ARTICLE 6. PERMIT APPLICATION PROCEDURES Section 6.01. The Licensee will not install any Attachments on any Pole without first applying for and obtaining a Permit from the City's Public Services Department- Electric Utility Division by completing the Application for Permit and Pole Contacts ( "Application ") in the form attached as Appendix C. The Licensee will not occupy or attach the Licensee's Facilities to any City Facilities other than the Poles unless the Licensee executes a separate Permit with the City. Section 6.02. Consistent with applicable law, the overlashing of an existing Attachment of the Licensee by any person other than the Licensee is considered a separate Attachment requiring a separate agreement with the City and a separate Permit. Without such a Permit, third party overlashing constitutes an unauthorized Attachment. The Licensee will not permit any third party overlashing of the Licensee's Facilities without obtaining written verification from the City that the overlashing has been authorized by the City. Section 6.03. Consistent with applicable law, the overlashing by the Licensee of its own facilities is not considered a separate Attachment and is not subject to a separate Permit, but the Licensee will provide the City with prior written notification of any overlashing the Licensee intends to perform. The Licensee will have a registered professional engineer certify that the overlashing can be accomplished in compliance with the Technical Specifications and the Applicable Standards. Section 6.04. As part of the Permit application process, the City may require the Licensee to have a registered professional engineer conduct a Pre - Permit Survey and certify that the Licensee's proposed Attachments can be installed on the Poles in compliance with the Technical Specifications and the Applicable Standards. The selection of the engineer is subject to approval by the City. The engineer's experience must include similar work on electric utility systems. Section 6.05. Upon receipt of a properly completed Application, including any required Pre - Permit Survey, the City will review the Application within a reasonable period of time, and discuss any issues with the Licensee, including engineering or Make -Ready Work requirements associated with the Application. The City's acceptance of application documents or issuance of a Permit will not relieve the engineer or the Licensee of full responsibility for the safe and proper installation of the Attachments covered by the Permit. Section 6.06. If the City determines that Make -Ready Work is required to accommodate any Attachment of the Licensee, the City, at its option, may perform Make -Ready Work on any or all Poles associated with an Application under Article 7. City will notify Licensee in writing five (5) business days from receipt of Application whether City will perform the Make -Ready Work. If City opts not to perform Make -Ready Work, Licensee or its contractor will perform such Make -Ready Work. Section 6.07. If the City receives Permit applications for the same Pole from the Licensee and one or more Other Licensees within 30 days of one another, and accommodating the requests may require replacement or modification of the Pole or rearrangement of existing Attachments, the City will follow the procedures of Article 9 in reviewing the applications. 9 CADocuments and Settings \tamara.slade \Local Settings \Temporary Internet Files \Content.Oudook \F3JWG5DH \San Marcos PAA FINAL CLEAN 10 17 201 I .docx
