Each Transportation Enhancement project is required to have utility
clearance before it goes to bid advertisement. Project sponsors
are responsible for providing the documentation for such clearance.
The Utility Coordination and Conflict Resolution
Guide is available on the Project
Development Documents Web page.
Utility Coordination
During design, project sponsors send the 30%, 60%, and 95%
design plans to the various companies having utilities in the project
area to determine if there are any utility conflicts. Such
coordination will be documented in a report called a Utility
Packet; followed by a separate clearance memo stating that
there are no utility conflicts and, with regard to utilities,
the project is ready for bid advertisement.
Certification Acceptance
If the sponsor has Certification Acceptance, the Utility
Packet can follow their own formatting. If the sponsor does
not have Certification Acceptance, the Utility Packet must
conform to ADOT requirements.
