Utility Data" including, but not limited to, hydra - 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 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.
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.
