Page of CITIES AND COUNTIES UTILITY COORDINATING PROCEDURES Each Utility is obligated to relocate their facilities when necessary to make way for the proper governmental use of the streets. For this reason procedures were established to assist Cities, Counties and Utilities in coordinating public improvement projects. These procedures were prepared by the members of the APWA Joint Utilities Coordination Committee. Project Engineers responsible for the development of plans and specifications for City or County projects are responsible for coordinating with Utility Companies during the design and preconstruction phase of the work. The coordination of the “A, B and C” phases of a project is to be done according to the following procedures and time schedule. (EACH UTILITY SHALL HAVE THEIR MINIMUM OF CALANDER DAYS FROM RECEIPT OF “B” PLANS TO ENGINEER AND CONSTRUCT EACH RELOCATION PROJECT.) NOTE: All correspondence between the Project Engineer and the Utilities shall reference the phase that the attached plans or comments refer to (i.e. “A”, “B”, or “C”). NOTE: If Contract Engineering firms are to be used by City or County, all Contract Engineers shall indicate that they are under contract with a Public Agency on all correspondence and plans. “A” PLANSThese plans are defined as “preliminary or 35% base plans” showing project limits, centerline, right of ways and other pertinent information. (i.e. poles, above ground structure, etc.).
“B” Plans“B” plans shall contain the necessary information required to initiate utility relocation design. This is normally 65% Plans. As a minimum the plans shall include the following: 1) the proposed horizontal alignment depicting the centerline, edge of pavement and right of way, 2) the depth of the structural section, 3) any major vertical grade changes from existing grade, 4) the diameter, horizontal and vertical locations of proposed facilities to be placed, 5) the plans shall also include all utility facilities and locations as determined from field survey and obtained from utility records or “A” plan responses. During this phase the Government Project Engineer shall inform the Utilities in their correspondence, of project status, possible delays, advertising date, construction schedule and any other information necessary to establish tentative work schedules.
“C” PLANS“C” plans are defined as final approved 100% plans that are used for bid purposes. The Government Project Engineer shall forward “C” plans and outline in writing any changes made since releasing “B” plans, (i.e., engineering design, bid date, construction schedule or any foreseeable delays in the project due to public hearings etc). These changes are critical to each Utility’s construction schedule and budgeting of capital dollars for public improvement projects.

Plan “C” The Utility Companies will have their minimum time to schedule and construct if relocations can be accomplished prior to City/County contractor starting construction (120 days from the time the Electrical

If either Electrical Company or the communications/CATV utilities cannot meet this construction timetable, the City/County would be notified about our construction timetables in the Plan “B” phase. If utility relocations require coordination with City/County contractor, construction scheduling will be coordinated through the City/County or their contractor. If there are changes between Plans “C” and “B” which require re- engineering, a new engineering and construction timetable will be determined as outlined per Plan “B”.
