SECTION 4 - PRIVATE ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION PROCESS 4.00 INTRODUCTION The City permits public improvements to be privately -engineered and constructed via the "Privately Engineered Public Improvement (PEPI)" permit process. Such improvements are typically development -driven, whereas public improvements designed by the City are usually community -driven. As discussed previously in this manual, design standards for public improvements are to be implemented consistently between the private and public sector; however, there are certain procedures specific to the private process (the PEPI permit), which are outlined in this section. Also refer to Appendix L for standard forms and other resources specific to the PEPI permit process. 4.01 PRE -APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS Prior to submitting PEPI plans for review and approval, applicants are encouraged to meet with City staff and consult other utility providers to determine potential conflicts in advance of preparing the detailed design drawings. A. Staff Consultation Engineering staff will meet up to 2 hours with applicants and project engineers to discuss design and project issues. If staff consultation time exceeds 2 hours, an "Engineering and Construction Agreement" (provided in Appendix L) will be required in advance of construction plan submittals to recover staff expenses. See Section 4.10 Financial Responsibilities. B. Facility Coordination Proposed facilities must be consistent with the City's master plans and avoid conflicting with existing utility locations. The City will review PEPI plans for conflicts with City -owned street, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure, and defers to utility companies and the applicant to resolve conflicts with electric, water, telephone, gas, and television utility infrastructure and private facilities. In some cases, subject to approval, the applicant may need to relocate utilities. The cost of relocating utilities shall be borne by the applicant. As -construct information for City -owned infrastructure is available at the Permit and Information Center, 99 West 10th Avenue; wastewater and stormwater hydrologic and hydraulic study information may be available at the City Engineering office, 99 East Broadway, Suite 400; research and copy fees may apply.
