6.4.A. - Page 15 <br /> B. In the event of a conflict among construction codes and standards, the most <br /> stringent code or standard shall apply (except insofar as that standard, if <br /> followed, would result in a system that could not meet requirements of <br /> Federal, State or local law). Where there is a conflict in construction <br /> standards, the City Engineer shall be responsible for making the final <br /> determination as to which standard to apply. <br /> C. Permittee shall at all times employ reasonable care, within the meaning of <br /> applicable law, and shall install and maintain in use, commonly accepted <br /> methods and devices for preventing failures and accidents that are likely to <br /> cause damage, injury, or nuisance to the public. Without limiting the <br /> foregoing, all permittee's facilities located on public property shall be <br /> constructed, operated and maintained in accordance with good engineering <br /> practices and performed by experienced and properly trained maintenance <br /> and construction personnel. <br /> D. II permits issued after the effective date of this ordinance shall require private <br /> utilities, telephone, electrical, cable and communications facilities to be <br /> installed underground, except for equipment appurtenant to underground <br /> facilities, as approved by the City and found to be required to be located <br /> above ground, such as Surface mounted transformers, pedestal mounted <br /> terminal boxes and meter cabinets, and concealed ducts, Provided, however, <br /> in those areas where poles now exist and electric and telephone lines are <br /> now overhead, permittee may install facilities overhead if using the same <br /> poles. Whenever and wherever the owner of the poles moves its plant from <br /> overhead to underground placement in an area, all permittee's facilities must <br /> be relocated and moved underground as directed by the City Engineer, at <br /> permittee's expense, and in accordance with then-existing City practices, <br /> policies and regulations. This exception shall not apply within an <br /> underground district where all facilities must be installed underground. <br /> E.
