Analysis

This ordinance adjusts bridge conduit occupancy fees to reflect the actual costs of installation and maintenance incurred by the city.  The ordinance adjusts the rates as follows:

1.                     From $45 to $15 per foot per year for sub-duct occupancy of up to one-third of a conduit duct for the first 200 feet, then $7.50 per foot per year for the next 300 feet, then $2 per foot per year for any additional space.  There shall continue to be a base fee of $7,500.

2.                     From $90 to $20 per foot per year for sub-duct occupancy of more than one-third but less than two-thirds of a conduit duct for the first 200 feet, then $10 per foot per year for the next 300 feet, then $2.50 per foot per year for any additional space.  There shall continue to be a base fee of $15,000.

3.                     From $105 to $25 per foot per year for sub-duct occupancy of two-thirds or more of a conduit duct for the first 200 feet, then $12.50 per foot per year for the next 300 feet, then $3 per foot per year for any additional space.  There shall continue to be a base fee of $17,500.
