When Utility Adjustment is Required. A Utility Adjustment may be necessary to accommodate the Project for either or both of the following reasons: (a) a physical conflict between the Project and the Utility, and/or (b) an incompatibility between the Project and the Utility based on the requirements in Section 6.2.1 (Standards), even though there may be no physical conflict. The physical limits of all Utility Adjustments shall extend as necessary to functionally replace the existing Utility, whether inside or outside of the Project ROW. Section 6.2.4.2 Utilities may remain in their existing locations within the Project ROW if (a) the requirements of Section 6.2.1 (Standards) are met, and (b) the existing location will not adversely affect the construction, operation, safety, maintenance and/or use of the Project and Utility. The Utility Owner must agree to its facilities remaining in its existing location. Existing Utilities, located on an Existing Utility Property Interest and cross the mainlane centerline at less than 90 degrees, may remain in the existing alignment, as long as the Utility facility crosses at no less than a 30 degree angle to the mainlane centerline and does not cross diagonally through connecting intersections. The Existing Utilities may remain or be relocated in place in these areas only if all conditions of the Utility Accommodation Rules (UAR) are met, other than the 90 degree reference in the UAR. The affected Utility Owners must agree and approve all proposed Utility Adjustment plans.

When Utility Adjustment is Required. A Utility Adjustment may be necessary to accommodate the Project for either or both of the following reasons: (a) a physical conflict between the Project and the Utility, and/or (b) an incompatibility between the Project and the Utility based on the requirements in Section 6.2.1 (Standards), even though there may be no physical conflict. The physical limits of all Utility Adjustments shall extend as necessary to functionally replace the existing Utility, whether inside or outside of the Project ROW. Section 6.2.4.2 (Acquisition of Replacement Utility Property Interests) contains provisions that address the acquisition of easements for Utilities to be installed outside of the Project ROW. Utilities may remain in their existing locations within the Project ROW if (a) the requirements of Section Notwithstanding the foregoing, existing Utilities that are not in physical conflict with the Project but that cross the mainlane centerline at less than 90 degrees may remain in the existing alignment. Such Utilities may remain, be relocated in place, or be protected in place in these areas; provided, however, that all requirements in Section 6.2.1 (Standards) must be met, including all conditions of the Utility Accommodation Rules (UAR) other than the 90-degree reference; and provided further that Design-Build Contractor shall be responsible for Protection in Place of certain existing Utilities identified in Table 6-1 below if such utilities are left in their current alignment. Furthermore, no additional manholes will be allowed under pavement other than those that currently exist under frontage road pavement. All other procedures and requirements for Utility Adjustments established in this Section 6 and in Section 6.8 of the Agreement, including such processes as coordination with TxDOT and Utility Owners and Utility Owner agreement to Protection in Place work, remain applicable with respect to such Utilities. Table 6-1 summarizes existing utilities for which the DB Contractor is responsible for Protection in Place if left in their current alignment within the limits of paving and embankment. Protection measures shall protect the existing Utility from the proposed construction as well as potential damage caused to the roadway if the Utility’s structural integrity is lost.
