This letter is in response to request for explanation regarding CenturyLink permit request to place fiber
Aerial Variance on job N.153292 to provide fiber to CenturyLink customer order.
This customer is currently being fed by an existing direct buried underground copper feed of 40’ into
their bldg. The most effective and cost efficient way to upgrade the customer to fiber is to place
overhead fiber to the existing utility room. This costs us approximately, $400 . If we were to replace this
with an underground path, this would cost an additional $6,000 . This also allows for less ground,
concrete disturbance, restoration, If this is acceptable to the City of Renton we will proceed as planned,
otherwise we will not be able to provide this service to the customer as requested.
Thank You,
