New Development Undergrounding Clause Samples

New Development Undergrounding. In cases of new construction or prop- erty development where utilities are to be placed underground, the developer or property owner shall give the grantee reasonable notice of such construction or development and of the particular date on which open trenching will be available for the grantee’s installation of conduit, pedestals and/or vaults, and laterals. The grantee shall also provide specifications as needed for trenching. Costs of trenching and easements required to bring service to the development shall be borne by the developer or property owner, except that, if the grantee fails to install its conduit, pedestals and/or vaults, and laterals within 5 working days of the date the trenches are available, as desig- nated in the notice given by the developer or property owner, then should the trenches be closed after the 5 day period, the cost of new trenching is to be borne by the grantee. Except for the notice of the particular date on which trenching will be available to the grantee, any notice pro- vided to the grantee by the City of a preliminary plat request shall satisfy the requirement of rea- sonable notice if sent to the local general manager of the grantee prior to approval of the prelimi- nary plat request.
