WHEREAS, subject to the terms and provisions set forth herein, SCE is willing and able to relocate the identified SCE Facilities in order to accommodate the Project.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED BY AND BETWEEN THE APPLICANT AND SCE AS FOLLOWS:
AGREEMENT
1. SCOPE OF WORK
The Project will require that certain of SCE’s overhead telecommunications facilities be relocated underground (“the Relocation”). The Relocation will be performed in accordance with SCE’s Tariff Rule 20: Replacement of Overhead with Underground Electric Facilities, Section C (“Rule 20C”), which is incorporated herein by this reference. The Scope of Work for the Relocation is as follows:
Request from City of Anaheim to relocate existing SCE TTC cables crossing Vermont Ave on South East St. Pole #995708E, #4471612E and #2028761E. SCE Design No. 14-1509-012.
2. RELOCATION PLANS
a. Approved Relocation Plans. In furtherance of the Applicant’s request, SCE has prepared certain plans/designs that identify (i) the SCE Facilities that will be impacted by the Project and (ii) the relocation areas for the affected SCE Facilities (the “Relocation Plans”). Copies of the Relocation Plans are attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Applicant expressly acknowledges that (a) it has reviewed and approved the Relocation Plans and (b) the Relocation Plans do not present any conflicts with the Applicant’s development plans for the Project, nor do the Relocation Plans conflict with any other non -SCE utilities that are located, or will be located, in the Project Location. It is the Applicant’s sole responsibility to ensure that no conflicts exist between the Relocation Plans and the Applicant’s development plans or other non -SCE utilities, and to timely inform SCE of the need for any refinements, modifications, or revisions to the Relocation Plans to resolve any such conflicts that may later arise, all in accordance with subsections (b) – (d) below.

b. Refinements to Plans. Depending upon the design status of the Project as of the Effective Date , the Parties acknowledge that refinements and/or adjustments to portions of the Relocation Plans may be required in order to eliminate minor conflicts. In such instance, SCE shall prepare such refinements to the Relocation Plans as may be necessary in order to address/eliminate said conflicts. The refined Relocation Plans shall be presented to the Applicant for review and approval; SCE shall not commence the Relocation Work ( see Section 4, below) unless and until the Applicant has reviewed and approved the refined Relocation Plans . The Applicant shall be responsible for all cost s and expenses reasonably incurred by SCE in relation to SCE’s refinement of the Relocation Plans.
c. Revised Plans. In the event that modifications/revisions to the Relocation Plans are required in order to accommodate changes to the Project (including the elimination of conflicts with the Applicant’s development plans), to resolve conflicts with other non-SCE utilities within the Project area, or to address other changed circumstances, then SCE shall prepare such modifications/revisions as are necessary to address said changes and shall present same to the Applicant for review and approval. The Applicant shall be responsible for all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by SCE in relation to SCE’s preparation of the modifications/revisions to the Relocation Plans.
d. Potential Project Delays . The Applicant expressly acknowledges that the preparation of refined, modified and/or revised Relocation Plans may cause delays in SCE’s performance of the Relocation Work, and that said delays could impact the development schedule for the Project. The Parties agree that SCE shall not have any liability or obligation to the Applicant (or others) in the event that the preparation of refined, modified and/or revised Relocation Plans results in delays in the Project.
3. ACQUISITION OF LAND RIGHTS
The Applicant shall be responsible for securing all land rights required by SCE to allow SCE to relocate, construct and permanently operate and maintain the SCE Facilities on the areas depicted in the Relocation Plans (the “Relocation Areas”). The land rights acquired by the Applicant (the “SCE Land Rights”) shall be in a form prescribed by SCE (the “SCE Land Rights Form”); SCE shall provide the SCE Land Rights Form to the Applicant.
The SCE Land Rights shall also include permanent rights of ingress/egress that allow SCE to gain reasonable, unimpeded and non-escorted access to and from the Relocation Areas and the SCE Facilities (whether over lands owned by the Applicant or otherwise). In connection with the acquisition of the SCE Land Rights, the Applicant shall be responsible for clearing all encumbrances identified by SCE that could interfere with the Relocation Work and the exercise of the SCE Land Rights on/about the Relocation Areas (including access thereto/therefrom). Unless otherwise agreed in writing by SCE, the SCE Land Rights shall be granted directly to SCE .
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, SCE will not begi n the Relocation Work unless and until all required SCE Land Rights have been executed, in writing, and presented to and approved by SCE.

5. COST ALLOCATION
Applicant is exclusively responsible for all costs and expenses associated with SCE’s implementation of the Relocation Plans including, but not limited to, the costs and expenses associated with (i) SCE’s preparation of the Relocation Plans (and any revisions thereto and refinements thereof), (ii) SCE’s performance of the Relocation Work and (iii) the Applicant’s acquisition of the SCE Land Rights . SCE may provide Applicant with credits with respect to the Relocation as required by its applicable Tariff Rules of service.
Applicant shall reimburse SCE for costs and expenses incurred by SCE in accordance with the provisions of Section 6, below.
6. INITIAL COST ESTIMATE, PAYMENT(S) AND RECONCILIATION a. Initial Cost Estimate. The total estimated cost for the Relocation Work for which the Applicant is responsible is $136,963.90 (the “Initial Cost Estimate”).
The Initial Cost Estimate includes a 24% Income Tax Component of Contribution (“ITCC”), which is the current 2026 ITCC rate. ITCC rates are variable and subject to change. The Applicant is responsible for payment of any increases in the ITCC that are applicable to the project, and shall reimburse SCE (within 60 days following written demand from SCE) for any ITCC increases calculated or paid by SCE, including any interest, penalties or fees associated therewith. b. Prior Advances ; Outstanding Balance . SCE has previously received an engineering advance from the Applicant in the amount of $20,000.00, which has been applied toward the total Initial Cost Estimate owed by the Applicant. Thus, the total remaining balance due to SCE at this time is $117,000.00 (the “Outstanding Balance”). c. Payment of Outstanding Balance. Concurrent with the Applicant’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Applicant shall pay to SCE the Outstanding Balance.
The Outstanding Balance shall be delivered to SCE at the address shown in Section 12.b, below, and shall reference the following SCE P roject File Number: Project ID #3605.

Reconciliation. The Parties acknowledge that the Initial Cost E stimate is valid only for a period of 90 days following the Effective Date, and that the costs associated with SCE’s performance of the Relocation Work could increase prior to SCE’s completion of the Relocation Work. Upon completion of the Relocation Work (or the cancellation of the Project or termination of this Agreement ), the Applicant will be responsible for paying the total costs and expenses actually incurred by SCE for which the Applicant is responsible under this Agreement in relation to implementation of the Relocation Plans . Thus, at the completion of the Relocation Work (or upon the cancellation of the Project or termination of this Agreement), SCE will calculate the total actual costs and expenses for which the Applicant is responsible hereunder, and the Applicant will be provided with a final invoice identifying said costs and expenses. The Applicant will be billed or refunded, as applicable, for any differen ce between the amounts paid by the Applicant hereunder and the actual costs and expenses incurred by SCE . Any amount owed to SCE shall be due no later than 30 days after the Applicant’s receipt of the final invoice. Similarly, any amount owed by SCE to the Applicant shall be refunded by SCE to the Applicant within 30 days following SCE’s preparation and delivery of the final invoice.
