Before a ROW occupant or permittee shall commence to excavate in a roadway, street,
alley or other rights-of-way as defined in this chapter, such ROW occupant or permittee,
unless otherwise exempt by state statute, shall first notify all operators in the
City who are on file with the county clerk as to having underground facilities within
the county, pursuant to the Underground Facilities Damage Prevention Act, 63 O.S.1991,
§§ 142.1,
et seq.
, as supplemented; said notice shall be either directly or by notice to the statutory
"Okie" One-call notification center. Each ROW occupant served with notice in accordance
with 63 O.S.1991, § 142.6, shall locate and mark or otherwise provide the location
of the underground facilities of the operator in such a manner as to enable the excavator
to determine the precise location of the underground facilities in advance of excavation.
In any event, should the excavator in the course of excavation discover and damage
an unmarked utility, the City of Tulsa shall be indemnified from liability for any
damage that should occur due to the failure on the part of either the excavator or
the ROW occupant.
