Common use of Make-Ready Work Clause in Contracts

Make-Ready Work. The term “make-ready work” refers to all work performed or to be performed to prepare SWBT’s poles, ducts, conduits, rights-of-way, and related facilities for the requested occupancy or attachment of Applicant’s facilities. Make-ready work does not include the actual installation of Applicant’s facilities. “Make-ready work” includes, but is not limited to, clearing obstructions (e.g., by “rodding” ducts to ensure clear passage), and rearranging, transferring, replacing, and removing existing facilities on a pole or in a conduit system where such work is required to accommodate Applicant’s facilities (as contrasted with work performed on SWBT’s behalf in furtherance of SWBT’s own business needs or convenience). “Make-ready work” may require “dig-ups” of existing facilities and may include the repair, enlargement or modification of SWBT’s facilities (including, but not limited to, poles, ducts, conduits, handholes, and manholes), consolidating services into fewer cables, or the performance of other work required to make a pole, anchor, duct, conduit, manhole, handhole, or right-of-way usable for the initial placement of Applicant’s facilities. As used in this Agreement, the term “make-ready work” also includes associated planning and engineering work required to confirm or determine the extent of make-ready work required and to plan make-ready projects.
