PURPOSE:
UNC-G has requested an encroachment agreement to use City right-of-way at the 600 block of S. Aycock Street. When public or private entities request to use the City's right-of-way, it is required that they secure approval by City Council.
BACKGROUND:
UNC-G approached the City to install 54 linear feet of fiber optic lines beneath S. Aycock Street to provide connectivity between existing installations at 605 S. Aycock Street and 1204 Oakland Ave. This connection will extend UNC-G's network service to the building at 1605 Spring Garden Street which will temporarily house their Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program until construction of the downtown Union Square Campus is complete.
The City allows and supports the installation of bored underground fiber optic connectivity in the City right-of-way for UNC-G communication needs.
This encroachment has been reviewed and approved by Engineering & Inspections, Transportation, Water Resources, and Legal.
BUDGET IMPACT:
All expenses related to the installation, maintenance, and repair for this encroachment are the responsibility of UNC-G.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
Engineering & Inspections recommends the approval of the encroachment which will allow UNC-G to use City right-of-way.
