Upon <br />obtaining City permission, the following shall apply: <br />1. Use only those agency designated hydrants in strict accordance with City’s requirements <br />for hydrant use. Obtain a temporary hydrant permit from the City’s Public Works Department <br />Water Division. Temporary hydrant permits are available for a $1,200.00 deposit by contacting <br />the City of Everett’s Utility Billing at 425-257-8999 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through <br />Friday. Deposit is refundable. Provide backflow prevention assembly approved by the City. <br />2. Secure permission from and comply with all requirements of the City’s water utility <br />before obtaining water from the fire hydrants. Notify the Engineer of City’s permission as soon <br />as granted. <br />3. Use hydrant wrenches only to open hydrants. Make certain the hydrant valve is fully <br />open because "cracking" the hydrant valve causes damage to the hydrant valve. Provide an <br />approved auxiliary valve on the outlet line for control purposes. Close fire hydrant valves slowly <br />to avoid a surge in the 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 damage the <br />hydrant valve stem or operating nut or both, the Contractor shall be responsible for costs <br />associated with repairing the damaged hydrant valve stem or operating nut or both. <br />Immediately notify the City’s water utility so that the damage can be repaired as quickly as <br />possible. <br />5. Notify City water utility immediately upon completing the use of the hydrants so the <br />hydrants may be inspected for possible damage. City water utility will repair damage resulting <br />from the use of the hydrants by the Contractor. Contractor shall be responsible for repair cost <br />and cost, if necessary, shall be withheld from the final payment to the Contractor. <br />6. City water utility will fine Contractor for violation of these requirements. Contractor shall <br />also be liable for damage suits resulting from malfunctioning of Contractor damaged fire <br />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. <br />2-07.5 Payment <br />Revise 2-07.5 to read as follows:
