Subsidiary conduits are conduits which connect an ECS manhole to any
location other than another ECS manhole, e.g., to a building, payphone
or crossbox pedestal, etc. Tenants are responsible for the construction
and maintenance of their own subsidiary conduits.
The tenant shall build subsidiary conduits to the nearest ECS manhole
to the building or other point at which the tenant intends to provide
service, or if the nearest manhole cannot accommodate the tenant's subsidiary
conduit , then to the next nearest ECS manhole. Unless otherwise authorized
or denied permission by the City of New York Department of Transportation, no subsidiary
conduit shall exceed the length of the city block on which such subsidiary
conduit it being built. Every time the tenant builds a subsidiary conduit,
the tenant shall comply with the requirements and procedures set forth
in the Point
of Entry Procedures.
Tenants are responsible for complying with all laws, rules and regulations
attendant with ownership and operation of subsidiary conduits. One such
regulation is 16 NYCRR SEC. 753 (Code 753) which requires owners/operators
of underground facilities to mark the location of their facilities in
response to excavators' calls to the New York "One Call" Center at (800)
272-4480. It is the requirement of the tenant to mark out the subsidiaries
they own. ECS shall mark all mainline conduits.
