Scope:

This standard outlines the basic guidelines to be followed by Estimators preparing

Estimate Drawings. The guidelines establish the expectations for the accurate delineation

and uniform representation of all pertinent information including general layout,

abbreviations, and symbols used in the creation of Estimate Drawings.

Purpose:

Estimate Drawings are drawings, diagrams, sketches, notes and/or plans to aid in the

construction of electric facilities . The drawings are a representation of the proposed work

in sufficient detail to enable construction personnel to plan and complete the work.

Estimate drawings are not detailed maps.

Drawings are an important part of the estimate because they are almost always easier to

understand than a written description. The drawings must clearly illustrate the overall

objective of a proposed project, as well as the detailed work plans. The detailed plans and

notes enable the construction personnel to construct and complete the job and mapping

personnel to map and record the facilities.

o Thin Line: 000 width in Model Space at 1” = 100’

o Leader Line: Regular Line with arrow at one end used to lead the eye to a note

Abbreviations: See Exhibit “A” Abbreviations

Field Checks:

Estimators, prior to going in the field, are expected to research office records, block

maps, circuit diagrams, etc., to obtain information on existing facilities, streets, roads,

highways, subdivisions and property lines. After completing their field investigation,

they are to determine if the office information is correct and accurate. If not correct,

they are to forward the necessary information to mapping so that mapping can update

the records and maps to reflect current field conditions.

General Drawing Requirements:

1) Neatness:

Keep drawings neat and clear. Use general notes or symbols to cover items that

appear at several locations in the drawing. Place notations on drawings parallel with

the bottom so notes can be read without turning the drawing around. Avoid clutter,

crisscrossing of lines and excessive use of arrows. Use Details as needed to clarify

job instructions. Be sure drawings are complete and include a sheet number, title,

legend, north arrow, scale, boundaries of work, and street/road names.

2) Paper Size

Paper sizes of 8½" x 11", 11" x 17" or 24" x 36" are preferable, since most copying

machines easily duplicate these. The paper should include a ½” margin line around

the edge. Keep the drawing as small as clarity permits, leaving room for notes,

legends, and other job data.


Drawing No:

SD 1800



Drawing No:

SD 1800


3) Title Block:

Complete all elements of the title block using regular font unless noted. The

Standard Silicon Valley Title Block should be used. It should include Title,

Designed By and Date, Draw By, Date, Map Number, Sheet Number, Drawing

Number, Revision Number, Approved By and Date, and Scale.

A) Title:

The Title should include the project name with street address under the

project name. It should be shown as a large bold font. Under the project

name and address should be “SILICON VALLEY POWER” using regular

size bold font and under it should be “CITY OF SANTA CLARA” shown

as a large bold font.

B) Revision Number:

Use Revision Numbers if the drawing is modified after copies are made

and distributed. The Revision Number should be shown in the lower right

hand portion of the Title Block. It should be shown in large bold font. In

addition, above and adjacent to the Title Block there should be at least 3

blank rows for 4 columns labeled Revision Number, Date, Description,

and Approved By. A concise description of what has changed should be

included under the Description Block. An optional triangle inscribed with

the Revision Number shown in the block and on the corresponding area

of change on the drawing maybe used. The Revision Number is changed

on all the sheets. The reference Description block is revised only on the

sheet that has the revision shown.

C) Sheet Number:

The sheet number of drawings should start with 1 and say “ SHT 1 OF X”

where X is the total number of drawing sheets for each of the Developer’s

Work and City’s Work drawings.


Drawing No:

SD 1800


D) Scale:

Prepare Estimate Drawings to scale whenever possible. If the drawings

are not to scale, place the items in their relative positions. Use a larger

scale or exaggerate street widths if necessary for clarity. A scale should

be chosen as small as clarity permits, leaving room for notes, legends,

and other job data. Always use an Engineers scale. Put the scale chosen

in the Title Block. Use dimensions if not to scale. Avoid using “as

noted” or “not to scale”.

E) Drawing Number:

The drawing number is usually the Estimate Number. It should be shown

in large bold font. Do not use “Estimate” as the Estimate Number.

F) Drawing Type Reference Box: A reference to the type of Estimate Drawings required. It will include

three boxes side by side with each box labeled CTY. WK. for City’s

Work, DEV. WK. for Developer’s Work, and IMP. PLNS. for

Improvement Plans. Each box will be checked as required to complete an

estimate package.

4) Orientation:

Orient the drawing with the North arrow pointing to the top of the sheet or

pointing to the right of page. Show the North arrow in the bottom right hand

corner of the main drawing area above the Title Block. Always show the North

arrow for other maps (e.g. location map, detail maps, etc.) pointing in same

direction as the main drawing North arrow.

5) Construction Notes:

Number construction notes starting from the location the work begins. Continue

in a logical sequence that the work will progress. Label numerically starting with

the number 1 inscribed in a hexagon for each work instruction required to


Drawing No:

SD 1800


complete the construction. Work notes referring to pages in Silicon Valley Power

Underground Engineering Standard UG-1000 should be inscribed in a circle.

The corresponding wording for each inscribed numerical hexagonal note should

be placed on the drawing where space permits. Place in numerical sequence with

the inscribed numerical hexagonal at the beginning of each note. Duplicate notes

may have multiple inscribed numerical hexagonal numbers grouped at the

beginning of the note. If the drawing consists of more than one sheet continue

numerical hexagonal notes on subsequent sheets. Show the corresponding

wording for each inscribed numerical hexagonal note on each sheet. If the

corresponding inscribed numerical hexagonal note is not used on the additional

sheets do not include it in the numerical sequence for that page. Make notes short,

concise, and to the point. Refer to Exhibit “C” - Sample Construction Notes.

Include reference to City of Santa Clara Overhead or Underground Standard

Drawing Numbers when possible, rather than copying details on the drawings to

describe the work required.

6) Location Map: Prepare a location map for all job estimates when a construction drawing does not

include a street and a cross street name. The location map is usually attached to an

estimate in the lower right hand portion of a the drawing above the title block.

The purpose of the location map is to adequately locate the work site

geographically for individuals unfamiliar with the area. An excerpt from the

County Assessor's Parcel Map or City base map is an acceptable source for a

location map. Show how to reach the location from a major street keeping the

number of streets shown on the map to a minimum. Use a scale as small as

practical and yet keep the map clear and readable. Orient the location map so that

the North arrow corresponds to the Developer's work drawing’s North arrow.


Drawing No:

SD 1800


Show streets, street names, property lines, etc. in the map. Label as "Location

Map" with the scale (not to scale) below the Title.

7) Symbols:

Use symbols rather than notes and arrows to keep the drawing clear and legible.

Exhibit “B” - Symbols shows the typical symbols used on SVP drawings. If

necessary, use additional symbols to clarify what must be done. Use a legend block

to explain all symbols that appear on the drawing.

8) Dimension Lines:

Dimension lines, using regular font and line weight, are to be used to reference

new facilities (transformer pads, splice boxes, street light foundations, etc.)

from known features (building, face of curb, wall, property line, etc.).

9) Rights-of-Way:

Show all proposed and existing electrical easements. Label as "Required" or

"Existing", "P.U.E.", "UGEE", "WCE", "Electrical Easement", etc.. For existing

easements, include a reference to the County’s Book and Page Number or

Parcel/Tract Number granting the easement.

10) Details:

Use a Detail if an area on the drawing is congested and hard to read. If a Detail

is used, show all notes, dimensions, etc. in the Detail and not on the area of the

drawing. Label Details alphebticaly starting with “A” with the exception of a

riser, transformer, or location detail. Title the Detail using large bold font as

“Detail A” with the appropriate scale shown below using regular font. Try to

keep the number of details to a miniumum (use only when needed).

in Developer’s Work.

b) Low Voltage Circuit Detail:

A Secondary or Street Light Circuit Detail is a blowup of the

“City’s Work” drawings new underground low voltage circuits. It

generally supplements the main drawing because it is not always

possible to clearly show new Secondary and Street Light

underground circuits. It is not necessary to draw Circuit Details to

scale as long as the relative position of all equipment is shown. On

the main drawing show all new underground low voltage circuits

without showing conductor number, conductor size, conductor

material, conductor length, Construction Notes, or notes referring

to pages in City of Santa Clara Electric Department Underground

Engineering Standard UG-1000. All this information should be

included in the Low Voltage Circuit Detail. The Low Voltage

Circuit Detail should include the entire secondary circuit including

the padmount transformer or overhead transformer/riser pole. The

conductor number, conductor size, and conductor material should

be shown using regular font about ⅛ of inch above the lines

representing the circuit. The conductor length should be shown

using regular font about ⅛ of inch below the lines representing the

circuit. Construction Notes, or notes referring to pages in City of

Santa Clara Electric Department Underground Engineering

Standard UG-1000 should be shown using leader lines in the

Circuit Detail. Underground service conductor sizes are also

planning engineer that load calculations and/ or load growth curves have

been completed for estimates increasing or adding to existing substations.

H) Underground Conduit System:

When SVP crews install underground conduits, manholes, vaults, pull boxes,

transformer pads, street light foundations, etc. the drawing should be labeled

“City’s Work” but shown on the drawing as discussed in this document

under Developer’s Work.. This work must be completed before work can

start on the overhead and/or underground circuitry. Therefore, all

underground conduit work should be grouped together on the first sheets or

shown to the left side of the drawing.

1) 12KV and 60KV Circuits:

See Exhibit “B” Symbols for how to delineate and show primary distribution

and transmission circuitry. When installing new poles, include height and

class next to each pole. In addition, if new work involves a 60KV pole line

include the height and class for each existing pole. Show all anchors, down

guys, sidewalk guys, and head guys in the work area. For existing guys


Drawing No:

SD 1800


include wire size, tension, and lead next to guying. For new guying include

wire size, tension, and lead in the construction notes. If a bend occurs in the

pole line show the pole line angle in degrees next to the bend location.

Dimension new poles to a known object that can be readily seen in the field

or identified (building, street light, property line, etc.). If staking notes are

needed, show them in sufficient detail to establish pole locations. Show all

property lines adjacent to the work area. Label on the drawings all Assessors

Parcel Numbers or addresses associated with the job.

When reconductoring or stringing new conductors, show the existing

conductor to be removed (solid line) along with the new wire to be

installed (dashed line). For each new span, show lengths between poles

above the span using regular font. Use construction notes to denote total

span lengths for the work area affected. In the corresponding wording for

the inscribed numerical hexagonal note include the number of spans along

with total length of all spans and stringing tension (example “String 3/397

AL 9 spans, 1,000’± Tension=Short Span Urban”.

J) 12KV Before and After:

Prepare “12KV Before and After” sketches for all estimates when the

primary circuitry will change (e.g., reconductoring, line extensions,

installation of protective devices, etc.). 12KV Before and After sketches

are not necessary for jobs that do not affect the primary circuitry (e.g.,

pole replacements and secondary rearrangement).

The 12KV Before and After sketches are usually attached to an estimate in

the upper right hand portion of a drawing. It illustrates how the proposed

construction will conform electrically (and sometimes geographically) to


Drawing No:

SD 1800


the surrounding circuit. The 12KV Before and After sketches show the

12KV circuits (not secondary) only. Use a scale as small as practical and

keep the sketch clear and readable. The 12KV before and after should

include all primary circuits to the first point that can open or close a circuit

such as a 12KV switch.

An excerpt from a 12KV Circuit Map is an acceptable source for the

12KV Before and After sketches. Label each sketch as "12 KV Before"

and "12 KV After" with scale or not to scale (N.T.S.) below title. Orient

sketches so that North arrow corresponds to City's Work drawings north

arrow. Use the sketch to illustrate how the construction will conform to

future plans for the area. Include conductor number and size, switch or

cutout location and position. Label circuit numbers. On "12KV After"

sketch show existing facilities as half tone (30% screening) and new

facilities to be installed dashed with no screening.

K) Transformers:

Show transformer size, voltage rating, estimated kVA load for new

transformer installations. Show phase connections for transformers when

needed for load balancing. Show the entire secondary systems. On

overhead installations show the secondary to the first open secondary

jumper or to the end of the secondary system on each side of the

transformer. Show all services coming off the secondary system. Only

show the size of services for the area affected by the work.

L) Guying:

On all estimates effecting the existing guying of secondary, primary, or

60KV circuits show all existing guying including down guys, head guys

and/or sidewalk guys. Use a leader line to show existing wire number,


Drawing No:

SD 1800


size, tension, and lead length, label using regular font. When a

Construction Note involves new guying, include wire number, size,

tension, and lead length in the Construction Note and do not use a leader

line.

M) Circuits:

All existing primary or secondary circuits are to be labeled using regular

font about ⅛ of inch above the lines representing the circuits. Information

shown is to include the number of conductors, conductor size, conductor

material, and operating voltage (12KV or SEC). Repeat above for each

circuit starting with the circuit at the bottom of the pole to the circuit at the

top of pole. If there are two primary overhead circuits between poles being

represented by two parallel lines the line nearest the symbol for pole is the

bottom 12KV circuit on the pole.

In addition, label new overhead conductors, including the span lengths,

about ⅛ of inch below the lines representing the circuits. Always show the

appropriate symbol for conductors, transformers, switches, etc. being

installed, replaced, or removed. Use an arrow to indicate when circuits

continue beyond the limits of the sketch.

N) Tree Outline:

Show the center point of the tree along with the drip line of all trees in

which the Overhead lines are within the tree’s drip line. Draft as a solid

thin line.

O) Cable Pulling:

When pulling underground primary conductors or secondary conductors

that can only be pulled in one direction, it is important for Silicon Valley

Power crews to know the direction to pull cables, cable tension, and


Drawing No:

SD 1800


approximate cable length. This is shown on the drawing by drafting an

arrow (→) using a thin line parallel to the pull placed about 1 inch ether

above or below the direction of conductor pull. If the arrow has two heads

(↔) it designates that the cable can be pulled in either direction.

About ⅛ of inch above this arrow show using regular font “T = (tension of

pull-maximum tension if cable can be pulled in either direction) #”. About

⅛ of inch below this arrow show using regular font “L = (cable length

+10’ for manholes and pull boxes , 6’ for transformers and vaults, or 35’

for primary riser) ‘ ±”. If you are pulling more than one set of the same

size conductor, show, using a regular font on the same line as the arrow,

“(number of conductor sets) Sets”. About ¾ of an inch above or below

arrow say using regular font “(conductor size)(conductor

material)(number of wires per set) 15KV”. Example: “1/0 AL TRI 15KV”

P) Shutdown Coordination:

When an estimate involves an outage to one or more customers include the

following note using bold regular size font “Field Foreman for shutdown

contact the following:” Make a table under the note using regular size font

which lists each Business Name, Business location, Name of person to

contact for outage, and Phone number of person to contact.

Q) Services:

For new services, using regular font, show conductor number, size and

type for each individual customer. Show building outline including

building address along with meter location. For existing overhead service

drops only include length of service drop. Do not show connected load at

each secondary distribution point. When adding load to an existing

secondary system or rearranging it, calculate the secondary load


Drawing No:

SD 1800


distribution, either by connected load at each service location or the

estimated demand at each pole or splice box and retain the information in

the estimate folder. Do not show voltage drop calculations on drawing, but

calculate the voltage drop at the service point for all new services and

retain the calculations in the estimate folder.

R) Meter Stamp:

For each meter to be installed a standard SVP Metering Data block is

required. Place the Metering Data block near the drawings sheet Title

Block either above or to the left of it. Using regular size font list the

service voltage, main size in Amperes, and the Multiplier used. Check

which boxes apply for KWH-CL and KWH/KW-CL circling meter class,

KVARH, TOU Recorder, CT’S, VT’S, 1Ph 2W, 1Ph 3W, 3Ph 3W, 3Ph

4W Y, and 3 Ph 4W ∆.

Group the meters by Main Size in Amperes. Above each Metering Data

block using regular size font say “(total number of meters) EA= (number

of meters excluding house meters) + (number of house meters) House

Meters”. If meters are on a Main Board, to the right of this state “Main

Board Discount = (main boards amperes) Amperes”. If there are meters at

deferent locations above this statement make a table listing “(number of

meters) Meters – (address or building number)”.

S) Accounts:

The different Expenditure Accounts to be used by the field crews to

complete the work required by the Estimate should be listed above the

bottom boarder of the drawing where space permits. Using bold regular

size font say: “Accounts Used” then under this using regular size font


Drawing No:

SD 1800


make a table listing all the account numbers of the different Expenditure

Accounts used.

T) Building Outlines:

Show all building(s) footprint on the site using a solid thin line for existing

or dashed thin line for proposed. Include numeric address (not street

name) using large, regular, or small size font depending on room aviable.

Place the address inside the building outline parallel to the direction of the

street on the building outline side nearest the street. Label in the center of

the building outline, using large, regular, or small size font depending on

room aviable, if building is “Existing” or “Proposed”.

3) Street Improvement Plans:

A) Purpose:

Certain work maybe required to be done on the City’s Streets or Right of

Ways by the Property owner as a condition of development approval for

the property, per City of Santa Clara requirements. This work is not

required for all Estimates. The City of Santa Clara Engineering

Department will determine if such work is required.

B) Drafting Requirements:

Refer to City of Santa Clara Engineering Department Design Criteria,

latest revision, and “Developer’s Work Drawings” of this Standard for

drafting requirements.

1. Provide a uniform electric substructure construction standard for new electric service installations within

the City of Santa Clara.

2. Define material requirements for electric substructures.

3. Define Developer’s substructure work requirements for electric installations.

4. Provide a guide, with respect to utility substructures, for new electric power system projects and for

changes to existing facilities.

5. Act as a supplement to detailed design drawings prepared by Silicon Valley Power (SVP).

Purpose of the Revision

This revised standard outlines and details the installation of underground substructures. This is a minor

revision to the previous revision 5 of the UG 1000 document that incorporates the references to conduit

spacer and trench backfill standard documents. Since it is a minor revision, it is numbered 5.1. No other

revisions were made to this document.
