Important information for electric utility coordination
To help facilitate timely electric utility coordination, please note the following:
-
Provide conflict list and associated drawings
-
- E-mail documents to the DTE address that will be provided with maps.
- Documents must be received no less than 10 days before the Utility Coordination Meeting.
- Specifically identify conflicts and provide locations of conflicts:
- Poles and/or wire conflicts
- Street lighting posts and/or underground cable
- Underground facilities (i.e. cable, conduit, manholes and ground mounted equipment)
-
Requesting Company / Owner Agency to conduct Utility Coordination Meeting (The purpose of this meeting is to confirm design conflicts and discuss design options and/or relocation options.)
-
- Meeting should occur as soon as possible, but after the following have been completed:
- Utilities have been plotted on Requesting Company / Owner Agency’s design documents.
- Conflicts have been identified by Requesting Company / Owner Agency.
- Conflict list has been created by Requesting Company / Owner Agency.
-
Requesting Company / Owner Agency to conduct Pre-Construction Meeting (The purpose of this meeting is to confirm or coordinate the resolution of conflicts/relocations identified at the Utility Coordination Meeting.)
Note: Conflict information must be communicated prior to the Utility Coordination Meeting. Failure to do so will likely prevent DTE from meeting the project’s utility relocation time line.
