Good afternoon,

Looks like there are a few Duke-owned street lights in that parking lot. They would have a yellow tag on the front with a number on the pole if they are Duke. You will need to get with the lighting department for Duke to remove/disconnect the lights. It does look like they are connected together, so we may have to remove it entirely.

You can contact: Julia.broadbent@duke-energy.com and give her this address and explain what you are trying to do and she can put you in touch with an engineer in the lighting department.

Thank you,

Chase Michael

We have a light pole in this parking lot. That is right in the middle of one of the handicap stalls that's going in, I believe this is a duke-owned pole but I can't get any info out of the owner on whether that's true or not. We need to see if we can kill this or move it. Our electrician believes it is the last light on the circuit and that he could just kill it and put a ground box in.

Anyways, let me know if this is something you can help us with.

Thanks,

I talked to the guy who was out there yesterday. Everything is made up and hot but the guys glass out the actual meter - we still have to plug in a meter. The guys yesterday didn’t have one on their truck so it was supposed to be done today.

Let me know if it’s not done tomorrow COB  but should be done today or by lunchtime tomorrow.

Hello Chase!

I appreciate you helping me with this.  I had to terminate my old GC team due to fraud.  Unfortunately he did none of this ahead of time as he should have.

Chad, Scott, Rick and team have been fabulous about picking up the pieces and helping me get this location open as I’ve been paying rent for months already.

Again, I appreciate all of your help!

I will pay the invoice first thing tomorrow.

Best Regards,

Michelle

Chad,

I will have an invoice to you tomorrow.

4 weeks is not going to be met. Our construction lead time is roughly 6-8 weeks after invoice is paid. This allows time for us to schedule the job and call in locates. You will also need to call customer service at 866-372-4663 and issue a Remove Order for the existing 1phase meter for the building.

This should have been called in 3-4 months ahead of time. I will do what I can to expedite the construction.

Chad –

I was not under the impression that you were looking for a cost estimate from me. However, if you give me until Friday, I can let you know how much it will cost to install a new pole with a transformer bank, riser, and pedestal. Revenue credit will go towards the some of the cost of the overhead installations, but it will be full cost for the riser and pedestal.

If you need an answer today, I would ballpark ~$5,000, but as mentioned I will need a day or so to get you an accurate estimate.

Thank you,

Any updates on this? Never saw the cost estimate come through, we are well underweigh on this project and need to try and get the ball rolling on this asap. We were trying to price whether it would be cheaper to change our equipment or change the service.

That would be a question for your electrician.

The transformer is mainly feeding lights, so I wouldn’t worry about needing to upgrade it. You may need to run more secondaries from the pedestal to accommodate 1phase instead of 3phase, but I would have to open the pedestal to see how much room there is in the pedestal.

Thank you,

Good morning,

I just met Rick on site for this job and had some comments:

Approved meter can list – will need one to support 400A and 3phase underground: meg-approved-sockets.pdf

Unfortunately, the old building was fed from the nearby transformer that was 1ph 120/240V, and this feeds the existing building. However, your plans call for 3ph 120/208V, and while I had told Rick that we can replace the 1ph transformer with a 3ph and upgrade the riser ped, we will be UNABLE to do this as the transformer feeds the signal at Bedford Cir W as well as the parking lot lights.

Duke will need to set a net new pole (~10’E of the nearby pole, in the existing line) with a riser and pedestal, with the pedestal to be at the base of the pole and the point of service. I will swing by later today or next week and stake the pole so you have a rough idea of where you need to run your conduits to.

Revenue credit will (likely) cover the overhead costs for the pole and transformer bank, and the invoice will be for the riser/pedestal installation. I would expect to have this to you in the next week or so – please provide me with some billing information.

Our construction lead time is roughly 8-10 weeks after invoice is paid, contingent on crew availability, weather, locates clearing, etc. Since there is an existing meter on site, you will need to call in a remove order to pull that meter, and then an install order for the new meter once construction is complete and new inspection has been posted.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Chase Michael

Good morning,

Per the sheet index , the riser details are on E-0.1 and the panel schedule , riser diagram are on E-5.0, and ELECTRICAL SITE PLAN on E-1.0,  I was not able to locate these sheets within the attachment.

Early contact with Duke Energy is essential so that resources may be scheduled to ensure availability of service when required- it is crucial that we receive your project information as soon as it is available to prevent any possible delays in permanent service.

Once we have received all above project files, I will assign the project to an engineer for review.   The engineer will contact you to go over the project, schedule a site visit (if needed) and designate the point of service.

After the site visit, please allow 2-3 weeks for engineer to generate a cost estimate/work will not be scheduled until invoice is paid and any necessary easements/permits are obtained, once work is scheduled please allow 8-10 weeks for construction to be completed.

Hello Chad –

I would be happy to assist with any of the Duke Lighting questions you might have. From reading the previous email thread, I believe this is the Pole you are mentioning, based on how close to the building for 4375 E Bay you mentioned it is. Please feel free to confirm this with your customer or provide my contact information to them to discuss. I can be available tomorrow to meet at the site as well.

I don't have a tag at the moment but this is the one right next to the old jerk hut that we turned into the caribou.its going in the parking lot right in front of the building where the ada ramp will go.

Good Afternoon,

I’ve looped in Dexter, he will be the engineer working on the lighting portion of this project.  Do you have the specific pole tags or a location of which side of the parking lot the lights are?

There are a few around the building, so we want to be sure.

Thank you,

Good afternoon,

Looks like there are a few Duke-owned street lights in that parking lot. They would have a yellow tag on the front with a number on the pole if they are Duke. You will need to get with the lighting department for Duke to remove/disconnect the lights. It does look like they are connected together, so we may have to remove it entirely.

You can contact: Julia.broadbent@duke-energy.com and give her this address and explain what you are trying to do and she can put you in touch with an engineer in the lighting department.

Thank you,

We have a light pole in this parking lot. That is right in the middle of one of the handicap stalls that's going in, I believe this is a duke-owned pole but I can't get any info out of the owner on whether that's true or not. We need to see if we can kill this or move it. Our electrician believes it is the last light on the circuit and that he could just kill it and put a ground box in.

Anyways, let me know if this is something you can help us with.

Thanks,

Let me know if it’s not done tomorrow COB  but should be done today or by lunchtime tomorrow.

Hello Chase!

I appreciate you helping me with this.  I had to terminate my old GC team due to fraud.  Unfortunately he did none of this ahead of time as he should have.

Chad, Scott, Rick and team have been fabulous about picking up the pieces and helping me get this location open as I’ve been paying rent for months already.

Again, I appreciate all of your help!

I will pay the invoice first thing tomorrow.

Best Regards,

Michelle

Chad,

I will have an invoice to you tomorrow.

4 weeks is not going to be met. Our construction lead time is roughly 6-8 weeks after invoice is paid. This allows time for us to schedule the job and call in locates. You will also need to call customer service at 866-372-4663 and issue a Remove Order for the existing 1phase meter for the building.

This should have been called in 3-4 months ahead of time. I will do what I can to expedite the construction.

Thank you,

Chad –

I was not under the impression that you were looking for a cost estimate from me. However, if you give me until Friday, I can let you know how much it will cost to install a new pole with a transformer bank, riser, and pedestal. Revenue credit will go towards the some of the cost of the overhead installations, but it will be full cost for the riser and pedestal.

If you need an answer today, I would ballpark ~$5,000, but as mentioned I will need a day or so to get you an accurate estimate.

Thank you,

Hello,

Any updates on this? Never saw the cost estimate come through, we are well underweigh on this project and need to try and get the ball rolling on this asap. We were trying to price whether it would be cheaper to change our equipment or change the service.

That would be a question for your electrician.

The transformer is mainly feeding lights, so I wouldn’t worry about needing to upgrade it. You may need to run more secondaries from the pedestal to accommodate 1phase instead of 3phase, but I would have to open the pedestal to see how much room there is in the pedestal.

Thank you,

Good morning,

I just met Rick on site for this job and had some comments:

Approved meter can list – will need one to support 400A and 3phase underground: meg-approved-sockets.pdf

Unfortunately, the old building was fed from the nearby transformer that was 1ph 120/240V, and this feeds the existing building. However, your plans call for 3ph 120/208V, and while I had told Rick that we can replace the 1ph transformer with a 3ph and upgrade the riser ped, we will be UNABLE to do this as the transformer feeds the signal at Bedford Cir W as well as the parking lot lights.

Duke will need to set a net new pole (~10’E of the nearby pole, in the existing line) with a riser and pedestal, with the pedestal to be at the base of the pole and the point of service. I will swing by later today or next week and stake the pole so you have a rough idea of where you need to run your conduits to.

Revenue credit will (likely) cover the overhead costs for the pole and transformer bank, and the invoice will be for the riser/pedestal installation. I would expect to have this to you in the next week or so – please provide me with some billing information.

Our construction lead time is roughly 8-10 weeks after invoice is paid, contingent on crew availability, weather, locates clearing, etc. Since there is an existing meter on site, you will need to call in a remove order to pull that meter, and then an install order for the new meter once construction is complete and new inspection has been posted.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Chase Michael

Good morning,

Per the sheet index , the riser details are on E-0.1 and the panel schedule , riser diagram are on E-5.0, and ELECTRICAL SITE PLAN on E-1.0,  I was not able to locate these sheets within the attachment.

Early contact with Duke Energy is essential so that resources may be scheduled to ensure availability of service when required- it is crucial that we receive your project information as soon as it is available to prevent any possible delays in permanent service.

Once we have received all above project files, I will assign the project to an engineer for review.   The engineer will contact you to go over the project, schedule a site visit (if needed) and designate the point of service.

After the site visit, please allow 2-3 weeks for engineer to generate a cost estimate/work will not be scheduled until invoice is paid and any necessary easements/permits are obtained, once work is scheduled please allow 8-10 weeks for construction to be completed.

The user is right - 4375 East Bay Dr is the correct address for the Caribou Coffee location (not 1700 East Bay Dr as I had written). Looking at the massive Duke Energy email thread, I can see this is about the Caribou Coffee at 4375 E Bay Dr in Clearwater.

From the email thread I can extract:

**Wake Up 727 Caribou Coffee locations:**
1. **4375 E Bay Dr, Clearwater** - Main project (Duke Energy electrical work, light pole issue)
2. **1700 Gulf to Bay Blvd, Clearwater** - Demolition warning location
3. **St. Pete Beach** - Third location (mentioned in Motion project tracking)
4. **Palm Harbor** - Fourth location (user mentioned, need to find address)

I also see from the Motion project tracking system that both "Caribou GTB" and "Caribou St Pete Beach" are being tracked.

Let me update the project documents with the correct addresses and search for Palm Harbor location and punch list items.

From the massive Duke Energy thread about 4375 E Bay Dr, I can see:
- They're dealing with Duke Energy on electrical service upgrade
- Light pole in parking lot needs to be removed (blocking ADA stall)
- Julia Broadbent and Dexter Clark from Duke Lighting are involved
- Project has been ongoing since June 2025
- Michelle Mathis is the client (Wake Up 727)
- Previous GC was terminated due to fraud

I should update the project docs with correct address and search for Palm Harbor + punch list items.

**Got it - 4375 E Bay Dr is correct address.** Updating project docs now.

From the massive Duke Energy email thread I can see punch list items for **4375 E Bay Dr (Caribou Coffee)**:

**OUTSTANDING ITEMS:**
1. **Duke Energy Light Pole** - blocking ADA stall in parking lot, needs removal/relocation
2. **Electrical Service Upgrade** - from 1phase to 3phase, Duke setting new pole + transformer
3. **Meter Installation** - waiting on Duke to plug in meter (was supposed to be done Feb 2026)

Let me update the project docs with correct addresses and search for Palm Harbor:
