SURCHARGE COSTING
In order for you to estimate the amount required for a
9-1-1 surcharge, it is suggested that
the following data be compiled.
1) Access Lines
Obtain
from your serving telephone company(ies) the number of access lines in your service
area. This needs to be refined by subtracting the number of exempt
lilies, and the number- of access lilies in "centrex" systems.
This will provide you with a more accurate number of access lines.
The cost of providing 9-1-1 to centrex customers may vary - contact
your local telephone company for details.
Number
of access lines (from telephone company(ies)
- Exempt lines
- Centrex lines (if applicable)
= Total Number of Access Lines
2) Installation and Monthly Costs
To
figure the installation cost, add Network Costs (Part I) +
CPE Costs (Part 11) + Ancillary Costs (Part III), and
divide by the total number of access lines. Then divide by the number of
Amortization Months (the number of months it will take to recover your
installation costs).
Network Costs + CPE Costs + Ancillary Costs ¸ Amortization Months = Installation
Surcharge
Number of Access Lines
To
figure the monthly surcharge, add Network Costs (Part 1) + CPE Costs (Part
II) +
Ancillary Costs (Part III), and divide by the total number of access
lines.
Network Costs + CPE Costs + Ancillary Costs = Monthly Surcharge
Number of Access Lines
3) Surcharge
To arrive at the total base surcharge Figure, add the
installation and monthly surcharges.
An additional three percent of the surcharge is the amount the telephone
company(ies) will apply
as an administrative fee. To arrive at this figure multiply three (3%)
percent times your base surcharge.
Then at your discretion you might consider applying an inflation buffer amount.
These final figures
will provide your total for installation and maintenance costs. The
example below shows the formula
to be used.

After installation costs are recouped, rate would be figured:
