sufficiently complete to allow for the initial evaluation, coordination and the development
<br /> of a relocation plan. The City and MClmetro shall meet at a time and location
<br /> determined by the City to discuss the project requirements including critical timelines,
<br /> schedules, construction standards, utility conflicts, as-built requirements, and other
<br /> pertinent relocation plan details. The City shall notify MClmetro as soon as practicable
<br /> of the need for relocation and shall specify the date by which relocation shall be
<br /> completed. Except in case of emergency such notice shall be no less than 90 days.
<br /> b. To ensure timely execution of relocation requirements, MClmetro shall,
<br /> upon written request from the City, provide at MClmetro's expense, base maps, current
<br /> as-built information, detailed relocation plan (including detailed schedule of relocation
<br /> activities, identification of critical path, identification of facilities, and relocation
<br /> procedures), and other design, technical or operational requirements within the
<br /> timeframe specified by the City.
<br /> c. MClmetro may, after receipt of written notice requesting a relocation of
<br /> its facilities, submit to the City written alternatives to such relocation within the time
<br /> specified by the City. Such alternatives shall include the use and operation of temporary
<br /> facilities in adjacent rights-of-way. The City shall evaluate such alternatives and advise
<br /> MClmetro in writing if one or more of the alternatives are suitable to accommodate the
<br /> work, which would otherwise necessitate relocation of the facilities. If requested by the
<br /> City, MClmetro shall submit additional information to assist the City in making such
<br /> evaluation. The City shall give each alternative proposed by MClmetro full and fair
<br /> consideration. In the event the City, in its sole discretion, decides not to accept the
<br /> alternatives suggested by MClmetro, MClmetro shall relocate its facilities as otherwise
<br /> specified in Section 5, subparagraph 5.
<br /> d. Upon final approval of the relocation plan by the City, MClmetro shall,
<br /> consistent with the requirements of TMC § 11.32.090(E) and RCW § 35.99.060, and at
<br /> the time frame specified by the City, temporarily or permanently remove, relocate, place
<br /> underground, change or alter the position of any facilities or structures within the right-
<br /> of-way whenever the City has determined that such removal, relocation,
<br /> undergrounding, change or alteration is reasonably necessary for the construction,
<br /> repair, maintenance, installation, public safety, or operation of any public improvement
<br /> in or upon the rights-of-way. In the event relocation is required by reason of construction
<br /> by a third party, non-governmental entity, for the sole benefit of the third party, non-
<br /> governmental entity then MClmetro's relocation costs shall be borne by the third party.
<br /> e. If during the construction, repair, or maintenance of the City's public
<br /> improvement project an unexpected conflict occurs from MClmetro's facilities, MClmetro
<br /> shall, upon notification from the City, respond within 24 hours to resolve the conflict.
<br /> f. MClmetro acknowledges and understands that any delay by MClmetro
<br /> in performing the work to alter, adjust, relocate, or protect in place its facilities within the
<br /> public rights-of-way may delay, hinder, or interfere with the work performed by the City
<br /> and its contractors and subcontractors in furtherance of construction, alteration, repair,
<br /> or improvement of the public rights-of-way, and result in damage to the City, including
<br /> but not limited to, delay claims. MClmetro shall cooperate with the City and its
