Attention: Mr G M Burns

Dear Sirs:
Over the past few months, you have requested estimates of the costs involved in supplying power to several Gap Filler Radar sites across the Province. We now have the five estimates requested up to the present time, but your letter of September 15 indicated that the Nobel Station may be relocated. We are, therefore, holding the estimate for this particular site pending further advice.
Ontario Hydro will install and own all transformers and metering, but the customer will be responsible for the cost of the transformer structure and any line required on private property. In some cases, as noted, the customer will also own a portion of the line required to bring power to the site. The estimated costs to the customer are as follows:
Convert approximately 17 miles of single-phase primary to 3-phase and 8 miles of 2-phase to 3-phase | $20,000 |
Construct 1000' of 3-phase line from road to site | 1,400 |
Cost of erecting transformer structure | 1,800 |
Total | $23,200 |
Construction 300' of 3-phase line from road to site | $1,120 |
Cost of erecting structure | 1,800 |
Total | $2,920 |
Convert approximately 3.6 miles of 1-phase primary to 3-phase and build .75 miles of 3-phase line | $18,040 |
Construction of line on site | 1,360 |
Cost of structure | 1,350 |
Total | $20,750 |
Conversion of 1.65 miles of 1-phase primary to 3-phase | $3,600 |
Construction of .5 miles of 3-phase line on site | 4,000 |
Cost of structure | 1,800 |
Total | $9,400 |
Total for the four installations - 456,270
If you wish us to proceed with this work, would you please advise so that appropriate contracts can be prepared. When the contracts are signed we will then require a purchase order for each separate installation.
We are willing to undertake the maintenance of the customer-owned portions of these installations, but on a cost basis only, as required. We presume that these arrangements will be made with the customer after the installations are complete.
We would also appreciate being advised of the dates by which service will be required as soon as possible.
Yours truly,
RL Cambell
Rural Service Superintendent.
