Epic Land Solutions, Inc. Proposal for City of Santa Ana — On -Call Right of Way Coordinator 2021, which stipulates that local agencies are required to send, and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is required to review, negotiation summaries for each surplus land transaction in the state. HCD is also required to notify local agencies of violations and may notify the Attorney General and assess fines, as necessary. Utility Research, Plans & Relocation EPIC has a dedicated Utility Services Department to research Utility Conflicts, perform Utility Design QA/QC, Determine Liability of utility relocation, and Certify the Utility Relocations with Caltrans District 12. All of EPIC's utility services are performed following the Caltrans LAPM process. EPIC's Utility Manager coordinates with the City, utility companies and applicable stakeholders for all work involved in identifying, protecting, removal and/or relocation of utility facilities necessary for the project. We identify all utility owners in the project area, conduct site verifications and confirm who has prior rights and determine if any of their utility facilities conflict with the project design. A utility matrix will be prepared identifying utility owners, descriptions of facilities, dispositions (i.e. protect, relocate, abandon) and initial liability determinations. If conflicts exist, we review project plans with the engineering design team to determine utility alternatives and meet early with utility owners to determine liability and identify which utilities will be moved to accommodate the proposed project. This is critical as determination of liability is becoming more of an issue in today's projects and can cause major delays or increase expense due the involvement of legal counsel. EPIC then provides coordination for the successful relocation of utility facilities identified as conflicts and Caltrans Certification.
