Franchise Utility Coordination. This task includes the effort to proactively coordinate with Franchise utilities in order to avoid project delays and avoid/resolve conflicts 1) between existing Franchise utilities and proposed NUD water facilities, and 2) between existing NUD facilities and other proposed Project improvements, i.e. existing NUD side sewers vs. proposed retaining walls, etc. After review of NUD’s previous PRV Consolidation Plans, it appears that potholes were not completed. As a part of KPG’s standard design practices, we prefer to pothole existing utilities where conflicts are possible as a part of the design process. Efforts under this task include:
Franchise Utility Coordination. FNI will provide franchise utility coordination support for the CITY, as follows: • FNI will develop a Franchise Utility Contact List of companies within and adjacent to the project. • FNI will prepare and conduct up to three (3) franchise utility coordination meetings with utility owners. • FNI will develop the design of CITY facilities to avoid or minimize conflicts with existing utilities, and where known and possible consider potential future utilities in designs. Where conflicts cannot be avoided, coordination of utility conflicts will be completed by FNI with assistance from the CITY. • In the case of a private utility conflict, the FNI will provide a PDF set of plans with the utility conflicts highlighted and a utility conflicts table of those conflicts. If necessary, FNI will coordinate directly with the private utility provider if that provider needs to undertake design to adjust their utility’s location. • FNI shall create a Schematic Franchise Utility Conflict Exhibit using the proposed improvements and the existing utility file created by the Subsurface Utility Engineering task. • FNI will create a Schematic Franchise Utility Conflict Matrix to supplement the Schematic Franchise Utility Conflict Exhibit. • As available, the CITY will attend the coordination meetings and assist in the coordination process.
