A. The city engineer shall, on or prior to October 1 of each year, publish in a newspaper of general circulation within the city, and mail to all persons who have made written request to the city engineer therefor, a schedule identifying the location and anticipated start date and completion date of all street construction or reconstruction and overlays constituting major work, anticipated to be performed within the city during the three (3) year period beginning on the next succeeding January 1. Such schedule shall be updated quarterly and shall be available for inspection at the office of the city engineer.
B. Each user and prospective user shall provide to the city engineer, on or before November 1 of each calendar year, on a form approved by the city engineer, a construction schedule which identifies, in reasonable detail, the location, and anticipated start date and completion date, of all anticipated major work to be conducted within the public way during the three (3) year period beginning on the next succeeding January 1. Failure of a user to identify work in the construction schedule shall not of itself preclude the issuance of a permit for such work; provided, however, that the city engineer may deny the permit until the proposed work can be considered by the city engineer in connection with the imposition of excavation restrictions and the publication of notice thereof pursuant to subsection 14.32.085C of this chapter.
C. Any requests to maintain the confidentiality of information submitted pursuant to subsection B of this section shall be considered by the city in accordance with the provisions of the Utah governmental immunity act, title 63, chapter 30, Utah Code Annotated, or any successor provisions. It shall be the general policy of the city engineer to disclose information in order to facilitate coordination among users and avoid unnecessary or prolonged excavation of city streets.
D. The city engineer shall use the information provided pursuant to subsection B of this section to coordinate construction activities in the public way, to identify conflicts and opportunities for coordination, and to determine the nature and scope of any excavation restrictions to be imposed for affected portions of the public way. The city engineer may, in his discretion, and for the purpose of realizing the objectives set forth in section 14.32.010 of this chapter: 1) schedule work in the public way in the order in which applications are filed, and without regard to other work in the public way; 2) either delay or accelerate the commencement date of certain work so that such work is performed simultaneously; or 3) either delay or accelerate the commencement date of certain work so that such work is performed in sequence, or is separated by a reasonable period of time.
E. Each applicant shall use the information available pursuant to subsections A and B of this section, or otherwise, to coordinate, in good faith, its proposed work in the public way with work proposed by the city or other users. (Ord. 70-99 § 1, 1999)
