Regulations for Utility Franchises performing work in the Public Right-of-Way (RW)
When doing work in the Public Right-of-Way (RW), utility franchises must submit a proper City permit, a detailed description of proposed work with start-up and completion dates as well as a sketch or plat drawing. Included with the permit application will be a Traffic Control Plan (TCP) and if the work impacts pedestrians, you’ll need to provide a Sidewalk Closure Plan (SCP). The turnaround time for a review is approximately 24hrs and/or up to five (5) business days.
The City will notify applicants electronically so please include an email address along with a direct phone number. All utility franchises are required to submit a list of all sub-contractors used with their contact information. The City is required to verify with the state that sub-contractors are performing work with a current license.
