AGENDA

4

Strategies and Practices for effective communication of planned highway projects that may require utility relocation:

• Delivery of a 5 year program (Multi-Year Improvement Program)

• Delivery of an annual program

• Establishment of a coordination council

ILLINOIS COMPILED STATUTE 605 ILCS 5/9-113GENERAL INFORMATION

5


• Utilities are required to obtain written consent (permit) from the appropriatehighway authority (County) to place facilities in public R.O.W.

• With the establishment of a utility council, the county highway authority canenforce a 90 day relocation policy.

Utility Owner’s Responsibilities:

• Any utility located along the highway shall, upon written notice by the countyhighway authority be removed, relocated, or modified by the owner at no expenseto the county highway authority when and as deemed necessary for highway orhighway safety purposes. The notice shall be given after completion of engineeringplans.

6


Utility Owner’s Responsibilities continued:

• If, within 90 days after receipt of such written notice, arrangements are not madesatisfactory to the County Highway Authority for such removal, relocation, ormodification, the County Highway Authority may remove, relocate, or modify andbill the owner.

• Owner may request the county engineer for a waiver of the 90 day deadline. Thecounty engineer shall make a decision concerning waiver within 10 days and maywaive the 90 day deadline if he or she makes a written finding as to the reasons forwaiving the deadline.

• If no waiver of deadline has been requested or issued by the county engineer, andno satisfactory arrangement has been made, the County Highway Authority mayfile a complaint in the Circuit Court for an emergency order.

7

TYPICAL DESIGN UTILITY COORDINATION PROCESS

Initiate Coordination at start of design process

Contact JULIE to receive the contact information for utility owners that may have facilities within the project limits

Send out location map and preliminary plans requesting marked-up plans and atlas pages showing the existing utility information with a deadline of 4 weeks

If possible, the Project Coordinator may work to minimize conflicts by adjusting proposed storm sewers, structures, etc., without compromising the design or adding significant cost or delay to the project

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

8

TYPICAL DESIGN UTILITY COORDINATION PROCESS

If warranted, set-up a project specific Utility Coordination Meeting (to discuss project schedule, utility conflicts, utility relocation schedule, etc.)

Otherwise, conduct required coordination with individual utility owners

Final plans sent out to utility owners (90 day relocation requirement)

Utility owners initiate permits and continue to coordinate with both Design and Construction

IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

PROJECT DELIVERY ARRANGEMENTS

• MYP includes many types of project delivery arrangements: • County led design and/or construction• Partner agency led design and/or construction• Improvements partially or entirely not on County routes• Invest in Cook

• What projects are we presenting today and why? • Projects where the County is/may be leading construction – because County is

causing the need for relocations/ adjustments• Projects where County is leading design – because utility coordination will be

initiated by County
