If at any time, or from time to time, a utility company submits a permit request to excavate for installation of its facilities, the city may request in writing that such utility company provide an opportunity to install city facilities within the excavation; provided, that:

A. Such joint use shall not unreasonably delay the work of the utility company’s excavation; and

B. Such joint use shall be arranged and accomplished on terms and conditions satisfactory to both parties.

C. To the extent reasonably possible, the utility company shall, at the direction of the city, cooperate with the city and provide other private utility companies with the opportunity to utilize joint or shared excavations in order to minimize disruption and damage to the right-of-way as well as to minimize traffic‑related impacts. In the event the city directs a utility company to utilize joint or shared excavations with another utility company, then such utility company shall install facilities supplied by the city in such joint or shared excavations at no cost to the city for such installation if such utility company agrees that there is a commensurate cost savings to them. (Ord. 5009 § 14, 1997.)
