ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-16-01 of the City Engineer City of Eugene, Oregon ADOPTING THE AMENDED PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT DESIGN STANDARDS MANUAL AND REPEALING ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NOS. 58-11-11 AND 58-12-11. The City Engineer of the City of Eugene finds that: A. Provisions in Chapters 6, 7 and 9 of the Eugene Code, 1971, impose requirements and restrictions with respect to the design, location, and construction of public improvements. Section 7.085 of the Code explicitly directs me, as City Engineer, to prepare design standards and standard specifications for construction of public improvements. B. Consistent with the above authority, on December 5, 2011, Administrative Order No. 58-11-11 was issued adopting the Public Improvement Design Standards Manual (dated November 10, 2011) ("Manual"). On August 21, 2012, Administrative Order No. 58-12-11 was issued adopting amendments to the November 10, 2011 Manual. Changes in provisions of the Eugene Code, 1971, federal and state law, rules and regulations, and other adopted City policies have occurred since that time, and an updated Manual (dated Pebruary, 2016) has been prepared, a copy of which is attached to this Order and incorporated herein by reference, that takes those changes into consideration. In addition, the design standards for street lighting systems adopted by Administrative Order No. 58-07-09-F have been incorporated into the Manual and Administrative Order No. 58-07-09-F will be repealed after issuance of this Order. C. Development of this updated Manual is intended to ensure that City staff, contractors, and the public are aware of the requirements and standards imposed with respect to the design and construction of public improvements within the City, and that those requirements and standards are uniformly applied. D. In addition to the standards contained within the Manual, the Appendices contain additional policies or standards applicable to the design, location and construction of public improvements. Some of those Appendices consist of separately adopted administrative rules or regulations of other agencies. Now, Therefore, THE CITY ENGINEER OF THE CITY OF EUGENE ORDERS AND DIRECTS THAT: 1. Administrative Order Nos. 58-11-11 and 58-12-11, and the Public Improvement Design Standards Manual adopted by those Orders, are repealed as of the effective date of this Order.
