underground utility locating services provided by the City. The Utility Locator shall maintain accurate records of the locate requests received each month, locates performed, and number of each facility type located. In addition to the Utility Locator, other City staffincluding, but not limited to the Inspector may also provide utility locate services. Other staff who provide locate services shall provide the necessary information and data to the Utility Locator for the purpose of maintaining complete, accurate data. The Utility Locatorregularlymonitors locate requests placed through the Oregon UtilityNotification Center (OUNC) to the Maintenance Division. The Utility Locator periodically reviews the OUNC information (usually at the beginning, middle, and end of each day) for requests by other agencies for the location ofCity-owned underground facilities. This allows the Utility Locator to coordinate locate service as appropriate and provides a mechanism for monitoring excavation work proposed within the public way. The Utility Locator provides locate service for certain City-owned facilities. Locating services are provided in conformance with Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) and related Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) as adopted by the OUNC in the Standards Manual. Upon receipt of the 2 business day prior notice and before commencement of the work, the Utility Locator shall endeavor to locate those "locatable" City owned facilities within the proposed work area which are on record (i. e., wastewater collection system, stormwater drainage system, street light facilities, and traffic signal facilities). 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 orproviding as-constructed drawings may be acceptable. In accordance with the adopted color code, the located City facilities shall be temporarily marked using green paint for wastewater and stormwater lines, and orange paint for street light and traffic signal facilities. Where the use of paint is not practical, a written description of the facility upon wood stakes or providing as-constructed drawings may be acceptable. Once the Utility Locator 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. 1.E.2 Locate Coordination.

Locate requests that may impact facilities maintained by the Parks and Open Space Division are forwarded to appropriate staff in that division (e.g., irrigation systems).
