§ 22-3-7 Removal of original pole, equipment and pole foundation.
(A) The City Engineer shall determine what City-owned equipment (e.g., original pole, mast arm, signal heads and luminaire, etc.) that is to be removed shall be retained by the City and such equipment shall be delivered to the City’s Public Works Yard by the wireless provider at no cost to the City.
(B) If the City elects to accept some, but not all, of the such equipment, then only that equipment shall be delivered by the wireless provider to the City’s Public Works Yard and the remaining equipment shall be disposed of by the wireless provider in an appropriate manner.
(C) The concrete pole foundation for the original streetlight or traffic signal pole shall be removed by the wireless provider in one of the manners described below as determined by the City Engineer:
(1) Partial Removal – The original pole foundation shall be taken back to a level that is 12 inches below existing grade and covered with four inches of one-half-inch to three-quarter-inch rock materials. The remaining top eight inches shall be native soil.
(2) Complete Removal – If the entire original pole foundation must be removed, then all materials (concrete, rebar, metals, bolts, etc.) shall be removed. The City Engineer, or his/her designee, shall determine, on a case-by-case basis, the type of backfill material and compaction required – ranging from compacted native soil to a half sack slurry for the entire depth, or a combination of native soil and slurry.
(D) The above requirements shall be applied to all new small wireless facilities in the City’s right-of-way, whether for the collocation of a small wireless facility on an existing or replacement streetlight pole, an existing or replacement traffic signal pole, an existing or replacement utility pole, or installation on a new utility pole.
