The Utility Inspector regularly monitors locate requests <br />placed through the Oregon Utility Notification Center (OUNC) to the Maintenance Planning <br />office. The Utility Inspector periodically reviews OUNC information (usually at the <br />beginning, middle and end of. each. day) for requests by other agencies for the location of <br />City-owned underground facilities. This allows the Utility Inspector #o coordinate locate <br />service as appropriate and provides a mechanism by which to monitor excavation work <br />proposed within the public way. <br />The Utility Inspector provides locate service for certain.City-owned facilities. Locating <br />services are provided in conformance with ORS and related Oregon Administrative Rules <br />as adopted by the OUNC. Upon receip# of the 2 business day prior notice and before <br />commencemen# of the work, the Utility Inspector shall endeavor to locate those "locatable" <br />City owned facilities within the proposed work area which are on record at the Engineering <br />Division (i.e_ sanitary sewer, storm sewer and certain City telecommunications). The <br />centerline and, when exceeding two inches in width, the size of the facility should be <br />marked. Where centerline marking is not practical, offset marking is acceptable. <br />The City facilities located shall be temporarily marked using green paint 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 lnspector 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 />Utility & R/W Permit Policy 4 06/01/97 <br />
