marked. Where centerline marking is not practical, offset marking is acceptable. <br /> --v <br /> The City facilities located shall be temporarily marked using green pain# for sewers and <br /> orange paint for City telecommunications. Where the use of paint is not practical, a written <br /> description of the facility upon wood stakes is acceptable. Once the Utility Inspector has <br /> marked the located city owned facilities, the excavator is responsible for taking reasonable <br /> steps to maintain these marks through the life of their project. <br /> Several other City work units respond to certain utility locate requests. Due to the <br /> specialized locating equipment needed, Public Works Transportation Division provides <br /> personnel to respond to locate requests for its facilities. When requested by the Utility <br /> inspector, the Parks Maintenance Section provides personnel to respond to locate <br /> requests for its facilities (e.g., irrigation systems). Locate requests that may impact <br /> facilities maintained by the Wastewater Division are forwarded to appropriate staff in that <br /> Division (wastewater pump stations, force mains, etc.). Locate requests that may impact <br /> facilities maintained by the Airport Division are forwarded to appropriate staff in that <br /> Division (excavations within or adjacent to airport property). Locate requests that may <br /> impact facilities maintained by the Facilities Division are forwarded to appropriate s#aff in <br /> that Division (e.g., power conduits in parks, excavations adjacent to City-owned buildings). <br /> 1.E.1 Requests for Emergency Locates <br /> An emergency locate should not be requested unless it involves emergency repairs <br /> immediately required to an existing facility within the public way. The City of Eugene <br /> attempts to regularly monitor incoming locate requests; however, full-time monitoring is not <br /> practical. During normal business hours, emergency locate requests for City facilities <br /> made through the OUNC are received and dispatched through the Maintenance Planning <br /> office. The notification center typically calls the City to ensure that emergency locate <br /> requests have been .received. Between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., emergency <br /> locate requests are forwarded to the Utility Inspector. Locates needed outside this time <br /> period may be placed through the OUNC who then must notify the City's after-hours <br /> dispatch by telephone at 682-5111. Response to after-hours emergency locate requests <br /> is coordinated by the Maintenance on-call supervisor. Emergency requests for locates <br /> involving facilities located by other work units will be forwarded to the appropriate <br /> personnel. <br /> 1.E.2 Internal Public Works Locate Requests For Maintenance Activities <br /> Locate requests placed with the Utility Notification Center for the various types of <br /> maintenance work to be performed by the different City of Eugene Public Works Divisions <br /> shall be treated in a manner similar to those locates performed for agencies or individuals <br /> issued aright-of-way permit, with the following exception. Because no permit is required, <br /> Engineering Division personnel do not research the existing underground facilities. Upon <br /> <br /> specific request, the Utility Inspector will research and field-locate all wastewater and <br /> <br /> stormwater facilities for maintenance work to be performed by Maintenance and _ <br /> <br /> Transportation Division crews. <br /> Utility & R/W Permit Policy 5 12/01!97 <br /> <br />
