As part of the Project I&M will be relocating and improving its underground electric distribution network within the City. I&M will use its best efforts to plan for the construction, operation and maintenance of its electric utility facilities in a manner which avoids the unnecessary digging up of streets within the Project area following completion of the Project. Requirements of I&M • Provide a direct contact for both above ground and below ground work conducted by I&M who is responsible to responding to both the City and the Rieth-Riley Construction Company ("Rieth-Riley") who is performing the City's Smart Streets construction project. The respective points of contact shall respond to Rieth-Riley and the City within twenty-four (24) hours on specific matters of concern that may arise during the Project. • Provide the City and Rieth-Riley a detailed Gantt Chart for all work expected to be completed by I&M during the Smart Streets project. Such Gantt Chart shall be updated weekly throughout the project and approved for work up to 14 days by both the City and Rieth-Riley prior to I&M commencing activity. • I&M understands that it has the responsibility to work within the schedule established by the City and Rieth-Riley. Accordingly, should Rieth-Riley request I&M to move from a worksite, I&M shall have no more than forty-eight (48) hours to demobilize from the worksite and leave such worksite in a manner which is reasonably acceptable to Rieth- Riley. Such demobilization and related repair work shall be at the sole expense of I&M. • A failure by I&M to adequately demobilize during the forty-eight (48) hour demobilization window may result in the City suspending issuance of the specific permit issued to I&M that applies to the affected area to proceed with its portion of the Project. • I&M will not be required to relocate the duct bank along the east side of Michigan Street between Marion Street and Madison Street, provided that I&M agrees to pay the City up to $50,000.00 for the costs relating to the City's alternative curb alignment and drainage system which the City will need to construct to accommodate I&M's duct bank, as depicted on the drawings attached hereto as Exhibit A. The parties hereto agree and understand that this provision is only applicable to the City's Smart Streets initiative, and AEP Legal 1140015.2 2 04/11/2016 13:58:27
