The project also involved the following:
- Three miles of a circuit (Circuit 11) out of the new substation, including all communications lines, primary vaults, switchgears and transformers
- Evans Army Community Hospital re-fed out of a new substation through Circuit #14
- Street light poles
- All communications pathway conduit
