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 (irrigation conduit, power conduit, etc.). Locate requests that may <br />impact facilities maintained by the Wastewater Division are forwarded to appropriate staff <br />in that Division (wastewater pump stations, force mains, etc.). Locate requests that may <br />impact facilities maintained by the Airport Division are forwarded to appropriate staff in that <br />Division (excavations within or adjacent to airport property). <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 loca#e <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 person- <br />nel <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 mainte- <br />nance work to be performed by the different City of Eugene Public Works Divisions shall <br />be treated in a manner similar to those locates performed for agencies or individuals <br />issued. aright-of--way permit, with the following .exception.
