RE: Privilege in the Right Of Way Narrative
Oshkosh Area School District (District) has recently purchased a property located at the Intersection of
Waugoo Street and Court Street. The District intends on connecting this building to their'existing Fiber
Optic Cable Network via a fiber optic cable inside a 2" HDPE duct placed within the City of Oshkosh Right
of Way and along an existing aerial and underground path down Court Street, Madison Street, Merritt
Ave, Church Ave, and Wisconsin Street. Please see the attached map for route details.
All planned routes have been shared with the City Department of Public Works. The final route has
taken into consideration any input from the Department regarding existing utilities, planned activities in
the area, and future adjustments to streets, sidewalks, and other City Owned utilities.
The construction method used to place the underground duct and fiber optic cable within the City's
Right of Way will be Directional Bore. This method creates minimal noise and vibration levels that do
not exceed the limits established in the municipal code. The benefit to the Directional Bore method is
that it minimizes the amount of surface excavation necessary for installation. Operation of this
equipment would be limited to normal working hours of 7:00 AM to S:OOPM and will take into
consideration any hours of work restrictions placed by the City. At no time would the construction
activities extend outside the boundaries of the City ROW or County -owned properties.
Given the schedule for moving in to this facility it is expected that the work will be completed by April of
2011.
Any questions regarding this proposed project can be directed to the District's hired engineering firm
Multimedia Communications & Engineering Contact Person Dan Becker 920- 676 -3496 or
