Financial Impact and Cost/Benefit Considerations: The pole contract for this project is in the bidding process and the final award is to be available in September 2019. The pole cost is estimated at $3,000,000.

Discussion
Recommendation to approve the contract for purchasing poles to upgrade the Whitestone - Blockhouse - Leander transmission line to bundled 795 ACSR 138kV. The project will include the installation of 5.4 miles of line with 50 galvanized steel transmission poles. The transmission line upgrade improves the existing line by increasing the capacity and adding optical ground wire fiber to improve communications and reliability.
