West McCracken County Water DistrictResponse to Commission Staffs First Request for Information
CASE NO. 2017-0122
1. Refer to West McCracken's March 6, 2017 e-mail response to a request for clarification
from the Commission's Staff ("e-mail response"). West McCracken stated, "The last five
encroachment permits with the State Department of Highways for long side installations
average 74 feet, (which) we rounded down to 70 feet.
a. Provide D.W. Excavating invoices for each of the Long Side Meter Installations West
McCracken contracted for in 2015 and 2016. Include all supporting documents that
indicate the length of each of the road bores.
b. If the response to (a.) aboveis less than 70 feet, explainwhy is it appropriate to include
the entire 70 feet in the calculation.
Response:
(l.a.) Invoices from D.W. Excavating for eight long service installations are included
for 2015 and 2016 along with a summary table of those invoices in Exhibit 1.
A copy of the last five encroachment permits which are dated July, 2015 through
February, 2017 required from the Kentucky State Department of Highways are
included in Exhibit 2. A highway encroachment permit is only needed when boring
under a state road. County roads are not required to have a highway encroachment
permit.
Witness: Sheila Mansfield
(1 .b.) The response to 1.a. is more than 70 feet in calculation, therefore,no explanation
is required.

2. Refer to West McCracken's email response. In reply to Commission Staffs question
regarding how the current contractor (D.W. Excavating) was chosen, West McCracken
stated, "Bids were taken under a previous Superintendent."
a. Provide the length oftime D.W. Excavatinghas been performing these services forWest McCracken.
b. Provide the date when these services were last formally bid.c. Explain whether West McCracken has performed a study regarding whether it would
be more cost-effective to have its own employees install meter cormections. If so,provide the study.
Response:
(2.a.) D.W. Excavating has been performing these services for West McCracken since
September, 2011.
Witness: Sheila Mansfield
(2.b.) The last bid taken for these services were under a previous Superintendent and
we have not been able to find any record of those bids. We have not bid this service
formally, but have contacted local contractors and only one contractor (Murtco Inc.)
responded other than D.W Excavating.
Witness: Sheila Mansfield
(2.C.) West McCracken has not performed a study regarding whether it would be more
cost-effective to have its own employees install meter connections. West McCracken
would have to purchase the necessary equipment and employ a backhoe operator and feel
like it would not be cost-effective.
Witness: Sheila Mansfield
3. Refer to West McCracken's March 12, 2017 e-mail correspondence to the Commission's
Staff. Keith Murt of Murtco, Inc. assumesa length of 40 feet to 50 feet averagedirectional
boring for its quote. Explain why it is appropriate for West McCracken to use 70 feet in
its application.
Response:
It is appropriate for West McCracken to use 70 feet in its application because we used an
averageof West McCracken's bore lengths. We emailedKeith Murt for an explanationof
his quote and included a copy ofhis response is in Exhibit 3.

RE: Meter Set and Bore PricingTo [email protected] <[email protected]>
Kim,
Below is the original email with our quoted prices that you requested.
Istated the bores would be 40'-50' in length.
This footage was an estimate for a standard two-lane county road from past experience. It was not intended for thesefootages to be interpreted as exact.
We would charge the per foot price for whatever the bore length ends up for that particular job.
Ifyou need anything further, please let me know.

4. Refer to West McCracken's application Average Meter Connection Expense Cost
Justification, B,Materials Expenses, (6). West McCracken uses theaverage cost of6-inch,
8-inch, and 10-inch saddle sizes. Explain why these sizes areused andwhyother sizes are
not included in the calculation.
Response:
West McCracken used theaverage of6,8, and10inchsaddle sizes since thisis themajority
of pipe size in the West McCracken County Water District. We have included a map for
yourreview in Exhibit 4. Youwillnotethatthereis a very, verysmall percentage of water
main that is less than 6, 8, and 10 inch water main.
