Austin Utility Location and Coordination Committee

The AULCC is a group of utility stakeholders. Per Ordinance 14-11-165, this group meets regularly in order to identify right-of-way utility conflicts before construction begins. Coordination efforts include construction phasing, sharing of work zones, and finding opportunities for joint trenching.

 

What is the AULCC? Why is it important?

The AULCC meets weekly and is attended by representatives from the City, utilities, and private projects. Proper coordination saves your project time and money. It also minimizes impacts on infrastructure and the transportation system.

 

Who needs to attend the AULCC meeting?

AULCC meeting attendance is required if a project meets one of the following conditions:

  • If the excavated area is 300 feet or greater
  • If an excavated area will be 25 feet or greater AND lies within the Downtown Austin Project Coordination Zone (DAPCZ)
  • If the work will impact the right-of-way AND is affiliated with a License Agreement
  • If the work and/or site development will require a tower crane

Does my Completeness Letter expire?

Initial Completeness Letters are valid for 6 months if the project falls within the DAPCZ, or 1 year if it falls outside the DAPCZ. If the Completeness Letter expires, then a recertification will be necessary. The recertification will be valid for 6 months for projects within and outside the DAPCZ.
