The City provided upper elevations of the bridge and its appurtenances within a 20 foot radius of the High Lines. Based on this information the District developed a design for the High Lines that meets or exceeds clearances over bridges as outlined in the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC). Attached and incorporated Exhibit A represents the final configuration, subject to field condition, of the poles and high voltage lines in the vicinity of the bridge after completion of the Project and all High Line Work. After all High Line Work is completed, the uppermost point of the pole structures located immediately north and immediately south of the bridge will be at an elevation (NAVD88) of approximately 113 feet. For the purposes of this Agreement, these two poles are referred to as the"Bridge Poles." 7
