11.50.130 Coordination – Shared use of excavations.
If at any time, a utility submits a construction permit application to excavate for installation of its facilities, the City may request in writing that such utility provide an opportunity to install City facilities within the excavation, provided that:
A. Such joint use may not unreasonably delay the work of the utility’s excavation;
B. Such joint use can be arranged and accomplished on terms and conditions satisfactory to both parties; and
C. To the extent reasonably possible, at the direction of the City, the utility will cooperate with the City and provide other utilities with the opportunity to use joint or shared excavations to minimize disruption and damage to the right of way and minimize traffic-related impacts. If the City directs a utility to use a joint or shared excavations, then the utility must install facilities in these excavations at no cost to the City if the utility agrees that there is a commensurate cost savings to it.
