1 advised that the preference of the PUD is to not de-energize the lines if possible, 2 but in particular the PUD has a strong preference to not remove the lines from 3 service if at all possible. The Contractor shall coordinate all requests regarding 4 these lines directly with Snohomish County PUD. Snohomish County PUD has 5 sole approval authority regarding any and all requests associated with these lines. 6 7 The contractor shall adhere, in addition to other directions in the Standard 8 Specifications or Plans, to the following criteria and specifications when planning 9 construction activities that may impact these lines or requesting these lines be de- 10 energized or removed temporarily. 11 12 1. It is critical to the project that the Contractor be fully aware that the 13 overhead high voltage lines can only be either removed or de-energized 14 between June 1st and August 315`, 2018. The contractor must choose 15 between the removal and de-energizing options in their request to PUD. A 16 one-time removal will be accommodated during the period stated. The 17 maximum time for removal or de-energizing these lines is two weeks. It is 18 believed by the Consultant that it will be necessary to either remove or de- 19 energize these lines during the installation of the steel truss over the BNSF 20 tracks. 21 2. Lines may be de-energized, but not removed, if deemed operationally 22 permitted by PUD for specific shorter periods upon request. 23 3. All work for removal or de-energizing of lines shall be performed by PUD 24 under agreements with the Contractor. 25 4. The Contractor shall submit their requested outage window or schedule for 26 de-energizing or removal to the PUD 2.5 months in advance, at a minimum, 27 to the PUD contact listed below. PUD will review and either approve and 28 schedule the contractor's requested outage window, or provide an alternate 29 window if ongoing or planned PUD work known at the time of the submittal 30 will not allow for the Contractor's requested window, based on the 31 contractor's submittal complying with the remaining specifications herein. 32 5. The PUD will have full authority to interrupt the two week period or any de- 33 energizing period if deemed necessary by PUD due to an emergency. 34 Impacts to construction schedule could occur in such an event. Additional 35 working days will be added to the contract if such an event occurs. 36 6. For a removal and re-installment of power lines to occur the contractor shall 37 clear and maintain clear an area for PUD to work. PUD will inform the 38 Contractor of the specific requirements at the time of the request for the 39 outage. The clearing of a PUD work area may impact the construction 40 schedule. 41 7. All lines will be immediately re-energized by PUD following re-installment of 42 removed lines with no intent to de-energize at a later date. 43 8. All payment for work associated with applying for and obtaining the 44 necessary approvals and for implementing the temporary de-energizing or 45 removal of the PUD lines shall be considered incidental to the other costs of 46 the project. No separate Payment will be made for this item*** 47 48 The Contractor shall attend a mandatory utility preconstruction meeting with the 49 Engineer, all affected Subcontractors, and all utility owners and their Contractors prior to 50 beginning onsite work. 51 CITY OF EVERETT GRAND AVENUE PARK BRIDGE May 2,2017 WO#3588 S62 Page 4 Provided to Builders Exchange of WA, Inc.
