A. All permittees will make every effort to coordinate their construction schedules with those of the City and other users of the rights-of-way. The City Engineer will resolve conflicts and determine priorities for any permitted work in the right-of-way. City projects take precedence.
B. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the City at least 60 days prior to the start of work in a right-of-way that includes a cut or opening in the street of one block or 400 linear feet, whichever is less, the person intending to perform the work shall provide notice to the City and all other utilities identified by the City as utilities that are franchised or permitted to place facilities within the project area. The notice shall comply with the following:
1. The notice must be provided in a manner which documents receipt of notice by utilities.
2. The notice shall state the anticipated location, project schedule, and general description of the proposed work.
3. No permits for work shall be issued until notice has been given.
C. All utilities performing work in the rights-of-way subject to the notice requirement set forth in subsection (B) of this section will make every effort to cooperate with other utilities with permits to do work in the same location at or near the same time to coordinate construction and co-locate facilities.
D. Nothing in this section shall require a utility to reveal proprietary information. A utility shall signify any proprietary information as such and the City will protect such information from disclosure to the extent allowed by law.
E. The notification requirement set forth in subsection (B) of this section shall not be required for the installation of facilities in new developments that are being processed through the private development review process. [Ord. NS-2282, 2016]
