11.0 OVERALL PROGRAM OPINION OF SCHEDULE
OVERALL SCHEDULE HIGHLIGHTS
 The program schedule began in March 2018 with the
development of this master plan.
 Detailed design will need to start as soon as practical to
minimize the duration and completion date of the program.
 Design begins earlier for subsequent phases before prior
phase completion to allow more time for the easement
acquisition process.
 Construction Manager selection occurs prior to fi nal
design completion to allow them the opportunity to provide
constructability reviews and make value engineering
suggestions.
 The design of the communications networks follows the
design of the electrical network to allow coordination of
the designs that promotes the collocation of electrical and
communications equipment in common easements. This
reduces the overall number of easements required for the
program.

Construction activities for the program are expected to kick
off in the summer of 2020 with Phase 1.
 Construction durations for each phase range from 18 to 24
months depending on the quantity of work to be performed
and complexity of each phase.
 In order to accelerate the schedule, the construction phase
for Phases 2, 3, and 4 of the program overlaps the previous
adjacent phase construction schedule by a minimum of
6}months with potential to overlap 12 months or more.
 The overlap of the construction activities in each phase
is subject to “heavy” construction being complete in the
previous phase prior to allowing “heavy” construction
activities to begin in the subsequent phase. This is done
primarily to mitigate community and traffi c impacts.
 The fi nal six months of the construction activity schedule
for each phase is reserved for switch over, pole removal,
and fi nal restoration. It is not expected that this will be a
continuous construction activity. Experience with similar
projects has shown that the coordination required with FPL,
AT&T, and Comcast can be time consuming and therefore
requires a duration of time for the switch over and pole
removal to be accomplished.
 All areas of the Village are scheduled to be converted to
an underground system by the middle of 2025. Final pole
removal is scheduled to be completed by the end of the
second quarter in 2026.
 The schedule does contain time contingencies for normal
weather impacts, soil conditions, and typical unforeseen
conditions. It does not account for signifi cant schedule
impacts related to signifi cant weather events that cause
the utility owners to focus efforts on storm recovery rather
than undergrounding. It also does not consider signifi cant
contractor issues related to litigation, bankruptcy, non-
performance, and the like because these types of issues
are impossible to predict.
