§ 71-111. Completion.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    The initial construction of a grantee's cable communications system shall be completed by the grantee within 90 days of the estimated completion date provided in the grantee's franchise application unless extended with the consent of the city. The initial construction of the system shall be deemed complete upon the issuance of a final order of completion issued by the city. A grantee who asserts completion shall file a written notice of completion with the city clerk. Neither the notice of completion nor the statements, assertions or certifications contained therein shall be deemed to be binding upon the city. A final order of completion for initial construction of the cable communications system shall be issued by the city when:

    (1)

    Construction of the cable communications system described in the application for a franchise has been completed within the entirety of franchise area granted in compliance with construction standards and the design and other requirements of this chapter;

    (2)

    Any and all studio facilities, equipment, channels and other services, resources or benefits required for governmental access purposes pursuant to the provisions of this chapter or in any franchise agreement between the city and grantee have been completed and made available;

    (3)

    Complete and accurate as-built survey drawings detailing all equipment and facilities in the streets and rights-of-way of the city, including but not limited to the location and depth of all underground lines and the location of all overhead facilities, have been filed by the grantee with the city; and

    (4)

    A notice of completion has been filed by the grantee as provided in this section.

    (b)

    During the period of construction of the cable communications system and during the 60-day period following filing of the notice of completion, all elements and components thereof and all equipment and studio facilities required by the franchise documents shall be subject to inspection by city employees or authorized agents or representatives thereof, for the purpose of determining whether the system and related facilities comply with the franchise and the provisions of this chapter. The grantee shall authorize such inspection and provide such information and cooperation as is required in order to permit an adequate investigation to determine the existence or nonexistence of such compliance.

    (c)

    After a final order of completion has been issued, a grantee shall provide city with supplemental survey drawings meeting the criteria contained in section 71-42(a)(3) above for any relocations or new lines and facilities. Thereafter, not more frequently than every two years, upon request of the city, a grantee shall supply city with updated accurate as-built survey drawings detailing all equipment and facilities in the streets and rights-of-way of the city, including but not limited to the location and depth of all underground lines and the location of all overhead facilities.
