EXHIBIT"A"
Page 7 of 11
Revised November 26,2013
horizontal and vertical position of underground utilities, as well as the type,

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 A.
