About this file

This is a Priority Matrix exhibit for the Florida Keys Electric Cooperative (FKEC) supporting a Statement of Work for the inspection of electric distribution poles across the FKEC system. The document establishes inspection criteria and prioritization standards for identifying defects and conditions requiring remediation across multiple asset categories including wood, iron, concrete, and fiberglass poles; towers; foundations; conductors; arms and braces; vegetation; insulators; equipment; grounding systems; and associated infrastructure. The priority matrix categorizes defects into priority levels (P10, P20, P30, P40) based on severity and safety risk, with P10 representing the most critical conditions such as energized wire down or floating primary conductors, and IO designations for items requiring further investigation or non-critical observations. The inspection methodology aligns with Florida Public Service Commission Rule 25-18.020 requirements for pole inspections at least every eight years and National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) standards for strength and clearance compliance.

The matrix provides standardized inspection criteria across seven primary asset categories to support the systematic identification and documentation of distribution system defects during the seven-year inspection program. This prioritization framework enables FKEC to allocate maintenance and repair resources effectively based on safety risk and system integrity, with immediate-action items (P10 conditions) requiring urgent response, high-priority items (P20-P30) requiring timely correction, and investigative items (IO) requiring further assessment before determining appropriate action.
