Standard "ASCE C-I, 38-02, Standard Guideline for the Collection and Depiction of
Existing Subsurface Utility Data". The proposed subsurface utility investigation will be
as follows:
A. Excavation -The survey scope includes working with a subsurface utility
excavator to perform Quality Level A investigation of underground utilities in
specified areas through the project limits. (Quality Level A involves the use of
nondestructive digging equipment at critical points to determine the horizontal
and vertical positions of underground utilities, as well as the type, size,
condition, material, and other characteristics.) Utilities located at this quality
level will be physically located and tied to the topographic survey control. The
utility will be identified and an elevation will be obtained to the top of the utility.

EXHIBIT "A"
Pa e10of14
B. Utility Location -The survey scope includes locating certain utilities to Quality
Level B. (Quality Level B involves, surveying visible above ground utility
facilities, such as manholes, valve boxes, posts, etc., and correlating this
information with existing utility records.) These utilities will be located by
obtaining aOne-Call Notice and measuring the marked locations.
C. Storm Water -Storm water facilities within the project limits will be located to
Quality Level C. Locations will be based on the surveyed locations of
accessible storm water manholes and drainage inlets.
D. Wastewater -Wastewater facilities within the project limits will be located to
Quality Level C. Locations will be based on the surveyed locations of
accessible wastewater manholes.
E. Water-Water facilities within the project limits will be located to Quality Level C.
F. Gas -Gas facilities within the project limits will be located to Quality Level C by
the A/E. The City of Corpus Christi Gas Department will provide Quality Level
A. The A/E will coordinate this activity.
G. Coordinate with local franchises to achieve Quality Level A.
10. Provide the services above authorized in addition to those items shown on Exhibit A-1,
