incremental costs of relocation , removal and/or rearrangement of overhead versus underground facilities . The term "incremental costs " shall mean the difference between the estimated cost that FPL would incur if the relocation, removal and/or rearrangement were being done with respect to an overhead line, compared to the estimated cost incurred in relocating , removing and/or rearranging the underground line . The incremental costs associated with any relocation , removal and/or rearrangement will be determined and calculated in accordance with FPL ' s approved tariffs , currently Tariff 6 . 096, Section 10 . 2 . 13 (a) (b) and Tariff 6 . 530 , Section 13 . 2 . 12 (h) . Overhead and underground installation differential costs per foot of feeder will be determined utilizing FPL ' s approved Tariff 6 . 530 , Section 13 . 2 . 12 (h) . The cost differential to relocate , remove and/or rearrange overhead and underground facilities will be determined utilizing FPL ' s cost estimating system and current costs . The term "incremental costs " shall not include costs associated with any increase in the size of the underground facilities unless such increase is requested by the County or an affected FPL Customer or Customers or is the result of conformance with a new FPL technical standard for the underground facilities (applicable to all underground facilities) at the time of the relocation, removal and/or rearrangement . Such conformance does not include an expansion of the underground distribution facilities initiated by FPL to serve additional FPL Customers or unrelated to a new FPL technical standard for underground facilities applicable to all underground facilities . Local Government shall reimburse FPL for all costs to expose , protect or support the Underground Facilities , whether underground or above ground, in the event of future construction or excavation , when such services are required by Local Government or other agency with control over the Local Government ROW or Other ROW . Local Government shall use its best efforts in any design and construction of its future road improvement projects to avoid or mitigate the necessity of relocating or adjusting the Underground Facilities in Local Government ROW and , to the extent reasonably practicable , in Other ROW . Local Government shall only be responsible for relocation costs associated with replacement facilities conforming to FPL standards in effect at the time of relocation . Any costs associated with the replacement facilities to provide increased capacity, improved reliability, future use facilities , or other such enhancements over and above the FPL standards in effect at the time of the relocation shall not be the responsibility of Local Government . Nothing herein shall preclude Local Government from obtaining reimbursement for any and all costs of requiring FPL to relocate or rearrange any of its Underground Facilities from those FPL customers to be served by the Underground Facilities or their successors or assigns , or other entities that initiated the requirement for the relocation or rearrangement of the facilities , excluding only other agencies which own or have jurisdiction over the ROW . FPL shall be responsible for any and all costs of removal or relocation when such removal or relocation is initiated by FPL . Additionally, FPL agrees that when any portion of a street is excavated by FPL in the location, relocation or repair of any of its facilities when said location, relocation or repair is initiated by FPL , the portion of the street so excavated shall , within a reasonable time and as early as practical after such excavation , be replaced by FPL at its expense in a condition as good as it was at the time of such excavation .
