Utility Construction and Use of the Right-of-Way Policies and Procedures Manual Page 10 The City Infrastructure Development Standards are available for review through links provided at the City of Eugene Public Works Engineering Standard Specifications for Construction webpage at https://www.eugene-or.gov/444/Standard-Specifications-for-Construction The City encourages the use of innovative materials and construction methods. Specifications for non- standard construction methods and/or materials may be submitted to the Right of Way Technical Supervisor for review. 3.02 Joint Trenching/Notifications Franchised utilities, City-licensed facility operators, and municipal utilities planning to install a new facility, or perform a major facility upgrade within the public way, greater than 400 linear feet, shall provide notice to the City and all other utilities and license holders who are licensed or franchised to provide services within the project area. The purpose of this notification is to encourage co-location of facilities and minimize impacts on the public way by providing other utilities and license holders an opportunity to install facilities in a joint trench or to coordinate work along the same street segment. Notification timing and format will be determined by the initiating utility or licensee so long as the notification purpose and documentation requirements are met and are reasonable. When requested by the Utility Coordinator, utility providers shall provide documentation of said notice, including to whom and when notice was provided. While as much advanced notice as possible is desirable, reasonable notification is considered to be at least 30 days. Current Notification Contacts can be obtained by contacting Utility Permitting staff via email at PWMUtilityPermits@eugene-or.gov 3.03 Street Cuts and Restoration 3.03.1 Street Cuts and Restoration - Moratorium Streets and Frequency of Opening Street surfaces that have been placed within five (5) years are “moratorium streets” and shall not be cut unless the Public Works Maintenance Surface Technical Supervisor grants an exception. Requests for cut exceptions must be made be in writing to the Public Works Maintenance Surface Technical Supervisor and shall include a description of the proposed work to be performed and the details of why a less intrusive method of construction (boring for example) cannot be used. If the request is approved, the requirements below apply. Additional conditions for permanent restoration of moratorium streets may be imposed and included in the approved permit, at the sole discretion of the Public Works Maintenance Surface Technical Supervisor. An application to request an exception to the Street Cut Moratorium may be obtained along with the current list of streets on the five (5) year moratorium from Public Works Maintenance Utility Coordinator staff or found on the City of Eugene website Permits and Right-of-Way Use by clicking the following link: https://www.eugene-or.gov/1091/Permits-and-Right-of-Way-Use In order to reduce and mitigate the impacts of street opening on the life and function of street and alley surfaces, and to minimize the disruption in normal use, the frequency and timing of cutting pavement is limited. No street segment, irrespective of age or condition shall be cut more than once in any 12 month period for new facilities by those utilities who have received notice of prior street openings.
