APPROVE THE FIRE HYDRANT MARKER PROGRAM AND SYSTEM OF MARKING AS
OUTLINED IN CITY STANDARD 4GS-12 DATED OCTOBER 15, 1980.
ITEM EXPLANATION
THE PURPOSE OF FIRE HYDRANT MARKERS IS TO IDENTIFY THE EXACT LOCATION
OF THE HYDRANT FOR THE FIREFIGHTERS. THEY ARE SET OFF THE CENTER LINE
TO INDICATE WHICH SIDE OF THE STREET THE HYDRANT IS ON. THE MARKERS
ARE COMMON IN CALIFORNIA, AND ARE USED BY THE NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES.
IN 1980 STANDARDS WERE WRITTEN FOR THE INSTALLATION OF FIRE HYDRANT
MARKERS. UNTIL VERY RECENTLY MARKERS WERE INSTALLED ONLY AT NEW AND
RELOCATED FIRE HYDRANT LOCATIONS AND RE -SURFACING PROJECTS. BECAUSE
OF THE PROVEN VALUE OF THESE MARKERS WE RECENTLY STARTED INSTALLING
AT ALI, FIRE HYDRANT LOCATIONS.
SEVERAL OF THE RECENTLY INSTALLED FIRE HYDRANT MARKERS DO NOT CON-
FORM TO THE STANDARD. IHOSE THAT ARE EXTREMELY OFF WILL BE RESET.
WE ESTIMATE THAT APPROXIMATELY 50 MARKERS NEED TO BE RESET.
THE STANDARD CALLS FOR MARKERS TO BE INSTALLED 2" FROM THE LANE LINES.
WHERE STREETS ARE WITHOUT LANE LINES AND STREETS HAVE RAISED MARKERS
AND NO PAINTED LINES, BLUE MARKERS ARE TO 'BE INSTALLED ON CENTER LINE
OR IN LINE WITH EXISTING MARKERS.
THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 1800 FIRE HYDRANTS IN THE CITY. WE HAVE
INSTALLED 360 MARKERS TO DATE.
FISCAL IMPACT
PROGRAM COSTS: $4,770.00 Plus Installation. (Markers Cost $2.65 ea)
w
OThe markers have already been purchased and are being installed by
= water department crews on a time available basis.
