Okaloosa County BOCC — September 2, 2014 — Task Order 11 — reading text

10. 11. 12. 13. 14. Emergency work location requests are given top priority. The responsible crew will mark the facilities as soon as it is practical to do so. The facilities will be marked with appropriate color-coded paint and flags (as per Chapter 556 of the Florida Statues). Utilities identified to be located in the SSOCOF ticket will be marked within the 24 inch tolerance zone. The utilities will be marked with paint and flags at no more than a 25-foot spacing, except when closer marking is needed (i.e. Tee, 45°, 90°, valves, etc.) or if the contractor requests a longer distance. Potable water and reclaim water services *%4” and 1” will be marked by line of sight unless they specifically supply a hair salon, doctor’s office or restaurant. These will need to be visually verified. Sewer services will be located by using as-built drawings unless as-built drawings are not available. If the drawings are not available, the SUE Crew will make every effort to locate them with the GPR unit. If they cannot be located using the GPR, contact the Okaloosa County sewer maintenance foreman (Harold Stanton). If the sewer maintenance foreman cannot be reached, contact the Utility Technician Il (Joe Rushing). Document on your ticket (on the second line) that you requested assistance from the sewer maintenance crew and to whom you talked. If both of the above mentioned are unavailable, call Danny Shiver. Sewer mains (Gravity Flow) will be marked by line of sight using manholes and marked with flags and paint. Water mains, force mains and reclaim water mains will be verified at the start, the middle and the end of the boundary of the locate ticket. In general, the SUE Crew should verify the location of the utility at approximately 500-foot intervals. However, the SUE Crews will use their discretion to determine the frequency and location for utility verification. At areas where the SUE Crew can not reasonably verify the location of the utility using the normal verification frequency or the standard verification equipment provided in each SUE Crew should contact the SUE Supervisor to evaluate the need to perform vacuum excavation to verify the location of the utility or to increase the frequency of the verifications. Standard verification equipment (probes and post-hole diggers) shall not be used to verify the location of known utilities in congested areas with gas, communication, or power utilities, transited water lines, or 2-inch diameter PVC pipes. Critical areas include sewer force mains, major intersections, supply lines to Okaloosa Island, problem excavators, etc. At these areas the SUE Crew shail take pictures for the record. Non-permanent paint is to be used on lawns. Permanent paint is to be used on asphalt. Do not spray paint on cement or decorative stone driveways. SUE Crews shail carry all trash and empty paint cans to the office for disposal. All completed tickets will be properly coded per the Positive Response Codes attached hereto. Color Codes and Abbreviated Markings: Water — Blue | W — Water WV - Water Valve Sewer — Green S — Sewer SV — Sewer Valve Reclaim — Purple RC — Reclaim RV — Reclaim Valve Standard Working Hours: 1. 2. Footnote: Normal working hours are from 7:00 a.m. — 4:00 p.m. The crew's place of business is your area of operation unless otherwise notified by your supervisor. If you have no assigned tickets for your service area, call your supervisor within a reasonable length of time to receive further guidance. The crews might have to work overtime as needed; however, all overtime must be approved through your supervisor. Crews will have a one-hour lunch period, which will be taken at the crew's discretion. If you have outstanding tickets within your service area and you are not within 10 minutes of the office, take your lunch in the field, or complete the assigned ticket and then take lunch. The task of locating Okaloosa County Water and Sewer utilities is extremely important. You are protecting Okaloosa County Water and Sewer Department's assets, as well as the health of the public and the environment. This is why we must use all resources that are now available to locate our utilities in an accurate and timely manner. The crews are a team- a very important team that must work together to get this important job done. \ Jeane 6, Crews
