The class specification developed for this positio is attached. FACTORING ANALYSIS. The standard factoring system developed by the U.S. Civil Service Commission, using twelve categories of criteria for measuring internal allocation, was applied to this position. Pay Range 14.5 is indicated for the position. SIMILAR CITY CLASSIFICATIONS The position of Utilities Locator will be unique within the City of Yakima The position has most in common with the Sewer Maintenance Specialist II (pay range 15.0) and the Water Distribution Crew Leader (pay range 14 5) Both of these positions function under limited supervision, work independently, exercise independent judgment, and carryout detailed assignments generated through the AIMMS work order and cost accounting system The Utility Locator will exercise similar responsibilities in a similar work setting In addition to numerous other duties the Sewer Maintenance Specialist and the Water Distribution Crete leader may be responsible for locating and marking various types of distribution main lines, transmission main lines, service connections, reading various water, wastewater and irrigation system maps to determine location of pipes, valves, drainage covers, and services and other systems component locations. It is expected that these two positions would continue to perform these duties in the absence of the Utilities Locator or when the work load is excessive AV.AILABILITY The aN ailability of skilled individuals to fill this position is not an issue The applicant pool for Utilities Locator may come as a lateral transfer or promotion from within the Water and Wastewater divisions, or "new hire" from other cities throughout the region. PREVAILING RATES (Local). Utility Locators are not commonly employed by private businesses either locally or state wide Instead, Utilities such as Electric, Telephone, and Natural Gas Comparues contract utility locate services with private companies We requested salary information from a private Locating Company Their salaries appear to be considerably lower (30 -40 %) than the proposed Yakima salary therefore, it was not included for comparison purposes This may be due to Company overhead requirements including extensive insurance amounts which they must carry to cover damage claims The proposed Utility Locator class specifications also require skills and performance of duties beyond those found in the private sector comparison. A service bid was requested from that company based upon the 4,000 locate requests which Yakima received in 1995 Based on those utility locate amounts, the company would need approximately 1.5 persons to perform the locates at a cost of $20,00 per locate or 580,000 annualized cost. That bid is enclosed for your review as Attachment "A Ltihn Locator Page 2 • 'revai1ing Rates (Similar Jurisdictions):, Municipalities that the City uses for standard comparisons were contacted. Those agencies include Walla Walla, Wenatchee, Everett, Richland, Vancouver, Olympia, Bellingham, Kennewick, Bremerton, Renton, Kirkland, Kent, Redmond, Auburn, Longview, and Edmonds Because many communities contract dig locate services with a private company, most of the jurisdictions contacted did not have positions that were close matches to the Utility Locator position.

It is my recommendation that the Utilities Locator position be allocated to pay range 14 5 ($2,320 89 - $2775 01 per month) • L t Ii Locate Page CITY OF YAKIMA CLASS SPECIFICATION PROPOSED • CODE: 8750 TITLE: UTILITIES LOCATOR Established 3/96 1 DEFINITION: Working under the Water/Irrigation Manager with limited supervision, is responsible for locating various City utilities including water distribution and transmission mains, valves, service connections, wastewater /sewer transmission and collection lines, irrigation mains and service lines, storm and drainage transmission and collection lines, other City utility system appurtenances, inspects and performs related work as assigned.
