of data obtained by actual physical verification (through vacuum excavation or otherwise) to applicable engineering and/or surveying standards. iv) Data Management -Analyze and correlate all of the field-collected information with the collected record information for ensuring continuity of the information collected. Resolve conflicts with Level D, C and B information. The Engineer will correlate all information to the Project's monumentation. v) Plan Preparation -Prepare plan sheets (22"x 34") utilizing Microstation V8 format. The Engineer will reference the utilities by the type of utility, color coded to American Public Works Association standards, utility company or agency name, address, telephone number and contact person. vi) Provide Quality Service Level A -Locating (Test Hole) Services: Locate the accurate horizontal and vertical position of subsurface utilities by excavating a test hole using vacuum excavation techniques and equipment that is non- destructive to utilities. Locating (test hole) services, to include: 1) The provision of all equipment, personnel and supplies required to perform locating services. The Engineer will determine which equipment; personnel and supplies are required to perform such services; 2) The utilization of existing records and designated utilities at the site and the investigation of site conditions; 3) Excavation of test holes to expose the utility to be measured in such a manner that insures the safety of the excavation and the integrity of the utility to be measured. In performing such excavations, the Engineer will comply with applicable utility damage prevention laws and coordinate with utility inspectors, as required. The Engineer will perform excavations using specially developed vacuum excavation equipment that is non-destructive to existing facilities. If contaminated soils are discovered during the excavation process, the Engineer will notify the City; 4) Investigation, evaluation, measurement and recordation of the actual depth to top of utility referenced to a marker installed directly above the centerline of the exposed utility structure and the outside diameter of utility and configuration ofnon-encased, multi-conduit systems; 5) Provision and installation of markers directly above the centerline of utility structure and in each excavated test hole; 6) Backfill around the exposed facility using the excavated materials. Excavations will be backfilled and compacted in lifts. Compaction will comply with permit requirements; 7) Provision of permanent restoration of pavement within limits of original cut. When test holes are excavated in areas other than roadway pavement, these disturbed areas shall be restored as nearly as reasonably possible to the condition that existed prior to excavation; and 8) Evaluation and comparison of field information with utility information described in utility records and resolution of conflicts. b) Identify potential conflicts during preliminary design of drainage improvements, project reconstruction and water line improvements. 8
