Construction Form

Congratulations on your new property and welcome to Midwest Energy and Communications.

Please read and complete all sections on this form. We cannot move forward until all items are received.

We require a $100 non-refundable deposit to complete an assessment of the project. Once we receive this completed form, we will send you an invoice for the deposit. Once we receive payment, we will contact you to schedule an appointment for a Line Design Technician to visit your property. Following the visit from the technician, you will receive an invoice for the full cost of the project minus your $100 deposit.

If you are attending the appointment, we will also bring your right-of-way easement form. If your contractor will attend the meeting on your behalf, we will send the easement with your invoice.

Please note: your invoice needs to be paid and the easement needs to be returned to our office prior to the start of construction.

We look forward to being your energy partner.

Step 1. Application for Service

The undersigned hereby applies for electric service from MIDWEST ENERGY & COMMUNICATIONS (MEC) and in consideration of the acceptance of this application agrees with MEC on the following:

The undersigned will grant to MEC, at its request, the necessary rights, privileges, easements and necessary tree work to construct, operate, replace, repair and perpetually maintain equipment on the property owned or occupied by the undersigned and in or upon all roads, streets or highways abutting said property or the line or lines for the transmission or distribution of electric energy.

Step 2. Hold Harmless Agreement

MEC is committed to completing your project in a timely and professional manner. However, member-owned underground facilities are not marked or protected by Miss Dig, so we must have the signed Hold Harmless Agreement before we proceed. Also, despite our most diligent efforts, ruts or other cosmetic property damage may result as we move vehicles or equipment onto your property. The agreement is limited to the service location and expires upon completion of this project or removal of facilities.

I agree that MEC is not responsible for damage to any unmarked, member-owned underground facilities as it relates to work at the service location. This includes secondary electric, water, phone, gas, septic, well head and any other underground facilities. I further agree that MEC is not responsible for yard or property damage incurred as a result of accessing property for this project.
