Franchise Utility Coordination a. Provide one set of drawings to each franchise utility encountered for their review. Request each franchise to mark up the drawings to show the size, type, and location of their utilities.
b. Coordinate with franchise utilities if any relocations are required. Notify City if any relocations will be required.
Franchise Utility Coordination. The Consultant shall develop exhibits and tables identifying potential conflicts, to support the City’s efforts in coordinating with the franchise utility agencies. Coordination efforts are to support the franchise utility agencies in the development and execution of a plan for relocation. No more than six (6) private utilities are expected in the corridor. Assumptions: ▪ City shall prepare and deliver the Project Introduction Letters; Notification of Conflict Letters and the Time Requirement Letters. ▪ Review of franchise utility relocation plans is not included in this scope of work. ▪ Exhibits and tables will be prepared for the project footprint described in this scope of work. ▪ City shall lead communication with USPS for relocations of impacted mail facilities.
Franchise Utility Coordination. The ENGINEER shall submit individual PDF files for each plan sheet of the approved preliminary plan set to all utility companies which have facilities within the limits of the project. Engineer shall assist the City to coordinate with the Franchise Utility companies to review existing utility locations and potential conflicts and coordinate and oversee proper relocation of their facilities, as needed.
Franchise Utility Coordination. This task includes the effort to proactively coordinate with Franchise utilities in order to avoid project delays and avoid/resolve conflicts 1) between existing Franchise utilities and proposed NUD water facilities, and 2) between existing NUD facilities and other proposed Project improvements, i.e. existing NUD side sewers vs. proposed retaining walls, etc. After review of NUD’s previous PRV Consolidation Plans, it appears that potholes were not completed. As a part of KPG’s standard design practices, we prefer to pothole existing utilities where conflicts are possible as a part of the design process. Efforts under this task include:
Franchise Utility Coordination. Wallis will review previous coordination efforts in regard to relocating the existing private utilities in conflict with the proposed improvements and re-initiate coordination and contact with the private utilities. An allotment of 12 hours is assumed to complete the relocation coordination.
Franchise Utility Coordination. Along Evergreen Way, Xxxxx Avenue, Xxxx Avenue, and XxXxxx Avenue there will be potential conflicts with water and sewer service lines as well as power, gas, and communication lines. In this task, Otak will coordinate with and explore opportunities to design around existing utilities, but we do not recommend compromising the quality and safety of the City’s improvements simply to avoid conflicts. It is possible that various relocation efforts will be necessary. If this is the case, any private utility relocation design would be completed by the utility companies. Otak’s utility coordination in this task are as follows:
1. Obtain/Review Utility As-Built Records Otak will contact applicable franchise utility companies (power, gas, and telecommunications) to request record drawings for the project to verify locations of existing facilities and conflicts.
2. Coordinate with Xxxxxxx Otak will coordinate with City of Xxxxxxx for the water and sewer utilities owned and operated by the City. Up to 2 meetings will be held with the City water and sewer group.
3. Coordination with Utility Companies Otak will maintain regular email contact with the utility companies to make them aware of the project and the relocation efforts that may be required. It has been Otak’s experience that utility companies are much more likely to complete their relocations in a timely manner if they feel that they have been included in the process from the beginning. Communication will begin with as- built requests and Otak will send the 30%, 60% and 90% design drawings. It is anticipated that up to six (6) utility coordination meetings will occur with utility companies to review 60% design, associated cost and schedule implications, and design (by others) of relocation (if needed) of the affected utilities.
Franchise Utility Coordination. The budgeted fee for this Task is based upon approximately 80 hours for franchise utility coordination. We will not proceed with performance of services beyond the hours budgeted, without written authorization by the Town. This Task shall be used on an as-needed basis, at the discretion of the Town. Task may include:
Franchise Utility Coordination. FNI will provide franchise utility coordination support for the CITY, as follows: • FNI will develop a Franchise Utility Contact List of companies within and adjacent to the project. • FNI will prepare and conduct up to three (3) franchise utility coordination meetings with utility owners. • FNI will develop the design of CITY facilities to avoid or minimize conflicts with existing utilities, and where known and possible consider potential future utilities in designs. Where conflicts cannot be avoided, coordination of utility conflicts will be completed by FNI with assistance from the CITY. • In the case of a private utility conflict, the FNI will provide a PDF set of plans with the utility conflicts highlighted and a utility conflicts table of those conflicts. If necessary, FNI will coordinate directly with the private utility provider if that provider needs to undertake design to adjust their utility’s location. • FNI shall create a Schematic Franchise Utility Conflict Exhibit using the proposed improvements and the existing utility file created by the Subsurface Utility Engineering task. • FNI will create a Schematic Franchise Utility Conflict Matrix to supplement the Schematic Franchise Utility Conflict Exhibit. • As available, the CITY will attend the coordination meetings and assist in the coordination process.

Franchise Utility Coordination. The Consultant shall coordinate the efforts of the franchise utility agencies in developing and executing a plan for relocating utilities to resolve conflicts with the project design. As part of that effort, Consultant shall complete the following: ▪ Preparation and delivery of Project Notification Letters and Notification of Conflict Letters ▪ Review of Utility Relocation Plans ▪ Preparation of Relocation Time Requirement Letters It is assumed for that no more than seven (7) private utilities are present in the corridor. If utilities are nonresponsive or uncooperative, Consultant shall notify City, and City will communicate with the utility to affect a solution.
