Various Subsurface Utility Engineering Projects, Various Routes, Various Counties, Region Five/District Eight

These services include providing the District with existing utility location information in written documents and electronic CADD files for the various projects assigned. This information shall be obtained by researching all utility companies’ records which have facilities in the area and by performing actual field surveys to verify and map, at the appropriate quality level, all existing utilities on the assigned project. Field surveys are to be performed to horizontally locate above ground utility features, including but not limited to poles, manholes, valve boxes, meters, utility designation markings, etc. The Consultant shall also determine the existence and approximate horizontal position of underground utilities through the application of appropriate surface geophysical methods (QL-B data). The exact horizontal and vertical locations of underground utilities shall also be determined by physically locating them (exposing and surveying) at designated spots with the use of special boring/excavating equipment insured not to damage existing utilities (QL-A data).
