Direct Communications Cedar Valley (DCCV)

Procedure for Real Estate Developers to Get Telecom Infrastructure Installed in a New Subdivision

  1. Submit Final Plat Vellum
    Bring your final plat vellum to our office at 3627 E Campus Drive, Eagle Mountain. We will sign the vellum (you must also obtain signatures from Questar and Rocky Mountain Power (RMP)). At that time, we will remind you that we need an electronic copy of the RMP design.
  2. Provide Design Files
    Once you receive your design drawings from RMP, forward them along with an electronic copy of your land base (CAD files of your subdivision drawing) to Direct Communications.
    Email: marjorie@directcomfiber.com
  3. DCCV Design Process
    Once we receive the RMP design, our engineering team will create a telecommunications layout based on that design.

    • We strive to utilize as much of the same trench as possible, but fiber optic cables often follow different paths and may originate from a different direction than RMP.
    • We also attempt to use the same street crossings (chases) when feasible.
  4. Telecommunications Design Delivery
    Our engineer will send you a telecommunications cable design drawing as soon as practical—typically within two weeks of receiving the RMP design.
  5. Pre-Construction Coordination
    Before construction begins, notify DCCV of the pre-construction conference. This meeting allows your excavation contractor to coordinate directly with our outside plant manager on trenching details and construction requirements.
  6. Construction Notification
    DCCV must be notified two weeks prior to ditches being opened. Our team will arrive at the scheduled time to install the required ductwork, handholes (small vaults), and other supporting infrastructure.
  7. Charges and Tariff Information
    Currently, DCCV performs this work at no cost to the developer. However, this policy will change in the near future.
    Our approved tariff allows:

    • $200 per lot in a joint construction operation, or
    • Full construction cost if the developer does not provide trenching.

    DCCV reserves the right to apply tariffed charges.
