Conflict Assessment. The Utility Coordinator will utilize the Utility Layout and prepare a Utility Conflict Matrix that summarizes the list of utility conflicts by owner, conflict type and station limits. This conflict assessment will be forwarded to the utility owners within the project limits, along with the Utility Layout, within a two (2) week turnaround from received design milestone submittal. The utility layout and conflict matrix will be sent with written notification to all utility owners and uploaded to ProjectWise.
Conflict Assessment. The ENGINEER shall determine which utilities will conflict with roadway construction, OWNER guidelines, or the TxDOT “Utility Accommodation Rules” (UAR) based on the 60% design plans and make the utility company aware of these conflicts. The ENGINEER will review for direct conflicts with proposed roadway improvements, constructability conflicts, and conflicts with current rules/guidelines. A detailed list will be prepared at each of the design milestones and will be communicated with the Utility Owners and design team.
