The Utility Adjustment Schedule is a series of forms that asks about your plans regarding other active projects in the area where you need a permit. GUPS uses the mile points and the route you entered to look up current projects for you and display them. If there are current projects underway, your plans will need to demonstrate that you have taken them into account through the UAS.
When highway construction is underway, it is your responsibility for making the new utility installation that is compatible with project construction. Written approval of such schedule by the highway contractor shall be furnished to the Department's engineer having jurisdiction over the project prior to beginning work. Upon request the Department will assist in resolving any disputes over work schedules or in arranging for emergency access to utility facilities within an active project.
If there are no current projects, the UAS section of forms does not apply, so click the checkbox "Adjustment Schedule Form not applicable at this time" and click Continue to skip it.. (See image below.)
