to acknowledge that they have received a copy of the most recent Brochure. A copy of the new cost quote sheet is enclosed as Attachment NO.6 and the new line item addressing the Brochure is in the box below the signature lines. It is hoped that this additional step wil ensure that contractors that might somehow be unaware of the standards contained in the Brochure wil be put on notice. V. IDAHO POWER'S POSITION The Company contends that in its dealings with Mr. Bruno, it has fully complied with Rule H, specifically Section 4.b.i. and 6.j. It is Idaho Power's position that it has properly enforced the standards set out in the Brochure, that it does not enforce the standards in an arbitrary or capricious manner, and that Mr. Bruno was not singled out for unfair treatment. The Company also contends that it has undertaken reasonable efforts and established reasonable processes for giving notice to the public and appropriate contractors of the availabilty of the Brochure and the standards contained therein. Finally, the Company contends that it has reasonably responded to Mr. Bruno's objections to paying the $50.00 return fee. Enclosed as Attachment Nos. 7 and 8 are copies of correspondence between the Company and Mr. Bruno and the Company and Commission Staff regarding Mr. Bruno's Complaint. Idaho Power believes that these ANSWER-7 attachments demonstrate that it made a good faith effort to address Mr. Bruno's concerns prior to Mr. Bruno filing this formal Complaint. Vi.
