Utility Engineering Clause Samples
The Utility Engineering clause defines the responsibilities and procedures related to the design, coordination, and management of utility systems within a project. It typically outlines which party is responsible for identifying existing utilities, planning for necessary relocations or modifications, and ensuring that utility work complies with relevant regulations and standards. For example, the clause may require the contractor to coordinate with utility providers to avoid service disruptions or to submit detailed utility plans for approval. Its core practical function is to prevent delays, conflicts, and safety issues by clearly assigning utility-related tasks and ensuring all parties are aware of their obligations regarding utility infrastructure.
Utility Engineering. Utility Engineering includes the identification of utility conflicts, coordination, compliance with the UAR, and resolution of utility conflicts. The Engineer shall coordinate all activities with the State, or the State’s designee, to facilitate the orderly progress and timely completion of the State’s design phase.

Utility Engineering. 1. The Engineer shall develop PS&E and special details including structural details to accommodate or adjust utilities, including but not limited to fiber optic, communications, water, and wastewater, if applicable. The Engineer shall develop PS&E and special details for betterment utilities (Forced betterments and Elective betterments) as well as the betterment cost estimate (See the State’s ROW Utility Manual chapter 7). Prior to developing any special utility detail or PS&E set, the Engineer shall notify the State in writing regarding each utility conflict that may require an accommodation.
a. The Engineer shall prepare utility design plans to show the existing and proposed utility facilities in both plan and profile.
b. The Engineer shall overlay the utility design plan onto the highway design plan to show existing and proposed highway features, including highway ROW lines, proposed ROW lines and all control of access lines.
c. The Engineer shall prepare the utility design plans to depict sufficient information that will enable the State to verify compliance with UAR DocuSign Envelope ID: 272D98F7-7E9E-42C2-A06F-E7D2542DAFD3 Contract No. 14-7SDP5001 including but not limited to depth of cover, casing requirements, vent locations, manhole sizes, for each utility design.
2. As directed by the State, the Engineer shall coordinate with each utility to develop each PS&E package and special details. The Engineer shall develop each utility detail or PS&E package in compliance with the State’s UAR.
3. The Engineer shall develop a detailed estimate of quantities and construction cost estimate in standard State bid format. If necessary, the Engineer shall develop betterment costs.
4. The Engineer shall prepare General Notes and shall identify and provide a list of governing standard specifications, special specifications, and special provisions and the appropriate reference items. The Engineer shall prepare each plan sheet, detail sheet, special specification, special provision, and special note required to incorporate the utility designs into the State’s plans and bidding documents in a format required by the State.
5. If necessary, the Engineer shall provide any required Utility Certifications.
6. The Engineer shall prepare a Construction Time Determination schedule for each utility relocation design required to incorporate into the State’s construction schedule.
7. The Engineer shall evaluate and resolve any conflict with other utilities or highway facilities...
Utility Engineering. The Engineer shall perform engineering services consisting of Utility Engineering as describe below. As used below, “ensure” means to make certain that something has happened or will happen, and includes an obligation to deploy the appropriate level of engineering or other technical expertise, consistent with the complexity, cost, and level of risk associated with a task. Ensure does not require the completion of any task assigned to a separate entity under any other agreement. Utility Engineering include the identification of utility conflicts, coordination, compliance with the “Utility Accommodation Rules”, and resolution of utility conflicts. The Engineer shall coordinate all activities with the State’s designee to facilitate the orderly progress and timely completion of the State’s design phase.
Utility Engineering a. Preparation and maintenance of Existing Utility Layout (includes survey, records research, proposed roadway, sidewalk and drainage features, aerial background, with all utilities getting assigned a distinct line style for ease of visual identity), and QC. Layout is defined as a plotter Roll Plot (typical 36” x 52” Layout)
b. Verify Identified utility conflicts with proposed improvements and constructability of improvements, include labeling conflicts with numerical ID, determine any additional conflicts
c. Display and maintain potential utility conflict annotations on Utility Layout.
d. Create and maintain a further detailed Utility Conflict Matrix corresponding with each Conflict ID
e. Calculate conflict confirmation/ clearance with proposed improvement design information including pavement and drainage facilities
f. Evaluate potential need for SUE QL-B locating and QL-A Test Hole services at key locations for conflict determination
g. Provide formal QC of Utility Layout, Conflict Matrix
h. Upon confirmation of all conflicts, provide technical support to work with utility companies and design teams to obtain best solution to resolve each conflict - Design Modifications to Avoid, Protect in Place or Relocate Utility
i. Provide technical support for interpretation of Utility: standards, timelines, material descriptions, labor quantities, symbols, terms/ slang, and prior rights validation
j. Provide feasible proposed utility alignments for required facilities needing relocation
k. Assist utility companies in the relocation design by providing interim over-the-shoulder reviews and comment sessions on their relocation design plans. (Compatibility with road/ drainage improvements, Compliance to applicable Design Criteria Manual, Utility Accommodations Rules, Regulations, constructability, schedule and sequencing for Installations, Cutovers and customer outages, removal/ abandonment of old facilities) (maximum of 6 utility design plan reviews at twice each, 12 reviews total) l. Deliver a finalized Utility Layout, Conflict Matrix

Utility Engineering. Utility Engineering includes the identification of utility conflicts, coordination, compliance with the TAC, and resolution of utility conflicts. The Engineer shall coordinate all activities with the Owner to facilitate the orderly progress and timely completion of the project design phase.
A. Utility Engineering Activities
1. Utility Layout (Roll Plot):
a. Facilities in conflict with the proposed project that are to be relocated.
b. Facilities to be removed or abandoned in place.
c. Facilities that are going to be moved underground.
d. Facilities that an exception will be applied.
e. Facilities to remain in service and in place because of roadway design adjustments and meeting the current TAC.
f. If there are additional facilities, not shown in the SUE documents, which require relocation, the Engineer shall coordinate this information with the Owner immediately upon discovery.
Utility Engineering. Review existing utility information for conflicts with the proposed Project and provide a utility conflict analysis. • Provide a conceptual utility relocation plan. • Review utility plans for compliance with the appropriate policies, compatibility with the Project features, betterment inclusion and constructability. • Provide oversight review of location, materials, and backfilling of trenches associated with utility adjustments; not responsible for actual location of utilities.
