Prior to commencement of any initial construction of facilities in the rights-of-way a construction permittee, upon the reasonable request of the Public Works Superintendent, shall provide technical information about the proposed route of construction. The technical information required may consist of completion of the following tasks:
(A) Secure all available "as-built" plans, plats, and other location data indicating the existence and approximate location of all facilities along the proposed construction route.
(B) Visibly survey and record the location and dimensions of any facilities along the proposed construction route, including, but not limited to, manholes, valve boxes, utility boxes, posts, and visible street cut repairs.
(C) Determine and record the presence of and the approximate horizontal and vertical location of all underground facilities the applicant or person on whose behalf the permit was applied for owns or controls in the rights-of-way along the proposed system route. Upon the reasonable request of the Public Works Superintendent, a permittee shall also record and identify the general location of all other facilities in the rights-of-way along the proposed system route. For the purposes of this section, general location shall mean the alignment of other facilities in the rights-of-way, but shall not necessarily mean the depth of other facilities in the rights-of-way.
(D) If a provider records the information requested above in an electronic format, the provider shall provide the village with an electronic copy of the data obtained from completion of the tasks described in this section. Incorporation of the data required herein by electronic means shall include only data for new facilities that can be readily incorporated into the village's database.
(E) Where the proposed location of facilities and the location of existing underground facilities appear to conflict with the plans as drafted, construction permittee has the option of either utilizing non-destructive digging methods, such as vacuum excavation, at the critical points identified to determine as precisely as possible, the horizontal, vertical and spatial position, composition, size and other specifications of the conflicting underground facilities, or re-designing the construction plans to eliminate the apparent conflict. A construction permittee shall not excavate more than a three foot by three foot square hole in the rights-of-way to complete this task.
(F) Based on all of the data collected upon completion of the tasks described in this section, adjust the proposed system design to avoid the need to relocate other underground facilities.
(G) All confidential/proprietary information submitted herein shall be so labeled.
