Municipal Services Director
Cityof Moses Lake

Moses Lake,WA 98837
Dear Mr.Harer:
Bank of America is planning the installationof a new drive up ATM at our branch
located at 103 E 3rd Avenue.This installation requires an underground cable run
consisting of a fiber optic line (forsecurity)and a dedicated power circuit between the
existing branch building and the proposed ATM location.The .cable
run will be
encapsulated in four runs of 2"high-density polyurethane conduit and will be
performed in strict accordance with city and state requirements.
No trenching or asphalt work on city property should be required as we anticipate using
a non-intrusive method of horizontal boringto minimize any inconvenience to the City
of Moses Lake and its citizens.And if it should become necessary to trench we will use
utmost care in restoring city property to its original condition.
It is our understanding that there are typically two readings of the ordinance required
for approvaL We are requesting this project be approved with one reading (on
November 11,2003)due to the urgent nature of this project.There are company wide
implications that could be avoided with a timely approval.
The.site plan indicating the proposed route of the.under ground cable is attached for
your review.I will.be present at the City.Council meetirig on November 11,to address
any questions or concerns you may have.In the meantime,please feel free to call me at
(206)358-0945 with any questions or comments concerning this or any other matter.
Respectfully yours.
