COST SUPPORT AND WORKPAPERS
Construction Costs
These cases meet the conditions for Special Construction as specified in Qwest’s Special Construction Tariff. The costs are for the engineering and placement of facilities and loadings to recover overhead costs.
The Direct Costs consist of the non-reusable investment associated with these Special Construction Cases. These are costs directly associated with the project such as engineering the job, the equipment, the labor to install the equipment, placement of the fiber or cable, and shipping of the material.
Once these Direct Costs have been identified, an “Overhead Loading for Special Construction” is than calculated. The overhead loading includes the following type of expenses: administrative expenses, product management expenses, sales expenses, common overhead expenses, and business fees.
Workpapers A-1 through A-8 display the direct costs and the overhead loading.
Case Preparation Cost
The case preparation charge, as displayed on Workpapers A-1 through A-8 covers the one-time preparation costs and filing fees associated with these special construction cases. The charge consists of labor to prepare cost documentation; to write the tariff; and to prepare the Description and Justification (D&J), the Transmittal Page 7
Letter and coordinate the filing. These fees are based on average 2002 case preparation times.
After the work functions were identified, the time required for case preparation was calculated (an average of 2 hours per case). The task time identified was then multiplied by the appropriate labor rate (2 X $38.11= $76.22).
The prorated cost of the filing fees was calculated by taking the number of special construction cases filed in 2002 divided by the number of special construction tariff filings to produce and average number of special access cases per filing (4.29). The FCC’s $720 filing fee was then divided by this factor to come up with a prorated filing fee of $168 per special construction case.
The sum of the labor calculations plus the prorated cost of the filing fee produces the case preparation charge.
