Non-Recurring Cost Study
completed on the specific state. The footages are segregated into the lengths that require
the addition of a load coil. This percentage is then used to weight the time necessary to
complete the load coil removal in that type of plant.
The resulting calculation from the
two
steps above provides
an
amount
of
minutes to
remove the load coil(s). The minutes are then multiplied by the loaded labor rate for a
construction cable splicer for the specific state. This calculation then provides a cost for
load coil removal.
The engineering costs are calculated by taking the minutes required to complete a work
order for the load coil removal. The loaded labor rate for an outside plant engineer is
used to multiply by the minutes to determine the cost for the engineering process. The
engineering process will be the same regardless
of
the number of load coils being
removed.
Bridged
Tap
The calculation for bridged tap removal is calculated for both single and multiple
occurrences of bridged taps. These occurrences, single or multiple, apply to only one
pair.
--
The calculation is based on the amount of time required to remove a bridged tap from the
cable pair. This time is weighted by the amount
of
aerialhuried and underground cable
in the specific state.
The calculation
is
based
on
the removal of one bridged tap and multiple occurrences.
The average number of multiple occurrences is based
on
two
and one-half occurrences.
The
cost
to remove a bridged tap is weighted by the amount
of
aerial/buried and
underground plant. The time to perform the activities is then multiplied by the loaded
labor rate of a construction cable splicer. The same process is performed
on
the multiple
occurrences cost times the loaded labor rate of a construction cable splicer.
The engineering time for the bridged tap removal involves the same type functions
necessary to determine the number and location of load coils
on
a cable pair. Therefore
the engineering time is the same for bridged tap removal. The bridged tap costs are based
on a per pair basis.
