(a) General control. Grantee, in any opening it shall make in the Streets of the City, shall be subject
to the provisions of this Ordinance and to all applicable ordinances, codes and regulations of the City.
The Gas Distribution System of the Grantee shall be located so as not to interfere with the public safety
or with the convenience of persons using the Streets.
(b) Right of designation. The City reserves the right by resolution of the City Council or otherwise
through proper representatives of the City to specifically designate the location of the Gas Distribution
System of Grantee with reference to municipal facilities, such as sewer and water mains, drainage
facilities, fiber optic cable, signal poles and lines and similar services, other facilities, such as public
telephone utilities, public electric utilities, public cable television utilities, and railway communication
and power lines, in such a manner as to protect the public safety and public and private property and to
facilitate the creation of a convenient, attractive, and harmonious community. Failure by the City to so
designate does not relieve Grantee of its responsibilities in matters of public safety as provided in this
Ordinance. Grantee shall construct, maintain, and locate its Gas Distribution System so as not to
interfere with the construction, location, and maintenance of sewer, water, drainage, electrical, signal,
and fiber optic facilities of the City. Any designation of location required or authorized by this
Ordinance shall be accomplished by the City so as not to unnecessarily delay the Grantee in any of its
operations.
(c) Notice to City. Except in the cases of emergencies under Subsection (d) of this Section, Grantee
shall not move, alter, change, or extend any of its Gas Distribution System in any Street unless prior
written notice of its intention so to do is given to the City Manager and permission in writing so to do
is granted by the City Manager or such requirement is waived by the City Manager. Such permission
3
shall be conditioned upon compliance with the terms and conditions of this Ordinance, with such other
terms and conditions as will preserve, protect, and promote the safety of the public using the Streets,
and as will prevent undue interference with or obstruction of the use of the Streets by the public, the
City or by any other public utility or public service corporation for their respective purposes and
functions, and shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(d) Written permits. The City Council may require that written permits, in any and all cases, be
obtained by Grantee whenever it becomes necessary for Grantee to excavate in the Streets in order to
install, construct, maintain or extend the Gas Distribution System. Such permits, if required, may be
made applicable to any and all types of excavations in the Streets, as prescribed by City Council, and
City Council may, by resolution, establish a fee for each excavation made in a Street by the Grantee.
Such permits may state the particular part or point of the Streets where construction or excavation is to
be conducted, the length of time in which such permit shall authorize such Work to be done and the
hours of each day during which such Work shall be undertaken. A single permit may be issued for
multiple excavations to be made in Streets; provided, however, any Street opening fee established by
City Council shall apply to each excavation made in Streets of the City. Exceptions to the requirement
for a written permit shall be allowed in cases of emergencies involving public safety or restoration of
service. In the case of emergency excavations made in the Streets without permit, Grantee shall make
a report of each such excavation to the City within two (2) working days and pay such fee as may be
established by City Council for excavations in Streets by public utilities. Any permit applications and
inspections related to repair of excavations shall be promptly acted upon by the City s o as not to
unnecessarily delay the Grantee in efficiently discharging its public service obligation. Any fees for
permits or inspections charged by the City shall be based on the City’s actual costs of administering
the program of issuing permits and conducting inspections.
(e) Restoration of Streets. Immediately after installation, repair, or extension of the Gas Distribution
System or any portion thereof or any pavement cut by Grantee in any Street of the City, the incidental
trenches or excavations shall be refilled by Grantee in a manner consistent with the policies,
procedures, and regulations promulgated by the City Engineer. Grantee shall maintain, repair and keep
in good condition for a period of two (2) years following such disturbance all porti ons of public ways
disturbed by Grantee, provided such maintenance and repair shall be necessary because of defective
workmanship or materials supplied by Grantee.
(f) Removal of obstructions and defects. Grantee shall promptly remove or correct any obstruction
or defect in any Street which may have been caused by Grantee in the installation, operation,
maintenance, or extension of Grantee’s Gas Distribution System. Any such obstruction or defect
which is not promptly removed, repaired, or corrected by Grantee after proper notice so to do, given by
the City to Grantee, may be removed or corrected by the City, and the cost thereof shall be charged
against Grantee and may be enforced as a lien upon any of Grantee’s properties or assets. Any
expense of damage, relocation, or replacement to City water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, storm
drainage, or communication facilities resulting from construction or maintenance of Grantee’s Gas
Distribution System shall be borne by Grantee and any expense incurred in connection therewith by
the City shall be reimbursed by the Grantee.
(g) Minimum inconvenience; protection of public. Grantee shall not open, disturb, or obstruct, at
any one time, any more of the Streets, than reasonably may be necessary to enable it to proceed with
advantage in laying or repairing its Gas Distribution System. Neither shall Grantee permit any Street
so opened, disturbed, or obstructed by it in the installation, construction, repair, or extension of its Gas
Distribution System to remain open or the public way disturbed or obstructed for a longer period of
time than reasonably shall be necessary. In all cases where any Street shall be excavated, disturbed, or
obstructed by Grantee, Grantee shall take all precautions necessary or proper for the protection of the
4
public and shall maintain adequate warning signs, barricades, signals, and other devices necessary or
proper to adequately give notice, protection, and warning to the public of the existence of all actual
conditions present.
(h) Relocation of City facilities. Whenever the City shall widen, reconstruct, realign, pave, or repave
any Street, or shall change the grade or line of any Street, or shall construct or reconstruct any water,
sanitary sewer, storm sewer, drainage, or communications facility of the City, it shall be the duty of
Grantee to move, alter, or relocate its Gas Distribution System or any part thereof as requested by the
City at Grantee’s cost and expense. Upon written notice by the City Manager of the City’s intention to
perform work as specified above, Grantee shall within a reasonable period of time accomplish its
obligation in accordance with and to conform to the plans of the City for such construction,
reconstruction, or improvements. Should the Grantee fail, refuse or neglect to comply with such
notice, the Gas Distribution System or any part thereof may be removed, altered, or relocated by the
City, the cost of which shall be paid by Grantee, and the City shall not be liable to Grantee for any
damages resulting from such removal, alteration, or relocation. In cases where Grantee believes the
costs of relocation by Grantee would be cost prohibitive and an alternative location of the City’s
facilities would be feasible, the City and Grantee shall jointly evaluate whether Grantee could
reasonably pay any additional costs to the City of the alternative City facility location in lieu of
relocating Grantee’s facilities. Grantee shall not be required by the City to relocate its Gas
Distribution System when any Street in which such System is located is vacated, closed, or abandoned
by the City for the convenience of abutting property owners and not as an incident to a public
improvement. The City shall give Grantee notice in writing of such proposed abandonments or Street
closings to allow Grantee to protect its access interests.

breakdown, accident, or other happening beyond the control of Grantee, Grantee shall use every
reasonable effort and shall exercise prompt diligence to restore such service with as little interruption
as reasonably possible and, in all events, within a reasonable time, but any such interruption or failure
5
of service caused by any of the aforesaid reasons shall not, of itself, constitute a breach of this
Franchise.
SECTION 9. COMPLIANCE WITH ALL LAWS.
Grantee agrees to and will comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and
regulations, including, but not limited to all applicable licensing requirements and environmental
regulations. Grantee further agrees that Grantee does not and shall not during the performance of this

Ordinance, the Franchise and existing laws, such additional ordinances and regulations as are

satisfy its obligations hereunder.
SECTION 13. APPROVAL OF TRANSFER.
No sale, assignment or lease by the Grantee of the privileges granted under this Ordinance shall be
effective until Grantee's successor shall have agreed in writing with the City to accept the terms and
conditions of this Ordinance and Franchise and to perform in accordance with its terms and conditions.
SECTION 14. LIABILITY.
Grantee agrees and binds itself to indemnify, keep, and hold the City, its officers, agents and
employees free and harmless from liability on account of injury or damage to persons or property
growing out of or directly or indirectly resulting from: (a) Grantee’s use of the Streets of the City; (b)
the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, erection, installation, operation, maintenance, repair or
extension of Grantee’s Gas Distribution System; (c) the exercise of any right or privilege granted by or
under this Ordinance or any Franchise; or (d) the failure, refusal or neglect of Grantee to perform any
duty imposed upon or assumed by Grantee by or under this Ordinance or any Franchise. In the event
that any suit or proceeding shall be brought against the City at law or in equity, either independently or
jointly with Grantee on account thereof, Grantee, upon notice given to it by the City, will defend the
City in any such action or other proceeding, at the cost of the Grantee. In the event at a final judgment
being awarded against the City, either independently or jointly with Grantee, then Grantee will pay

hold the City, its officers, agents, employees and volunteers harmless therefrom.
