New Construction/Upgrade Step-by-Step
1. To initiate the process, please complete the relevant load sheet and owner acknowledgement, making sure the owner signs both forms. Incomplete or unsigned load sheet/owner acknowledgement will not be accepted. You may submit your forms and payment to the options listed below:
· Online payments: email the completed and signed load sheet/owner acknowledgement to loadsheets@mpei.com. Upon receipt, a work order will be established, and payment instructions, as listed on the load sheet, will be emailed.
· Payment by check or cash: please mail payment with completed and signed load sheet/owner acknowledgement to: MPEI, Attn: Engineering, PO Box 170, Granby, CO 80446 or drop them off at our Granby office located at 321 E. Agate Avenue or our Walden office located on 600 3rd Street.
2. After processing the load sheet, owner acknowledgment, and payment, MPEI will contact the “site visit contact” specified on the load sheet to schedule a site visit with one of our staking technicians. This meeting is essential to go over job specifics and details. Please be sure to have the following information ready at the time of appointment:
a. Address posted on premise.
b. Proposed location and meter location (if metering on a house it must be clearly marked on the foundation or wall at minimum).
c. Front & back property pins clearly marked (not necessary if you are metering on house and the foundation is in).
3. Following the site visit, the staking technician will email to the owner, electrician, and contractor and the “site visit contact” to review the discussions and any modifications made to the original load sheet. Please note, in the event of amperage change, we will require the owner to acknowledge this change in writing.
4. The staking technician will design your job. Afterward, you will be provided with an estimate, along with a contract or invoice and necessary documents requiring owner signature(s) and payment. It’s important to note that in certain instances, a state inspection may be necessary before we can send the contract or invoice; your staking technician will keep you informed about this requirement.
5. Your job will be released to operations as soon as we receive the payment and any relevant paperwork. Construction typically is scheduled within two to three weeks, though timelines can vary.
6. Following the completion of construction, MPEI will conduct a reconciliation of your job. This process may result in either an additional invoice or refund in some cases. If there is additional amount owed, your staking technician will contact you directly before issuing the invoice to provide a detailed explanation of the additional charges.
Important Reminder: Once the job has been designed, it is your responsibility to notify your staking technician if you make any changes. Failure to do so may result in additional fees and potential construction delays.
We hope this quick overview helps with your new construction. If you have questions, feel free to contact your staking technician or engineering at (970)887-3378 ext. 721.
