Sec. 714.302. - Definitions.

Where capitalized and used in this Part 3, unless otherwise defined in Part 1, above, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (a) Eligible Neighborhood means a neighborhood, as defined in Part 1, with overhead power and communication systems in place, that has qualified for the underground power and communication improvements through the procedures set forth in this Chapter. (b) Underground Power and Communication Improvements means the conversion to safe and sustainable underground facilities sufficient to carry power, phone, cable and other like communication systems, as well as equipment and infrastructure including but not limited to streetlights, easements, secondary electric lines in the public right-of-way, service riser poles, padmounted transformers, switch cabinets, electric and communications conduit, manhole/handholds, and other appurtenances as specified by the power, cable and telephone companies related thereto. (c) NAP Estimate means the final estimate including all anticipated costs to plan, design and construct, and finance Improvements to convert overhead utility neighborhood distribution lines to underground within a Neighborhood. The NAP Estimate shall be based on actual conditions within the specified NAP area and based on actual JEA contract unit pricing or recent costs for similar work. The NAP Estimate shall include separate estimates from other utilities such as cable television or telephone service, where applicable. Other utilities in the City right-of-way attached to overhead poles, whether such poles are owned by JEA or another utility, are required to provide estimates for a possible conversion Improvement as requested in writing by JEA on behalf of an Eligible Neighborhood within 60 days of such request. As described above, the NAP Estimate shall include the overall costs to convert the overhead lines within the public right-of-way, and may also include the conversion of any 3 phase customer owned equipment to single phase equipment based on cost analyses. The NAP Estimate shall assume that all necessary easements, or other real property interests, required for placement of equipment will be granted by the participants in the NAP, or other applicable property owners, to JEA or the other utilities at no cost. In the event equipment easements, or other real property interests, are required to be purchased, the Eligible Neighborhood must elect to either approve the costs or to abandon the Improvements by the same percentage as used in determining assent for this Program Area. The JEA's NAP Estimate shall be reviewed by the City's Department of Public Works for evaluation of impacts to the City's rights-of-way, and shall be reviewed by the Council Auditor for comment on completeness. (d) Street Lighting means street lighting approved by the City of Jacksonville's Traffic Engineering Division within the existing approved street light standard selection for the City of Jacksonville for residential areas. No street lighting will be allowed that is not approved by City Traffic Engineering, or is non-standard to JEA's approved standards. The project cost estimate will reflect the street lighting standard choices of the neighborhood with required approval of City Traffic Engineering. Enhanced street lighting adds costs to the conversion project that will be included in the overall project cost. (Ord. 2007-558-E, § 1; Ord. 2019-321-E , § 2)
