The City of Eugene attempts to regularly monitor incoming locate <br />requests; however, full-time monitoring is not currently practiced. During normal business hours, <br />emergency locate requests for City facilities made through the OUNC are received and dispatched <br />through the Maintenance Division. The notification center typically calls the City to ensure that <br />emergency locate requests have been received. Between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., <br />emergency locate requests are forwarded to the Utility Locator. Emergency locate requests received <br />outside this time period are placed through the OUNC who then notifythe City's after-hours dispatch <br />by telephone at 682-5111. Response to after-hours emergency locate requests is coordinated by the <br />Maintenance Division's on-call supervisor. Emergency requests for locates involving facilities <br />located by other work units will be forwarded to the appropriate personnel. <br />1.E.4 Internal Public Works Locate Requests For Maintenance Activities. <br />Locate requests placed with the Utility Notification Center for the various types of maintenance <br />work to be performed by City of Eugene Public Works staff shall be treated in a manner similar to <br />those locates performed for agencies or individuals issued aright-of-way permit, with the following <br />exception: Because the research has already been completed, Maintenance Division personnel do <br />not research the existing underground facilities.
