Originating from the 2010 Annual Michigan Utility Coordination Conference, MITA worked through the “Utility Subgroup” (which includes designers, owner agencies, contractors, and utility companies) to develop the “Utility Coordination Checklist”. This checklist, adopted by the “Utility Subgroup”, and the first of its kind in the state of Michigan, will provide valuable guidance to designers and owner agencies regarding the various aspects of utility coordination from project conception through construction.
MITA played a key role in the development of the checklist and advocated that proper utility coordination at the beginning of a project could eliminate many of the cost and time impacts that both owners and contractors experience when undisclosed utilities are encountered during construction.
This “Utility Coordination Checklist” has been distributed to various municipalities, counties, design firms, and MDOT offices.
