0 !Overview
The City of Santa Clara's Electric Depmiment, Silicon Valley Power, (SVP) owns and maintains existing utility poles within the City limits. Other entities may wish to utilize these assets for their own communication networks. In order to maintain consistency, this document has been created with the purpose of setting standard construction and design practices that must be followed when attaching to SVP's assets.
California's Public Utilities Commission's General Order 95 shall be used as the basis for all pole attachment design. If any conflicts arise between this standard and G.O.95, the most stringent standard shall apply.
!Route Design
• Communication entities shall not attach to any pole directly supporting a SVP transmission line.
• When attaching to SVP utility poles, the communication lines may not bypass any pole following the same route as SVP' s pole lines.
• All Communication lines must maintain at least a 1 foot separation from any streetlight or traffic signal.
• Communication lines may not cross property lines, without the proper easements, or access approval from the property owner.
• Communication lines, or their support strands and overhead guys, may not pass over the center of traffic intersections.
• Street Crossings shall be as close to perpendicular to the street as possible.

0 I Cable Attachments
• Where no cross arms exist, all cable attachments shall be on the same side of the pole As shown in Figure 1.
• Any lines due to be over-lashed shall be checked for dead, or inactive, lines. Any dead, or inactive, conductors shall be removed.
• Cable replacements must be "delashed - relashed" to remove old cable. • Minimum vertical separation between communication lines on the same pole without a cross arm is 1 foot.

0 !Span Guys
• An Anchor must always be placed where guying is required at dead ends. Overhead guys may be used to transfer the tension from an area where an anchor may not be set to an area where setting an anchor is possible or to allow two spans to balance their loads out where joining the conductors or fiber is impractical. However, it is not permissible to use overhead guys in place of an anchor by using poles to balance the load out.
