A. The City shall adopt such regulations for the location, size, depth, number of facilities to be accommodated, installation and repair methods and surcharges for new or recently rehabilitated public streets that may require excavations as it may deem necessary for public welfare. The regulations are intended to protect the public right- of-way and equitably allocate available space. In the event a utility cannot locate as directed by the City without violation of PUC installation guidelines, then alternate alignments shall be selected.
B. Whenever an excavation is made by tunneling under the surface of the street, the City shall adopt such regulations and require such inspections, as it may deem necessary to ensure full compliance with the other sections of this chapter.
C. Whenever conduits are placed under City streets or in public rights-of-ways, the City will require the owner/user to ensure the conduits can be located, with accuracy, by a reliable method. This shall mean a horizontal location within 4 inches and depth within 18 inches.
D. Plans shall be prepared and submitted that show the location, depth and type of proposed facilities, as well as other existing underground utilities. Such plans shall be to scale and no less than 1"=60' and shall show the right-of-way line, curb lines and all known underground utilities, conduits or buried wires.
E. City direction to relocate or locate in other positions to clear existing or future facilities will be considered mandatory and not merely recommendations. Failure to follow approved plans will result in the facility being relocated as directed at the cost of the Owner.
