City of Fort Worth
Utility Construction Policy- 2019
The following policy shall govern all pavement cuts or excavations wn the City of Fort
Worth rights of way (ROW) and easements.
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to effectively manage street closures, minimize disruptions
to traffic flow, minimize damage, and ensure the proper repair to the street pavement
while allowing for utility construction and maintenance.
A. General
The Director of the Transportation and Public Works Department or his/her designated
representative ("Director") shall specify methods and materials that are acceptable for
utility construction within public rights of ways, and all plans and specifications shall be
reviewed and approved by the Director. Any variance to this policy must be approved by
the Director.
1. Variance Procedure:
The request must include the following:
1) Project/permit number with a description of the work being done.
2) Provide supporting information that justifies the need for the variance.
3) Provide an exhibit depicting the proposed limits of restoration.
Right -of --Way Management staff will review the variance request and forward the initial
determination to the Transportation &Public Works Director's office for processing and
final review. Once a final determination is made, the ROW user will be notified. The
ROW user must not start construction without an approved permit. Reduced restoration
limits are not allowed within a driveway approach and restoration should conform to the
expansion joint in the curb if one exists.
B. Planning and coordination
1. Advanced Planning: Maps and projected schedules for the current city fiscal year
for all construction planned or anticipated by each utility including water, sanitary sewer,
electric, gas, telecommunications, cable, etc., are to be submitted to the Director each
October 1. The City will review and distribute this information, which can be conceptual
and tentative, through a monthly coordination meeting with other utilities for purpose of
project planning, coordination and/or consolidation of projects.
1�Page
A. Permit Requirement: All pre -planned utility construction within public right-of-way,
including drainage or other applicable easements, must have a Street Use Permit for
Utility Construction ("Permit") prior to construction. A permit may also be required for any
work on Texas Department of Transportation ("TxDOT") right-of-way that is located within
the Fort Worth city limits. One (1) electronic copy of engineering plans must be received
by the Director a minimum of ten (10) working days prior to anticipated construction
(excludes emergency work). All plans for service connections must be received by the
Director a minimum of five (5) working days prior to anticipated construction. An approved
Permit will become void if construction has not begun within 30 calendar days after
approval of the permit. If the work cannot begin within the specified time period, the permit
holder must request an extension at least three (3) working days prior to expiration. All
construction work authorized by the Permit must be completed by the time specified
therein. If the work cannot be completed within the specified time period, the permit holder
must request an extension at least three (3) working days prior to expiration. A copy of
the Permit, including an approved Traffic Control Plan, and approved engineering plans
if applicable) shall be maintained at the construction site at all times. If any provisions of
this policy are not followed, the Permit may be revoked. If a permit holder has not
complied with the terms and conditions of this utility policy under a prior permit, new
permits may be denied. Permit approval will specify the type of surface restoration
required. A responsible representative with decision -making authority for the permit
holder shall be on site at all times during active construction.
3. Emergency Repairs: Emergency repairs may be undertaken without first obtaining
a permit, however, the utility company or contractor must inform the Director and shall
apply for a Permit within 24 hours of the onset of the emergency and provide the City with
a written detailed description of the emergency and the work performed, whether
completed or ongoing, to remedy the situation. An emergency is defined as a situation
presenting an imminent or actual hazard to personal or public health, safety or property.
4. Plans: Plans shall provide a cover sheet outlining the full limits and type of proposed
work; requested number of working days; project point of contact name, 24-hour phone
number, address; table of contents; complete legend; location of all trenches, directional
bores, street right -of --way, curbs, driveway approaches, sidewalks, and landscaping.
Information regarding irrigation systems, existing utilities, pull boxes, manholes, street
light, traffic signal or other poles; and loop detectors including horizontal and vertical
alignment of pipe sizes shall be provided to the extent necessary if it is determined that
they may conflict with construction operations. Plans should clearly indicate if the utility is
overhead or underground. Detailed drawings of the proposed utility installation should be
provided, such as pipe size, number of inner -ducts, profile and other utility structures such
as switch gear and transformers. The length and depth of all bores and trenches must be
clearly indicated. The engineer's or plan preparer's name, license number (if applicable),
and date the plans were finalized shall be on all plan sheets. Review copies shall be
distributed to the Director of the Transportation and Public Works Department, Water
Department, Environmental Quality Division of the Code Compliance Department, and
the Park and Recreation Department. Engineering plans shall also show the following:
Transportation &Public Works Department 817-392-1234
Water Department 817-392-4477
Contact numbers should also be shown for the other agencies such as Texas Department
of Transportation (TxDOT), railroads and gas pipeline companies, as appropriate.
5. Traffic Plan: One (1) electronic copy of the proposed Traffic Control Plan is
required. This should be submitted by the permit requestor to the Director with and follow
the same general, format of the engineering plans in accordance with the latest edition of
the Texas Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
6. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans and Grading Permits: Utility
construction, including linear projects with a total land disturbance of 1.0 acre or greater
or that are part of a common plan of development, must prepare a Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP), obtain permit authorization under the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Construction General Permit, implement appropriate Best
Management Practices (BMP) to minimize the discharge of pollutants into the Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4), and submit copies of the SWPPP & state storm
water permit(s) to the Environmental Quality Division of the Code Compliance
Department. See Chapter 12.5, Article X of the Fort Worth Code of Ordinances.
Any project that disturbs 1.0 acre or greater or that is part of a common plan of
development must obtain an approved City of Fort Worth grading permit prior to the
disturbance of land. All disturbed areas of the project including construction zone,
laydown or staging areas, spoils and stock piles, and parking areas must be considered
in the determination of the total land disturbance.
Projects that will disturb less than 1.0 acre do not require a SWPPP or grading permit,
but are regulated by City Ordinance to minimize the discharge of pollutants into the MS4.
See Chapter 12.5, Article IV, Division 1 of the Fort Worth Code of Ordinances.
Trash, concrete cut slurry, boring mud and water must be captured and not allowed to
enter the MS4. All disturbed areas must obtain final stabilization throughout the project.
All temporary sediment and erosion controls shall be removed and the area cleaned after
final stabilization has been achieved.
7. Deep Trenches: Any trenches must meet OSHA requirements including OSHA
minimum safety systems and programs.

Water Department
811
For City water and/or sewer pipes sixteen (16) inches in diameter or greater, field
verification (hydro excavation) of the alignment and elevation must be performed prior to
Jigging. Any exceptions to this requirement will require the approval of the Fort Worth
Water Department Director or his/her designated representative.
9. Notification:
1. Prior to beginning construction on any block in the project, on a block -by -block basis,
prepare and deliver a doorhanger or flier of the pending construction to the front door of
each residence or business that will be impacted by construction. The notice shall be
prepared as follows:
a. Post doorhanger or flier 7 days and 1 day prior to beginning any construction
activity on each block in the project area.
b. Prepare doorhanger or flier with the template. Electronic versions of the sample
doorhangers can be obtained from the City of Fort Worth Accela Citizens Access
website.
c. No construction will be allowed to begin on any block until the doorhanger or
flier is delivered to all residents of the block.
2. In the event it becomes necessary to temporarily shut down water or wastewater
service to residents or businesses during construction, prepare and deliver a doorhanger
or flier of the pending interruption to the front door of each affected resident.
a. Post doorhanger or flier 24 hours prior to the temporary interruption on each
block in the affected area.
b. Prepare doorhanger or flier with the template. Electronic versions of the sample
doorhangers can be obtained from the City of Fort Worth Accela Citizens Access
website.
c. No interruption of water or wastewater service can occur until the doorhanger
has been delivered to all affected residents and businesses.
In addition, the contractor shall install a project identification sign on each end of the work
site 48 hours in advance of the start of construction. The sign shall state the name and
phone numbers as shown in FIGURE D019 UTILITY REPAIR DESIGNATION SIGN.
4�Page
10. Coordination: The City reserves the right to coordinate and manage multiple
traffic disruptions, including street and lane closures, and to delay or deny issuance of
permits which unduly restrict traffic movement or for other public or private events near
which the closure of streets for planned (not emergency) work would disrupt the event or
the traffic associated therewith.
C. Traffic Management
The contractor must plan and execute the utility construction in a manner that minimizes
the disruption of traffic and in accordance with the City of Fort Worth Traffic Engineering
Manual. A maximum of one (1) lane ONLY may be closed for construction work in the
downtown area and along arterials unless otherwise authorized by the Director. Work
must be scheduled between the hours of 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM in the downtown and
along arterials unless extended hours are authorized by the Director. Normal traffic flow
will be maintained at all major intersections during peak hours without restriction. Work
must be scheduled on all other streets between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM unless extended
hours are authorized by the Director. Adequate traffic control devices are to be installed
and maintained in accordance with the approved Traffic Control Plan. The Director and/or
his/her designee may require additional traffic control devices.
D. Construction Requirement
1. Horizontal &Vertical Clearances: Where buried under roadway pavement, the
facility being constructed must be at least 42 inches below top of pavement and should
normally be placed under water, sanitary sewer and stormwater pipes; Within the
parkway, a minimum depth of 24 inches from street grade shall be required.
a. Stormwater Clearances: A minimum clearance of three (3) feet shall be
maintained both horizontally and vertically for pipes and associated manholes and inlets.
Where the utility crosses under a stream or other open channel, it shall be constructed a
minimum of four (4) feet below the bottom of the streambed or channel, or more if
improvements are planned by the City. If the utility passes over a stream or other open
channel, it must be at least two (2) feet above the 100-year storm elevation and provide
sufficient clearance for the passage of maintenance equipment underneath. The
contractor must restore the right-of-way, including all public infrastructure, to equal or
better condition than before the disturbance upon completion of the project. The utility
shall coordinate with Stormwater Management - Planning to verify whether improvements
are planned which might conflict with the utility's plans. Where the minimum clearances
cannot be accommodated, less than the minimum clearance may be allowed at the
discretion of the Stormwater Staff.
b. Water, Wastewater, and Reclaimed Water Infrastructure: Horizontal and vertical
clearances shall be in compliance with the City of Fort Worth Installation Policy and
S�Page
Design Criteria for Water (Section 5.6), Wastewater (Section 6.5), and Reclaimed Water
Infrastructure (Section 7.4).
2. Boring: Utilities installed longitudinally along the street may be bored or open cut.
Utilities installed across the street shall be bored unless otherwise authorized by the
Director.
3. Trench Design Standard: Dimensions and materials for open trenches shall
conform to the City of Fort Worth Standard Specification Document. Steel plates must be
used to cover a trench temporarily. See FIGURE D018 STEEL PLATE PLACEMENT
FOR TRENCH REPAIRS.
4. Driveways: It is preferred to bore under all driveways. If open trench methods are
used, all areas disturbed must be restored to equal or better condition prior to
demobilizing from the site.
5. Trees and Landscaping: All work performed under this policy shall be in
accordance with the City of Fort Worth Is Code of Ordinances, Chapter 33: Trees, Shrubs,
etc. The contractor must restore any damage to trees, shrubs and other landscaping in
the right of way or easement. For new construction or total reconstruction of the roadway,
manholes must be placed outside of the drip line of a tree or 15 feet from the tree trunk,
whichever is greater. Trees that are adjacent to the workspace and within the right of way
and parkway will require tree protection fencing at the dripline and all the way around to
restrict activity inside, keeping the root zone from being compacted by equipment and
reducing the potential for damage to the trunk. Boring, rather than an open trench, must
be used within the drip line of a tree. Variations to the tree and landscaping requirements
shall be approved by the City Forester.
6. Pavement Surface Restoration: In order to maintain an acceptable riding surface
on the street, the utility company, developer, or contractor shall replace the pavement
surface according to the age, Pavement Condition Index (PCI) and type of the pavement.
Backfill and compaction testing in accordance with the City of Fort Worth Standard
Specification 33 05 10 may be followed in lieu of flowable fill. However, flowable fill is
required to backfill all trenches in downtown streets. Any damage to the street surface
caused by the utility construction project, including damage related to staging operations
and material storage, must be properly repaired at the contractor's expense.
Replacement of pavement shall adhere to the following guidelines.
New Pavement
If a utility company, developer, or contractor desires or is required to cut the street within
the first two (2) years of construction or reconstruction, the entity must receive approval
from the Director. For concrete streets less than two (2) years old, effective June 1, 2019,
the entity must replace each whole slab with flowable fill, High Early Strength (HES)
concrete according to City Specification 31 13 13 or better, and meet a 12-foot
6�Page
straightedge requirement with a maximum allowable deviation of '/4 inch. For asphalt
streets less than two (2) years old, effective October 1, 2019, the entity must mill and
overlay the existing asphalt a minimum of two (2) inches using a paving machine from
curb to curb and block to block.
Concrete Pavement:
Effective June 1, 2019

(approximately 12') for 30 feet
in length
If a street is scheduled for construction start within 6 months and programmed for total
reconstruction under a Capital Improvement Program or resurfacing under a Street
Maintenance Program, permanent trench repair i Ms acceptable.
7. Other City Property: The permit holder is responsible for reimbursing the City for
the cost of replacing any signal cabinet controllers, light and/or traffic signal poles, wiring
or conduit, pavement markings, sprinkler systems, landscaping or any other City property,
damaged during construction.
8. Emergency Utility Breaks and New Utility Service (Spot Repairs): Pavement
surface restoration for concrete streets must follow guidelines in Item D6 above and
applicable city standard specifications. All such repair of asphalt streets shall use the T-
cut method to cut back and have a minimum rectangular size of 10 by 10 feet. Irregular
shapes shall not be permitted. The four sides of the cut shall be neatly sawed without
rough edges. The rectangular area will be extended to the edge of the gutter as needed
to avoid a cut surface within five (5) feet of edge of the gutter. Any remaining asphalt
pavement between spot repairs must be a minimum of ten (10) feet in all directions, see
FIGURE 320117-D021 PARTIAL ASPHALT REPLACEMENT. All emergency temporary
repairs will be constructed to permanent base and pavement repair within 14 calendar

COUNCIL ACTIQN: Approved on 5/7/2019 -Resolution No. 5082-05-2019
DATE: Tuesday, May 7, 2019
LOG NAME: 20POLICY FOR UTILITY CONSTRUCTION
REFERENCE NO.: G-19533
SUBJECT:
Adopt, Resolution Adopting the Utility Construction Policy for Pavement Cuts and Excavation and
Pavement Repair for Utility Construction within City Rights -of -Way and Easements, Effective June 1, 2019
for Concrete Pavement and October 1, 2019 for Asphalt Pavement (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution adopting the Utility Construction
Policy governing pavement cuts and excavation and pavement repair for utility construction within the
City's rights -of -way and easements effective June 1, 2019 for concrete pavement and October 1, 2019 for
asphalt pavement.
ISCUSSION:
City staff is recommending that the City Council adopt the attached policy governing pavement cuts and
excavation and pavement repair for utility construction within the City's rights -of -way and easements. This
policy, last updated in 2001, applies to all pavement cuts or excavations within the City of Fort Worth
rights -of -way and easements to ensure that street closures are effectively managed, disruptions to traffic
flow are minimized, and the proper repair to the street pavement due to utility construction and
maintenance.
In 2017-2018, the Transportation and Public Works Department staff, working alongside its consultant, the
University of Texas at Arlington Civil Engineering Department, performed a review of the 2001 Utility
Construction Policy to identify any feasible updates and improvements based on industry standards and
engineering research. The goal was to reduce the degradation on the City's pavement network due to
utility pavement cuts which have led to a reduction in pavement life, increased maintenance costs, and a
decrease in ride -ability. Representatives from the local utility companies were invited and were active
participants in the process along with representatives of the development community. The revised Policy
has been presented to the Development Advisory Committee and the Infrastructure and Transportation
Committee.
Major changes include elimination of most narrow strip or spot pavement repair in favor of a more
complete replacement to prolong the life of the pavement.as shown on the table, below:
