Conflict Checks Performed • Initial Completed With 2. 5 D Process • Final Completed With 3 D Process 2. SUE Potholes Determined & Performed 3. SUE Data Analyzed 4. Conflict Resolution Proposed 5. Cross Check & Issuance of Design Mitigation for Conflict

THE PROCESS Conflict Check Performed On (60%) Corridor (2. 5 D Process) ▪ Initial

THE PROCESS Conflict Check Performed On (60%) Corridor (2. 5 D Process) ▪ Initial Round Of Utility Conflict Locations Throughout The Corridor Was Completed On 60% Initial Corridor Design By The Design Teams ▪ Process Of Identifying Conflicts @ This Stage Was Performed Predominantly By Identifying 2 D Crossing Conflicts

THE PROCESS SUE Potholes Completed &▪ SUE Analysis Performed Pothole Data Provided To Design

THE PROCESS SUE Potholes Completed &▪ SUE Analysis Performed Pothole Data Provided To Design Engineers As KMZ Mapping With SUE Data Attributes Attached This Was vs. Traditional Paper Reports ▪ 3 D CAD Reference File Were Created For A 2 D/3 D Reference Of Pothole Locations Attribute Data

THE PROCESS SUE Data Analysis Workup And Conflict Details Logged ▪ If The Pothole Results Indicate That The Required Clearances Will Be Provided- Not Further Action Was Required Click C 202 P Logo To Play Embedded Video ▪ If The Pothole Results Indicated That The Required Clearance Can Not Be Achieved- The Conflict Was Assigned An ID, Location Was Logged And Conflict Details And Information Was Tracked

THE PROCESS Conflict Resolution… Now We Have To Resolve Them ▪ Conflicts Were Presented

THE PROCESS Conflict Resolution… Now We Have To Resolve Them ▪ Conflicts Were Presented Weekly To All Stakeholders During The Dreaded Weekly Conflict Resolution Meetings ▪ These Meetings Allowed For All Project Stakeholders To In One Room To Make Decisions Regarding The Resolution Of Subsurface Clearance Issues And Allowed For Resolution Concepts To Be Vetted Quickly For Feasibility

THE PROCESS Conflict Resolution…▪ Resolutions The Follow Up To All Utility Conflicts Were Agreed

THE PROCESS Conflict Resolution…▪ Resolutions The Follow Up To All Utility Conflicts Were Agreed Upon By All Project Stakeholders Prior To Being Finalized ▪ Outcome 1 - ADOT Corridor Design Changes Occurred To Mitigate/Eliminate The Conflict With The Utility ▪ Outcome 2 - A Utility Reroute Was Required ▪ If A Utility Retoute Was Required To Mitigate The Conflict, All Necessary ADOT Corridor Design CAD Files Were Presented To The Utility Company (In Their Desired Format) And A Running Line Of The Relocation Was Suggested

THE PROCESS Conflict Resolution… Final Steps ▪ Proposed Utility Conflict Resolution Design Plans Were
