WHEREAS, the Town of Westlake desires to protect the physical integrity of its
infrastructure, rights-of-way and easements;
WHEREAS, the Town desires to control the orderly flow of vehicles and
pedestrians;
WHEREAS, the Town desires to keep track of the various systems using the
rights-of-way and easements to prevent interference between them;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
TOWN OF WESTLAKE TEXAS:
SECTION 1: Rights -of -Way and Easement Usage Requirements. No
person shall commence or continue with the construction, installation, or operation of
facilities within rights-of-way and publicly dedicated easements in the Town except as
provided by the ordinances of the Town and the directives of the Town staff. All
construction activity in Town rights-of-way and easements will be in accordance with
this ordinance.
(1) Registration and Construction Permits
a. Registration. In order to protect the public health, safety and welfare, all
users of the Town rights-of-way and easements must register with the Town
of Westlake on a form provided by the Town. Registration and permits will
be issued in the name of the person who will own the facilities. Registration
must be renewed every five -(5) years. For utilities with a current franchise
or license, the franchise or license will be evidence of renewal. If a
registration is not renewed and subject to sixty -(60) day written notification
to the owner, the facilities of the user will be deemed to have been
abandoned. When any information provided on the registration form
changes, the user must inform the Town of Westlake of the change no more
than thirty (30) days after the date the change is made. Information
provided in applications for construction permits shall constitute notice of
any changes in the registration information for the user. Registration shall
include:
1. The name of the user of the right-of-way;
2. The names, addresses, and telephone numbers of people who will be
contact person(s) for the user;
3. The name, address, and telephone number of any contractor or
subcontractor, if known, who will be working in the right-of-way on
behalf of the user;
4, The name(s) and telephone number of an emergency contact who shall
be available twenty-four (24) hours a day;
5. Proof of insurance and bonds;
(a) An applicant shall obtain and maintain insurance in the following
amounts with a company authorized to do business in the State of
Texas acceptable to the Town :
TYPE OF INSURANCE

Each Accident .5
Disease -Policy Limit .5
Disease -Each Employee .5
(b) The Town reserves the right to review the insurance requirements
during the effective period of any franchise or municipal consent
agreement, and to reasonably adjust insurance coverage and limits
when the Town Manager determines that changes in statutory law,
court decisions, or the claims history of the industry or the provider
require adjustment of the coverage. For purposes of this section, the
Town may accept certificates of self-insurance issued by the State of
Texas or letters written by the applicant in those instances where the
State does not issue such letters, that provide the same coverage
required herein. However, for the Town to accept such letters, the
2
applicant must demonstrate by written information that it has
adequate financial resources to be a self-insured entity as reasonably
determined by the Town, based on financial information requested
by and furnished to the Town.
(c) Each policy must include a cancellation provision in which the
insurance company is required to notify the Town in writing, not
fewer than thirty (30) days before canceling, failing to renew, or
reducing policy limits. Each policy must provide that notice of
claims shall be provided to the Town Manager by certified mail.
(d) The applicant must file the required original certificate of insurance
prior to any commencement of work. The certificate must state the
policy number; name of insurance company; name and address of
the agent or authorized representative of the insurance company;
name, address and telephone number of insured; policy expiration
date; and specific coverage amounts. The certificate must name the
Town and its officers, employees, board members and elected
representatives as additional insureds for all applicable coverage.
The Town may request the deletion, revision or modification of
particular policy terms, conditions, limitations or exclusions, unless
the policy provisions are established by law or regulation binding the
Town, the applicant or the underwriter. If the Town requests a
deletion, revision or modification, the applicant must exercise
reasonable efforts to pay for and to accomplish the change.
(e) Applicant must obtain and maintain, at its sole cost and expense, and
file with the Town Secretary, a corporate surety bond in the amount
of $100,000 both to guarantee timely construction and faithful
adherence to all requirements of this ordinance. The bond amount
may be reduced to $50,000 after a period of two (2) years provided
applicant has complied with all terms and conditions herein. The
bond must contain the following endorsement: "It is hereby
understood and agreed that this bond may not be cancelled by the
surety nor any intention not to renew be exercised by the surety until
thirty (30) days after receipt by the Town of written notice of such
intent." The bond must provide, but not be limited to, the following
condition: There shall be recoverable by the Town, jointly and
severally from the principal and the surety, any and all damages, loss
or costs suffered by the Town resulting from the failure of the
applicant to satisfactorily construct facilities and adherence to all the
requirements of this ordinance. The rights reserved to the Town with
respect to the bond are in addition to all other rights of the Town,
whether reserved by this ordinance, or authorized by law; and no
action, proceeding or exercise of a right with respect to such bond
shall affect any other rights the Town may have.
3
(f) The Town Manager or his designee may waive or reduce the above
requirements, taking into consideration both that the applicant has
furnished the Town with reasonable documentation to evidence
adequate financial resources substantially greater than the insurance
and bonding requirements, and has demonstrated in prior right-of-
way construction activity, prompt resolution of any claims and
substantial compliance with all required applicable codes and
ordinances.
(g) The above financial and insurance requirements may be met by
applicants with a current franchise or license and applicants
governed by Chapter 283 of the Texas Local Government Code if
the current franchise, license or statutory indemnity adequately
provides for insurance or bonds or provides an indemnity in favor of
the Town.
b. Construction permits
1. Permit applications are required for construction or installation of new,
replacement or upgraded facilities in rights-of-way and easements,
whether aerial or underground, except as provided herein. The permit
will be in the name of the person who will own the facilities to be
constructed. The permit application must be completed and signed by a
representative of the owner of the facilities to be constructed.
(a) Emergency responses related to existing facilities may be undertaken
without first obtaining a permit; however the Town Manager should
be notified in writing as promptly as possible, though in no event
later than two (2) business days of any construction related to an
emergency response and must as soon as reasonably practicable
apply for and obtain the permits required herein.
(b) The phrase "construction or installation of new, replacement or
upgraded facilities" does not include repair or maintenance of
existing facilities unless such repair or maintenance requires the

Town Manager or his/her designee will use his/her best efforts to
approve or disapprove a request for permit as soon as possible.
8. A copy of any permit or approval issued by federal or state authorities

Westlake must be provided, if requested by the Town Staff.
9. A request for a permit must be submitted at least five (5) working days
before the proposed commencement of work in the request, unless
waived by the Town Manager or his/her designee. Permit requests for
large projects may require additional review time.
10. Requests for permits will be approved or disapproved by the Town
Manager or his/her designee within a reasonable time of receiving all the
information. The Town Manager or his/her designee will use his/her
best efforts to approve or disapprove a request for permit as soon as
possible.
11. The Town Staff or the applicant can request a pre -construction meeting
with the permittee and their construction contractor.
(2) Construction Standards
a. Town Staff must be notified twenty-four (24) hours in advance that
construction is ready to proceed by either the right-of-way user, their
contractor or representative. At the time of notification, the right-of-way
user must inform the Town Staff of the number (or other information)
assigned from the one -call system.
b. All construction must be in conformance with all Town codes and standard
details for construction and all applicable local, state and federal laws.
Backfilling must meet or exceed Federal Department of Transportation
requirements.
2
c. Erosion control measures (e.g. silt fence) and advance warning signs,
markers, cones and barricades must be in place before work begins, if
applicable.
d. Lane closures on major thoroughfares may occur only between 8:30 a.m. and
4:00 p.m. unless the Town Staff grants prior approval. Barricades and
signage must be installed in accordance with the Texas Manual of Uniform
Traffic Control Devices.
£ Without affecting the legal relationship between permittee and its
contractors, permittees are responsible for the workmanship and any damages
by its contractor or subcontractors. Permittees are responsible for maintaining
job site and roadway cleanliness. A responsible representative of the
permittee must be available to the Town Staff at all times during
construction.
g. Permittee must comply with Town, State and Federal guidelines applicable to
permittee.
h. Permittee, contractor or subcontractor must notify the Town Staff
immediately of any damage to other utilities, either Town or privately
owned.
i. It is the Town's policy not to cut streets, trails or sidewalks; however, when a
street, trail or sidewalk cut is required, prior approval must be obtained from
the Town Staff and all requirements of the Town Staff must be followed.
Repair of all street and sidewalk removals must be made promptly to avoid
safety hazards to vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
j. Installation of facilities must not interfere with Town utilities, including
without limitation, gravity dependent facilities.
k. New facilities must be installed to a depth in conformance with applicable
State and Federal guidelines. In the absence of State and Federal guidelines,
new facilities must be installed to a depth approved by the Town Manager or
his designee.
I. New facilities, including new service drops, must be placed underground
absent a reasonable demonstration by the facility owner, developer or
affected property owner that this requirement is not technically,
environmentally or economically feasible. Aboveground appurtenances and
equipment and, if permitted, above- ground facilities must be placed along
rear lot or tract lines. Fire Hydrants and traffic signal controllers are
exempted from the rear lot or tract line requirement with passage of this
ordinance. Town will work diligently with facility owner, developer and
affected property owners during the zoning and platting processes of new
subdivisions to ensure reasonable equipment access to facilities along rear lot
or tract lines will be available. When facilities are to be placed along rear lot
7
or tract lines, before construction of facilities commences, the easement must
be reduced to final grade, at developer's sole cost and expense. Additionally,
if the easement is located within a floodplain., the entire surface of the
easement shall be raised above the floodplain elevation, at developer's sole
cost and expense, before construction of the facilities commences. The
necessity for removal of minimal fencing and/or landscaping within
easements to permit the replacement of facilities, appurtenances, and
equipment is considered to be within the definition of reasonable access.
Where no such access can be made available, facility owner and developer
must make reasonable efforts to place above -ground facilities, appurtenances
and equipment in the least visible areas of the street rights-of-way and street
yards that are consistent with reasonable Town standards. Sight visibility
easements and horizontal clear triangles are not appropriate locations for the
placement of above -ground facilities, appurtenances and equipment as they
would create safety concerns by blocking or impairing the visibility of
vehicular traffic.
m. All directional boring must have locator place bore marks and depths while
the bore is in progress. Locator shall place a mark at each stem with paint
dot and depth at least every other stem.
n. The working hours in the rights-of-way are 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday
through Friday. Work that needs to be performed after 6:00 p.m. Monday
through Friday must be approved by the Town Manager or his designee in
advance. Directional boring is permitted only Monday through Friday 7:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m., unless approved in advance. No work will be done, except
for emergencies, on Town holidays. All work must be performed in
compliance with Town noise and nuisance code requirements.
o. Contractors will be responsible for physically verifying the location, both
horizontal and vertical, of all potentially affected facilities, whether by pot
holing, hand digging or other method approved by the Town Staff prior to
any excavation or boring with the exception of work involving lane closures,
as provided above.
p. Placement of all manholes and/or hand holes must be approved in advance by
the Town Staff. Handholes or manholes must not be located in sidewalks,
unless approved by the Town Staff.
q. Locate flags shall not be removed from a location while facilities are being
constructed.
r. Construction that requires pumping of water or mud must be contained in
accordance with federal and state law.
s. Permittee may trim trees in or over the rights-of-way and easements for the
safe and reliable operation, use and maintenance of its facilities. All
trimming in rights-of-way and easements must be in accordance with
8
guidelines established by the National Arborist Association and
International Society of Arboriculture, and should by done in such a
manner to preserve as much vegetation and natural shape of trees as
reasonably possible, and still accomplish a safe and effective tree
trimming program. Reasonable efforts must be made to contact affected
property owners prior to necessary tree trimming operations. Should
utility provider or entity, its contractor or agent, fail to remove tree
trimmings within 24 hours after completion of a trimming project, unless
a longer period is required for extraordinary conditions and conditions
beyond the control of provider, the Town may remove the trimmings or
have them removed, and upon receipt of a bill from the Town, the utility
provider or entity must reimburse the Town for all costs incurred within
30 working days. Utility provider or entity shall not be responsible for tree
trimming or removal above the work required to maintain or restore utility
service.
(3) "As -Built" Plans.
a. Right-of-way users must provide the Town Manager or his/her designee with
"As -Built" plans within ninety (90) days of completion of facilities in the
right-of-way. The plans must be provided to the Town in a format used in
the ordinary course of user's business to the extent they are prepared in the
ordinary course of business, but excluding customer specific, proprietary or
confidential information and as reasonably prescribed by the Town, and as
allowed by law.
b. The Town Manager for good cause may waive this requirement, or portions
of this requirement. Determination of good cause shall include an assessment
of 1) the right-of-way user's ability to feasibly and economically remove
customer specific, proprietary or confidential information from its plans and
2) the right-of-way user's standard business practice relative to the
preparation of construction and as -built plans. The Town Manager may
reassess waivers from time to time to determine whether right-of-way user's
ability to provide as -built plans has changed.
(4) Conformance With Public Improvements. Whenever, by reasons of
widening or straightening of streets, water or sewer line projects, or any other
public works projects, (e.g. install or improve storm drains, water lines,
sewer lines, etc.) it shall be deemed necessary by the governing body of the
Town to remove, altar, change, adapt, or conform the underground or
overhead facilities of a right-of-way user to another part of the right-of-way,
the alterations must be made by the owner of the facilities at their expense,
unless provided for by State law or an existing franchise until that franchise
expires or is otherwise terminated, within the time limits set by the public
works director working in conjunction with the owner or, if no time frame
can be approved, within one -hundred twenty (120) days from the day the
notice was sent to make the alterations, unless a different schedule has been
approved by the public works director or his/her designee. Facilities not
9
moved after one -hundred twenty (120) days or within the approved schedule,
as it may be extended from time to time, shall be deemed abandoned after
thirty- (3 0) days notice, except for force majeure.
(5) Improperly Installed Facilities.
a. Any person doing work in the Town right-of-way must properly install,
repair, upgrade and maintain facilities.
b. Facilities installed after the effective date of this ordinance shall be
considered to be improperly installed, repaired, upgraded or maintained if:
1. The installation, repairs, upgrade or maintenance endangers people.
2. The facilities do not meet the applicable Town codes.
3. The facilities are not capable of being located using standard practices.
4. The facilities are not located in the proper place at the time of construction
in accordance with the directions provided by the Town Staff:
(6) Restoration of Property.
a. Users of the right-of-way must restore property affected by construction of
facilities to a condition that is equal to or better than the condition of the
property prior to the performance of the work.
b. Restoration must be to the reasonable satisfaction of the Town Staff and the
property owner. The restoration shall include, but not be limited to:
1. Replacing all ground cover with the type of ground cover damaged
during work or better either by sodding or seeding, as directed by the
Town Staff.
2. Installation of all manholes and handholes, as required.

schedules and to the satisfaction of Town Manager or his/her designee. If
restoration is not satisfactory and performed in a timely manner all work in
progress, except that related to the problem, including all work previously
permitted but not complete may be halted and a hold may be placed on any
permits not approved until all restoration is complete.
(7) Revocation or Denial of Permit. If any of the provisions of this ordinance are
not followed, a permit may be revoked by the public works director or designee.
If a person has not followed the terms and conditions of this ordinance in work
done pursuant to a prior permit, new permits may be denied or additional terms
required.
(8) Appeal From Denial or Revocation of Permit. Appeal from denial or
revocation of permit or from the decision of the public works director shall be to
the Board of Aldermen. Appeal must be filed with the Town Secretary within
fifteen (15) days of the denial.
