FPL calls your attention to the fact that there may be energized, high voltage electric lines, both overhead and underground, located in the area of this project. It is
imperative that you visually survey the area and that you also take the necessary steps to identify all overhead and underground facilities prior to commencing
construction to determine whether the construction of any proposed improvements will bring any person, tool, machinery, equipment or object closer to FPL’s
power lines than the OSHA-prescribed limits. If it will, you must either re-design your project to allow it to be built safely given the pre-existing power line location,
or make arrangements with FPL to either deenergize and ground our facilities, or relocate them, possibly at your expense. You must do this before allowing any
construction near the power lines. It is impossible for FPL to know or predict whether or not the contractors or subcontractors, and their employees, will op erate
or use cranes, digging apparatus or other mobile equipment, or handle materials or tools, in dangerous proximity to such powe r lines during the course of
construction, and, if so, when and where. Therefore, if it becomes necessary for any contractor or s ubcontractor, or their employees, to operate or handle cranes,
digging apparatus, draglines, mobile equipment, or any other equipment, tools or materials in such a manner that they might c ome closer to underground or
overhead power lines than is permitted by local, state or federal regulations, you and any such contractor or subcontractor must notify FPL in writing of such
planned operation prior to the commencement thereof and make all necessary arrangements with FPL in order to carry out the wo rk in a safe manner. Any work
in the vicinity of the electric lines should be suspended until these arrangements are finalized and implemented.
The National Electrical Safety Code ("NESC") prescribes minimum clearances that must be maintained. If you build your structure so that those clearances cannot
be maintained, you may be required to compensate FPL for the relocation of our facilities to comply with those clearances. As such, you should cont act FPL prior
to commencing construction near pre-existing underground or overhead power lines to make sure that your proposed improvement does not impinge upon the
NESC clearances.
It is your responsibility and the responsibility of your contractors and subcontractors on this project to diligently fulfill the following obligations:
1. Make absolutely certain that all persons responsible for operating or handling cranes, digging apparatus, draglines, mobile equipment or any
equipment, tool, or material capable of contacting a power line, are in compliance with all applicable state and federal regulations, including but
not limited to U.S. Department of Labor OSHA Regulations, while performing their work.
2. Make sure that all cranes, digging apparatus, draglines, mobile equipment, and all other equipment or materials capable of contacting a
power line have attached to them any warning signs required by U.S. Department of Labor OSHA Regulations.
3. Post and maintain proper warning signs and advise all employees, new and old alike, of their obligation to keep themselves, their tools,
materials and equipment away from power lines per the following OSHA minimum approach distances (refer to OSHA regulations for restrictions):
*Power Line Voltages **Personnel and Equipment Cranes and Derricks Travel under or near Power Lines (on construction sites, no load)
(29 CFR 1910.333 and 1926.600) (29 CFR 1926.1407, 1408) (29 CFR 1926.600 – Equipment) (1926.1411 – Cranes and Derricks)
0 - 750 volts 10 Feet 10 Feet 4 Feet 4 Feet
751 - 50,000 volts 10 Feet 10 Feet 4 Feet 6 Feet
69,000 volts 11 Feet 15 Feet 10 Feet 10 Feet
115,000 volts 13 Feet 15 Feet 10 Feet 10 Feet
138,000 volts 13 Feet 15 Feet 10 Feet 10 Feet
230,000 volts 16 Feet 20 Feet 10 Feet 10 Feet
500,000 volts 25 Feet 25 Feet 16 Feet 16 Feet
*When uncertain of the voltage, maintain a distance of 20 feet for voltages up to 350,000 volts and 50 feet for voltages greater than 350,000 volts.
**For personnel approaching insulated secondary conductors less than 750 volts, avoid contact (Maintain 10 Feet to bare energized conductors less than 750 volts). For
qualified personnel and insulated aerial lift equipment meeting requirements of 29 CFR 1910.333, distances may be reduced to those shown in 29 CFR 1910.333 Table S-5.
4. All excavators are required to contact the Sunshine State One Call of Florida, phone number 1-800-432-4770 or 811 a minimum of two working days
(excluding weekends) in advance of commencement of excavation to ensure facilities are located accurately.
5. Conduct all locations and excavations in accordance with the Florida Statute 556 of the Underground Facilities Damage Prevention & Safety Act and all
local city and county ordinances that may apply.
6. When an excavation is to take place within a tolerance zone, an excavator shall use increased caution to protect underground facilities.
The protection requires hand digging, pot holing, soft digging, vacuum methods, or similar procedures to identify underground facilities.
