The use of City or County streets, sidewalks and other public easements by the Owner/Developer
and/or the Contractor shall be subject to and in accordance with City or County ordinances,
policies, standards and procedures governing said use of streets, sidewalks and public
easements. The Owner/Developer's or the Contractor's use of City or County streets,
sidewalks and other public easements is nonexclusive and does not establish priority
for their use over other franchise holders, permit holders or the City or the County.
All work conducted in street rights-of -way or public easements must be covered by
a permit issued by the City, County or other appropriate authority. With the exception
of any emergency repairs necessary to restore service or to protect the public, all
work shall be permitted prior to the start of construction.
Permits will not be issued unless the Owner/Developer or the Contractor can provide
a One-call Identification Number. This is accomplished by calling the "One-Call Center".
This call will initiate action by the utility owners to respond with the location
of utilities and/or appropriate advice.
In accordance with Section 5 of the Utility Criteria Manual, "Cuts in Public Rights-of-Way",
the Owner/Developer or the Contractor shall call the Construction Inspection Division
of the Department of Public Works to initiate a request for a permit to make a cut
in any public right-of-way or easement for areas within the City of Austin. When outside
the City of Austin, a call shall be required to the County Engineer Office of the
county in which the Work is to done or TxDOT, if appropriate, in order to request
a permit. All requests shall be made during normal hours during the workweek except
for Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays.
