This letter is in response to request for explanation regarding CenturyLink permit request to place fiber
Aerial Variance on job N.252054 to provide fiber to CenturyLink customer order.
This customer is currently being fed by an existing Ariel copper feed into their bldg. The most effective
and cost efficient way to upgrade the customer to fiber is to over lash fiber to the existing copper lines
to their utility room. This costs us approximately, $14,917 . If we were to replace this with an
underground path, this would cost an additional $12,000 . This also allows for less ground, concrete
disturbance, restoration, and traffic delay and congestion along the road connecting us to our customer.
If this is acceptable to the City of Renton we will proceed as planned, otherwise we will revise the job to
place underground to customer as requested.
Thank You,
