inform the bidders of these considerations. Tukwila and City Light will coordinate and cooperate to avoid unnecessary delays in the review and approval of change orders related to the Work made necessary to adjust design, schedules, and costs as outlined in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Franchise, PS&E or the City Light Civil Infrastructure Engineering Guidelines, City Light will have no independent authority to give direction to, or exercise control over, any of the City's Contractors or subcontractors, or their agents or employees, or to independently approve changes orders, issue field directives, or alter approved Civil Infrastructure Plans and Specifications. 1.6 Delay: Tukwila and City Light will work cooperatively to bring the Work to completion on schedule and within budget and to avoid disruption or delay to the City's contractor and its subcontractors. The Parties will be responsive to schedule and cost concerns and will commit sufficient resources to support the Work and will work cooperatively to resolve any unanticipated design and construction issues related to the Work as they may develop. 1.7 Civil Infrastructure: Tukwila will include the Civil Infrastructure (as defined in Section 2) as a separate Schedule to its construction bid documents, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, Schedule C. Tukwila will construct all City Light Civil Infrastructure and Private Property Civil Infrastructure. 1.8 Underground Electrical System: City Light will perform the installation of its electrical facilities and equipment (Underground Electrical System as defined in Section 2) within the completed Civil Infrastructure. Tukwila shall, with the assistance of City Light, be responsible for coordinating with the private property owners for the portion of the Work to be performed on private property (the "Private Property Infrastructure Work"). (See also Section 6 Construction.) In the event that a private property owner refuses the undergrounding of their service or is otherwise delayed, City Light may, at the request of the City Tukwila, place a pole and route conduit to pole as necessary to maintain electric service to a City Light customer or customers. Such work shall be at Tukwila's request and expense. 1.9 Hard Surface Removal and Restoration Costs: Hard surface removal and restoration within City Light trenching and vault excavation limits of Schedule C work shall be Tukwila's responsibility. A hard surface similar to existing conditions within said construction limits will be required until such time that repaving, resurfacing and installing new sidewalks as a component of the overall Project improvements is to occur. City Light shall promptly notify Tukwila if City Light discovers a need for hard surface removal and restoration outside the limits of Schedule C work area, so that appropriate change orders to the Project contract can be made to complete such work. 1.10 Sequencing of Conversion Work: City Light's most efficient sequencing for overhead to underground relocation and installation work such as this Project is to begin electrical work only after all Civil Infrastructure design and construction is completed and accepted. In the event the Civil Infrastructure work is substantially complete before the date City Light is to begin its electrical infrastructure installation work (the "Electrical Work") in accordance City of Tukwila — 53rd Ave S Undergrounding Agreement Page 3 of 17 FINAL
