a) Provide subsurface utility engineering in accordance with ASCE Standard "ASCE C-
I, 38 -02, Standard Guideline for the Collection and Depiction of Existing Subsurface
Utility Data" including, but not limited to, hydro- excavation. The proposed subsurface
utility investigation will be as follows:
i) 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 limit. (Quality Level A involves the use of
nondestructive digging equipment at critical points to determine the
horizontal and vertical position 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.
ii) 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 a One -Call Notice and measuring the marked locations.
iii) Storm Water— Storm waterfacilities 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.
iv) 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. Wastewater lines that are not to be
replaced as part of this project and that fall within the footprint of
construction- related excavation shall be located at Quality Level A.
v) Water — Water facilities within the project limits will be located to Quality
Level C.
vi) Gas — Gas facilities within the project limits will be located to Quality Level C
by the AIE. The City of Corpus Christi Gas Department will provide Quality
Level A. The AIE will coordinate this activity.
b) Inform local franchises whose utilities fall within the footprint of construction - related
excavation of the potential for encountering their utility lines during construction.
7. Construction Observation Services. To Be Determined
8. Start -up Services. Provide on -site services and verification for all start -up procedures
during actual start-up of major Project components, systems, and related appurtenances if
needed and required.
9. Warranty Phase. Provide a maintenance guaranty inspection toward the end of the one -
year period after acceptance of the Project. Note defects requiring contractor action to
maintain, repair, fix, restore, patch, or replace improvement under the maintenance guaranty
terms of the contract. Document the condition and prepare a report for the City staff of the
locations and conditions requiring action, with its recommendation for the method or action
to best correct defective conditions and submit to City Staff. Complete the inspection and
