Any applicant for a franchise may propose in its application line extension provisions
which are more liberal than prescribed by section 90-239, above. In the event of any inconsistency between the line extension provisions prescribed
by section 90-239, above, and the express terms in other franchise documents, the provisions in the
other franchise documents shall prevail if the issuing authority has found that the
provisions in the other franchise documents will better serve the needs of the public
and promote the public interest.
An applicant who chooses not to make a more liberal proposal for line extension shall
not be disqualified from bidding or consideration in selection of the franchisee.
It is expressly declared that the factors upon which selection will be based are so
numerous and subjective as to make it impossible to know in advance the relative importance
of a determination by an applicant to either make or not to make such a proposal in
relation to other factors upon which award of a franchise will be based.
