The City of Bayou Vista will provide this document to all the established line providers and vehicle operators of record that have been operating in Bayou Vista, for Notice of terms they will accept if they want to continue to operate in the City. Also, a public notice will be published in the local news agencies and the website(s) (B.V. message Board, Facebook and or other social media providers/source) where the maximum number of public and private entities, to establish that all required will be considered effectively notified.
Scope of project is to utilize the already in existence of the BVPD nightly sweep of the roads in Bayou Vista. And additionally, the erection at each vehicular entrance of a portal outfitted with height bar, video camera and public notice signage.

2. That height bar is also the minimum less 6 inches (i.e., 14’5’) at which any overhead line can droop in Bayou Vista.
3. any vehicle with a potential of erecting an appendage or acquiring a load that can ascend the 14’ restriction is required to be out fitted with a static pole of 14’ that the operator will attach to the vehicle and ascertained as no portion of the vehicle or load ascended above 14’ before the vehicle is moved.
4.

In event of line droop below 14’6”it is the negligence of the line provider and the result of an unforeseen occurrence. The fact that BVPD did or did not observe or document and report in a timely manner will not create a liability for B.V.
