SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY - GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR LINE EXTENSIONS
These are the general conditions under which Southern California Gas Company ("SoCalGas") will provide
line extensions for Applicants.
I. COSTS
A. Estimates and Duration. The enclosed Exhibit A estimate is valid for 90 days and may be revised
after that time if the installation of gas facilities for the Project has not begun. Once SoCalGas
begins the installation, the estimated cost will remain in effect for twelve (12) months. If at the
end of the twelve (12) months the work is not complete, SoCalGas reserves the right to calculate its
costs for the work completed, less applicable allowances, and issue a new project and Line Extension
Contract for the remaining installation work. Applicants who submit a new application for gas line
extension(s) on or after July 1, 2023 must pay SoCalGas the actual cost, but the estimated amount is
due and payable in advance. Because of unforeseen contingencies and other factors, the actual cost may
be considerably higher or lower than this estimate. Therefore, the estimate is not a warranty by
SoCalGas of the actual cost. If additional monies are due, Applicant agrees to pay them within 30 days
after invoice. Applicant will be responsible for costs of engineering, planning, surveying, right of
way acquisition and other associated costs. Estimated and actual cost excludes Betterments and Utility
Convenience.
B. Allowances. Applicant(s) receiving allowances as an offset to the installation costs are
responsible for these costs and may be billed subject to the following: line extension(s) where
allowances have been granted to the Applicant based on future gas load(s) must have the gas meter(s)
installed and turned on with bona fide load within six (6) months for main/main and service(s)
installations and twelve (12) months for service(s) only installations. These time frames commence
from the date SoCalGas completed the installation of gas facilities. If Applicant fails to comply, the
Applicant will be billed for the difference between estimated allowances and authorized allowances, as
described in Tariff Rule Nos. 20 and/or 21. The bill amount will include Income Tax Component
Contribution and Advances (ITCCA/CIAC) Tax. Applicant requested temporary service(s) are fully
collectible. Refunds shall be made and calculated in accordance with Rule No. 22.
C Attorneys Fees and Offset. If SoCalGas is required to bring an action to collect monies due or to
enforce any other right or remedy, Applicant agrees that SoCalGas is entitled to recover its
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. SoCalGas may withhold from any payments due Applicant any
amounts Applicant owes SoCalGas.
II. INDEMNITY
A. General. Applicant shall indemnify and hold SoCalGas harmless from and against all liability
(excluding only Pre -Existing Environmental Liability) connected with or resulting from injury to or
death of persons, including but not limited to employees of SoCalGas or Applicant, injury to property

(excluding environmental laws or regulations) (including attorneys' fees) arising out of the
performance of this Contract, except only for liability to the extent it is caused by the negligence
or willful misconduct by SoCalGas.
B. Environmental. Applicant shall indemnify and hold SoCalGas harmless from and against any and all
liability (including attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with the violation or
compliance with of any local, state, or federal environmental law or regulation as a result of pre-
existing conditions at the Project site, release or spill of any pre-existing hazardous materials or
waste, or out of the management and disposal of any pre-existing contaminated soils or groundwater,
hazardous or nonhazardous, removed from the ground as a result of SoCalGas's work performed ("Pre -
Existing Environmental Liability"), including, but not limited to, liability for the costs, expenses,
and legal liability for environmental investigations, monitoring, containment, abatement, removal,
repair, cleanup, restoration, remedial work, penalties, and fines arising from the violation of any
local, state, or federal law or regulation, attorneys' fees, disbursements, and other response costs.
As between Applicant and SoCalGas, Applicant agrees to accept full responsibility for and bear all
costs associated with Pre -Existing Environmental Liability. Applicant agrees that SoCalGas may stop
work, terminate it, redesign the gas facilities to a different location, or take other action
reasonably necessary to complete its work without incurring any Pre -Existing Environmental Liability.
C. Withhold Rights. In addition to any other rights to withhold, SoCalGas may withhold from payments
due Applicant such amounts as, in SoCalGas's reasonable opinion, are necessary to provide security
against all loss, damage, expense and liability covered by the foregoing indemnity provisions.
III. WARRANTY
SoCalGas requires that Applicant warrant all materials and workmanship performed by Applicant
(directly or through a contractor other than SoCalGas) shall be free of all defects and fit for their
intended purpose. A one-year warranty on any materials and a two-year warranty on any installation
work provided are required. If Applicant's work or materials fail to conform to the warranty,
Applicant shall reimburse SoCalGas for the total cost of repair and/or replacement or SoCalGas may
