(A) In its application, the applicant shall identify any make-ready work proposed to be performed by the City. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of a completed application, the City shall provide a preliminary good faith estimate of the cost of such make-ready work to be paid by the applicant to the City. The applicant shall pay to the City the amount of the estimated cost. Make-ready work to be performed by the City shall be completed within ninety (90) days after written acceptance of the good faith estimate by the applicant. Upon the City's completion of the make-ready work, the applicant shall pay the City, or the City shall refund to the applicant, as the case may be, the difference between the cost estimate paid and the actual cost. Total fees shall not exceed actual costs of the make-ready work. Alternatively, the City and the applicant may agree that the applicant or a party other than the City may perform the make-ready work, subject to the City's approval before and after the work.
(B) The City may require replacement of the utility pole if it determines that the collocation would make the utility pole structurally unsound. The person owning the utility pole shall not require more make-ready work than required to meet applicable codes and industry standards. (Ord. No. 1067, 6/1/21)
