About this file

This is a Project Utility Coordination Form submitted by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation Highway Division for Proposal No. 613727-136651, detailing utility relocation requirements for the reconstruction of Allen Street (MA285) in Braintree, Massachusetts. The project involves coordinating relocations for seven utility poles and related infrastructure managed by multiple utility providers including Braintree Electric Light Department (BELD), Comcast, Verizon, National Grid Gas, Enbridge, AT&T, Eversource Gas, MWRA Sewer, and others. The utility coordination work is organized into nine sequential tasks spanning two phases, with estimated durations totaling approximately 92 work days for utility operations excluding lead times. Key activities include temporary fiber relocation, pole repositioning, conduit system installation, guy wire installation for utility pole #7, and final utility structure adjustments. The contractor must provide seven calendar days advance notification to the District Construction Office to enable 30 days advance notice-to-proceed for each utility relocation sequence, with the scheduled advertisement date of August 15, 2026.

The contractor is responsible for all enabling work including site preparation, environmental controls, digsafe marking, and providing safe unimpeded access to utilities for trucks, lifts, and cranes. Seasonal restrictions apply to gas line work, which cannot be installed between November 15 and April 15, with the same restrictions applying to municipally owned electric and gas utilities. The form identifies specific utilities working concurrently on-site and notes that BELD requires 30 days advance notice for utility disconnections. Special provisions address potential access restraints, contractor coordination responsibilities, and the integration of utility work into the project's baseline schedule, with all costs associated with access provision deemed incidental to the project.

IMPORTANT BASIS NOTES - FOR CONTRACTOR

Enabling' work by the Contractor - Prep site (clearing, grubbing, guard rail removal) as required. Contractor will also install project environmental controls (hay bales, silt fence, etc.) as required per the project plans prior to the start of any work. Digsafe paint and pole markout with proposed curb marked out.

Pre-Walk with all utilities, DE, DURE, RE, and Contractor.

"Concurrent Utilities" operations noted herein, are to signify those Utility Company operations that can be worked concurrently (e.g. Utility A and Utility B work on-site together) - MassDOT and the Contractor are to prepare NTPs to Utilities accordingly.

Sub-Total

VZ contractor to relocate conduit risers VZ Line to place strand and guying VZ Line to place new cables VZ Splice to cut over cables and terminals VZ Line to transfer/remove cables and terminals

'Enabling' work by contractor - set grade at utility pole #15

** Assumed Duration, Not Provided By Utility Company.

Unless otherwise specified in the MassDOT Construction Contract, or unless specifically noted within this PUC Form, these durations (herein) are based upon the Contractor providing unimpeded access to the Utility company to perform Utility relocations (see Note 5 - Access).

Access - Unless otherwise noted in the Contract, and in addition to the 'enabling' notes above, the Contractor must provide safe and unimpeded access (for trucks, lifts, cranes, etc.) to the Utilities, to allow for the proposed relocation(s) - including but not limited to snow removal, clearing and grubbing, guard rail removal, barrier removal, tree removal, and grading. Any costs associated with these tasks are deemed to be incidental to the project.

For all MassDOT construction contracts issued after January 2014, the new Utility Coordination/documentation specification is required. This is Section 8.14 in Design-Bid-Build Contracts (see Design-Build index reference for applicable section #).

Prior to starting any and all enabling work for Utilities, the Contractor is to plan in advance with submittals and approved durations.

* Potential District Initiated Early Utility Relocation - if noted herein, the District reserves the right to initiate early utility relocation in advance of the Contract NTP. In submitting a bid price and in the development/basis of the Baseline Schedule, the Contractor shall not plan the Work with the potential benefit of any form of 'early utility relocation.' As a requirement of the Baseline submission, unless otherwise noted in this Specification, the earliest that the first Utility company is to receive the 30 days advance notification to mobilize to the site, will be 7 calendar days after the pre-construction meeting and never sooner than 7 days after the Contract NTP.
