The Utility Inspector regularly monitors locate requests placed through the Oregon Utility Notification Center (OUNC) to the Maintenance Planning office. The Utility Inspector periodically reviews OUNC information (usually at the beginning, middle and end of each day) for requests by other agencies for the location of City-owned underground facilities. This allows the Utility Inspector #o coordinate locate service as appropriate and provides a mechanism by which to monitor excavation work proposed within the public way. The Utility Inspector provides locate service for certain City-owned facilities. Locating services are provided in conformance with ORS and related Oregon Administrative Rules as adopted by the OUNC. Upon receipt of the 2 business day prior notice and before commencement of the work, the Utility Inspector shat! endeavor to locate those "locatable" City owned facilities within the proposed work area which are on record at the Engineering Division (i.e. sanitary sewer, storm sewer and certain City telecommunications). The centerline and, when exceeding two inches in width, the size of the facility should be marked. Where centerline marking is not practical, offset marking is acceptable. The City facilities located shall be temporarily marked using green paint for sewers and orange paint for City telecommunications. Where the use of paint is not practical, a written description of the facility upon wood stakes is acceptable. Once the Utility Inspector has marked the located city owned facilities, the excavator is responsible for taking reasonable steps to maintain these marks through the life of their project.
