EXHIBIT A
ATTACHMENT SPECIFICATIONS
1. SCOPE
This exhibit covers Portland General Electric (pGE) specifications and requirements for
attachments to overhead facilities. including, ,but not limited to. distribution and
transmission poles and towers ("PGE Facilities"). These specifications maybe subject to
change from time to time.
2. OBJECTIVES
PGE attachment specifications were developed to meet the following concerns.
2.1 Safety of Electrical and Communications Workers
a) Clearance between power & comm.
b) Climbing Space clearance
2.2 Structural Integrity of the Pole (i.e. safety of the public)
a) Factors effecting loading and moment
2.3 Environmental Degradation of the Pole
a) Penetration of protective barrier
2.4 Loss of Use
a) Finite space available for attachment
3. REFERENCE STANDARDS
All grounding, loading. strength requirements. clearances. climbing and working
space requirements or other applicable items shall meet the minimum requirements
of the latest edition of the National Electric Safety Code (NESC). PGE Overhead
Transmission & Distribution Line Construction Standards shall be followed, where
applicable. [PGE Standards can be made available upon request.]
4. DEFINITIONS
Communications Space - The vertical space on a pole, between the elevations of 20
feet and 23 feet above ground level, which is occupied by communications lines.
Separation Space - The vertical space on a pole separating the supply space and the
communications space. This space is intended to provide a safe working clearance
for workers in the communications space and shall, at a minimum, maintain 40 inches
of clearance between the supply space and the communications space.
T

page.L- of
Supply Space - The vertical space on a pole that is occupied by the electric supply
conductors and/or hardware. The supply space is measured from the top of the pole
and extends down to the 26' 5" elevation above true ground level.
Climbing Space - The space necessary to provide a clear path for a worker while
climbing a pole. The climbing space allows a worker to safely pass equipment to get
to any point on the pole.
Attachment - Any piece of equipment that occupies space and/or effects the
structural integrity of the pole will be considered as an attachment. This includes, but
is not limited to;
messenger strand
power supplies
amplifiers
terminal boxes
conduit or risers not on PGE brackets
I-hooks
span guys
overlashed cable
pole stands
Hardware - Any construction or framing hardware used to attach equipment to the
pole is to be considered as part of the attachment and Licensee property. This
includes, but is not limited to,
cross arms
brackets
fiber arms
through bolts
lag bolts
eye bolts
down guys
Use of such hardware does not preclude the need to permit for each piece of
equipment supported by the pole.
4. POLE SPACE ALLOCATION
All PGE transmission and distribution poles are 100% PGE owned and all
communications company attachments are subject to the Facilities Attachment
Agreement. PGE's standard distribution pole is a 40 foot, class IV pole (ref. Figure
23 ).
A 3 foot space is reserved for communications attachments. This space extends from
20 feet to 23 feet above grade. No non- PGE communication attachment shall be
allowed above or below this space, without express PGE approval on the attachment
permit.

If the communications space is filled on a pole and a communications company wishes
to attach. they may request that PGE install a taller pole or. if clearance requirements
permit, they may apply for an overbuild attachment.
5. GENERAL ATTACHMENT REQUIREMENTS
5.1 Cable and Guys
Communications lines shall be attached to the same side of the pole as the power
neutral conductor. If the power neutral conductor is on a primary crossarm,
communications cables shall be installed on the road face of the pole.
Communications lines shall be tensioned or guyed in a way that does not alter the
angle of existing structures or change the sag characteristics of power conductors.
Communications guys may be attached to PGE anchors provided the anchor has
sufficient unused strength to support the attachment. If the existing anchor cannot
support an additional guy attachment, then the attaching entity must provide a new
anchor.
All guys shall be bonded or shall have strain insulators installed.
Additional specifications can be found in Section LC-I04 of PGE's Overhead
Transmission & Distribution Construction Standards.
5.2 Pole Drilling
Field drilling of pole holes is prohibited. All attachments shall make use of pre-
drilled holes, unless specific authorization has been granted on the attachment
permit.
Field drilled holes, when permitted, shall be treated with a two percent (2 %)
copper naphthenate solution or other PGE approved preservative.
5.3 Equipment Mounting
Through bolt ends shall not protrude more than two inches beyond the nut on the
other side of the pole. Attachments to steel poles shall be bolted or welded.
Banding attachments to steel poles is not permitted. Galvanized surfaces damaged
during attachment shall be re-coated.
5.4 Risers
Communications cables transitioning from overhead to underground shall be
mounted in riser conduits. Service wires may be attached directly to the pole,
contiguous to the pole ground if present.
Communication risers shall be installed on the pole face (ref. Figure 1 ). All risers
except for power supply risers shall be installed in conduit and mounted on 15
inch standoff brackets to provide a minimum 5 inch clearance from the pole.
Existing standoff brackets shall be used when available. If new brackets are
,.'

needed, the communications company shall provide and install brackets approved
by PGE. Brackets shall be spaced 5 feet apart with the lowermost bracket no
lower than 7 feet - 6 inches above ground line (ref. Figure 2 ).
Power risers for pole mounted communication power supplies must be installed
high enough to ensure that the 40 inch separation space is maintained between the
bottom of the drip loop and the top of the communications space (ref. Figure 3 ).
In no case shall the bottom of the drip loop be lower than the lowermost piece of
pole hardware in the supply space. Maximum power riser diameter is 1-1/2 inch.
Pole mounted power supplies shall be designed for 120 volt, 15 amp single phase
servIce.
Electric service for any equipment that is not a self contained pole mounted power
supply shall be provided by a PGE installed underground service pedestal or
overhead service drop.
5.5 Enclosures
Communications enclosures shall preferably be pedestal mounted. Minimum
clearance from the enclosure to the pole shall be no less than 3 feet and shall be at
least 4 feet when conditions permit (ref. Figure 4 ). If pole mounted, enclosure
shall be on the road face of the pole, unless otherwise approved by PGE.
Enclosure shall be mounted on standoff brackets to provide a minimum 5 inch
clearance from the pole. Maximum pole mounted enclosure size is 26 inches wide
x 36 inches high x 16 inches deep. All enclosures shall be identified by owner
and unique ID number, with the identifying tag discernible from the ground. All
metallic enclosures shall be effectively grounded.
A three foot zone is allocated for mounting communications enclosures. This zone
extends from 13 feet to 16 feet above ground line (ref. Figure 3 ). Enclosures that
overhang the road must have at least 15 feet of clearance from their lowest point
to the road. Multiple enclosures are allowed within this three foot zone as long as
a minimum of one foot separation between enclosures is maintained. No more
than one power supply enclosure per pole is permitted.
Battery pack power supplies and power supplies that may be supplied by portable
generators during outage conditions must be equipped with feedback voltage
protection to prevent power from the unit being routed back into PGE's system.
5.6 Grounding
Conductive communications messengers shall be bonded when PGE pole grounds
are present. The pole ground shall not be cut or damaged when connecting
attaching entity grounds (ref. Figure 5 ).
If a ground is needed and no PGE pole ground is available, the attaching entity
may install their ground and extend a #4 solid soft drawn copper ground wire up
to the top of the communications space, leaving sufficient ground wire coiled to

reach and connect to PGE's neutral. PGE Crew Dispatch must be immediately
(i.e. the same day) notified that the ground wire is ready for connection. PGE
will extend and connect the ground wire to the neutral.
5.7 Decorative Attachments
All decorative attachments, including but not limited to, banners, hanging flower
baskets, or Christmas lights, shall be mounted on the road face of the pole (ref.
Figure 6 ), unless otherwise permitted by PGE. Banners or other decorative
attachments shall not be strung between PGE poles or between a PGE pole and
any other supporting member or structure, unless specifically permitted, in
writing, by PGE. Decorative attachments shall be mounted so that they measure at
least 18 feet above the roadway at their lowest point and shall extend no further
than 42 inches away from the pole. Maximum allowable weight of decorative
attachments, including mounting bracket, is 50 pounds.
5.8 Identification
Each attachment shall be identified with a tag that, at a minimum, includes the
name of the attachment owner and a telephone number to call in case of
emergency. The tag should be identifiable from the ground.
6. CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
6.1 Distribution Clearances (at Supports)
A minimum clearance of 40 inches must be maintained between the bottom of the
supply space and the top of the communications space. Supply equipment includes,
but is not limited to, neutral and secondary clevises, bare and insulated secondary
wires, guy hardware and equipment platforms (ref. Figures 12 - 15 ).
If the primary and neutral conductors are mounted on a crossarm at the same level
and there is no other supply equipment mounted below the primary arm, then the
minimum clearance between the supply conductors and the communications space
is 10 feet (ref. Figure 16 ).
6.2 Distribution Clearances (at Midspan)
Midspan clearance between the supply space and the communications space at any
point in the span cannot be less than 30 inches from secondary/service/neutral
conductors and 5 feet - 3 inches from primary conductors (ref. Figures 13 & 14 ).
Midspan clearances are measured based on the final unloaded sag at the maximum
operating temperature of the supply conductors.
6.3 Transmission Clearances
Clearances on transmission poles that have no distribution underbuild will be
stipulated on the attachment permit.
6.4 Street Light and Traffic Signal Clearances
Street lights and traffic signals may be mounted in the separation space or below

the communications space, provide certain minimum clearances are met.
When mounted above communications cable, a minimum of 12 inches of clearance
must be maintained between the top of the communications space and the bottom
of the street light drip loop. A minimum of 20 inches of clearance must be
maintained between the top of the communications space and the bottom of the
street light bracket (ref. Figure 15 ). This minimum clearance can be reduced to 3
inches wherever the drip loop is covered.
When the street light is mounted below the communications space, a minimum of
20 inches of clearance must be maintained between the bottom of the
communications space and the top of the street light bracket. A minimum of 40
inches of clearance must be maintained between the bottom of the communications
space and uncovered street light conductors. Energized street light conductors
passing through the communications space will have a protective molding installed
(ref. Figure 16 ).
6.5 Service Entrance Clearance
Communication service drops shall have a minimum 12 inch clearance from
PGE's service drops at any point in the span down to their point of attachment at
the customer's service entrance (ref. Figure 17 ).
6.6 Climbing Space
A clear climbing space of 30 inches x 30 inches between communications service
drop cables must be provided, for ensuring adequate clearances on the pole for
safe ascent and descent by line personnel (ref. Figure 18 ). This space must
extend 40 inches above and below the limiting cables. The space can rotate every
6 feet.
6.7 Clearance from Support Structures
A minimum of 3 feet (4 feet when available) of clearance must be maintained
from the supporting structure to any other structure. Non-PGE equipment shall
maintain a minimum of 5 feet of clearance from any PGE supporting structure.
