§ 12.2.22. Electrical Supply
A.
A network provider shall be responsible for obtaining any required electrical power service to the network node. The City will not be liable to the network provider for any stoppages or shortages of electrical power furnished to the network node, including without limitation, stoppages or shortages caused by any act, omission, or requirement of the City or the act or omission of any other tenant or user of the structure. The network provider will not be entitled to any abatement of any fee for any such stoppage or shortage of electrical power.
B.
The network provider shall be responsible, at the network provider's expense, for correcting any discovered pre-existing non-conforming conditions related to the provision of power for a network node.
C.
If the network node is to be installed on a different pole than the electric service is installed, it is the network provider's responsibility to install the necessary underground conduit and cabling to provide power to the network node.
D.
Network provider shall install a device or devices to disconnect network provider's network node, such as a fused linkage, cut-off switch or similar mechanism that is capable of disconnecting and de-energize network provider's network nodes so that the City personnel performing maintenance may quickly and safely shut down the network node so that they are not exposed to dangerous electrical current or radiofrequency radiation or electromagnetic fields generated by the network node. The disconnect device must be clearly identified and easily accessed, and the operation of the cut-off switch must be obvious and intuitive. The City will instruct its maintenance personnel to use the disconnect device to de-activate the network node while performing work in proximity to the network node.
E.
Network provider electric meter may not be installed on a traffic pole, unless the director determines that placement on the traffic pole is necessary to avoid the use of right-of-way surface for the meter placement and the meter's placement is consistent with the applicable design standards.
