Upon obtaining City permission, the following shall apply: <br />1. Use only those agency designated hydrants in strict accordance with City’s <br />requirements for hydrant use. Obtain a temporary hydrant permit from the <br />City’s Public Works Department Water Division. Temporary hydrant permits <br />are available for a $1,200.00 deposit by contacting the City of Everett’s Utility <br />Billing at 425-257-8999 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. <br />Deposit is refundable. Provide backflow prevention assembly approved by the <br />City. <br />2. Secure permission from and comply with all requirements of the City’s water <br />utility before obtaining water from the fire hydrants. Notify the Engineer of <br />City’s permission as soon as granted. <br />3. Use hydrant wrenches only to open hydrants. Make certain the hydrant valve <br />is fully open because “cracking” the hydrant valve causes damage to the <br />hydrant valve. Provide an approved auxiliary valve on the outlet line for <br />control purposes. Close fire hydrant valves slowly to avoid a surge in the <br />system that creates excess pressure on water lines. Carefully note the <br />importance of following these directions. <br />4. If Contractor’s employees use the wrong wrench to open a hydrant causing <br />damage the hydrant valve stem or operating nut or both, the Contractor shall <br />be responsible for costs associated with repairing the damaged hydrant valve <br />stem or operating nut or both. Immediately notify the City’s water utility so that <br />the damage can be repaired as quickly as possible. <br />5. Notify City water utility immediately upon completing the use of the hydrants <br />so the hydrants may be inspected for possible damage. City water utility will <br />repair damage resulting from the use of the hydrants by the Contractor. <br />Contractor shall be responsible for repair cost and cost, if necessary, shall be <br />withheld from the final payment to the Contractor. <br />6. City water utility will fine Contractor for violation of these requirements. <br />Contractor shall also be liable for damage suits resulting from malfunctioning <br />of Contractor damaged fire hydrants not being operational in the event of fire. <br />7. There will be no charge for the volume of water used. <br />2-07.4 Measurement <br />Revise 2-07.4 to read as follows: <br />Water will not be measured.
