con ed to run a new line

After identifying a "bad lead" as the source of electrical issues in our 2 family brownstone on a landmarked block, Con Ed has decided to run new service to our building as they could not snake a new line from the street nor could they do so originating from the house to the street.
I anticipate this will mean excavation. Anyone have experience with this scenario? I am worried about the Bluestone sidewalk and what kind of track record the utility has with landmarked blocks and what rights I may have in dictating the scope and manner of excavation.

they drill it under the street to my building. but its always best to ask the crews what they are going to do.
