Common use of Utility Base Map Clause in Contracts

Utility Base Map. 1. Utility Engineering Investigation (currently Subsurface Utility Engineering) shall include utility investigations subsurface and above ground prepared in accordance with AASHTO standards [ASCE C-1 38-02 (▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇/programadmin/asce.cfm)] and Utility Quality Levels defined in cumulative order as follows: a. Quality Level D - Existing Records: Utilities are plotted from review of available existing records. b. Quality Level C - Surface Visible Feature Survey: Quality Level D information from existing records is correlated with surveyed surface-visible features. Includes Quality Level D information. If there are variances in the designated work area of Level D then a new schematic or plan layout, if needed, is required showing the limits of the proposed project and limits of the work area required for this work authorization; including highway stations, limits within existing or proposed right of way, additional areas outside the proposed right of way, and distances or areas to be included down existing intersecting roadways. c. Quality Level B - – Designate: Two-dimensional horizontal mapping. This information is obtained through the application and interpretation of appropriate non-destructive surface geophysical methods. Utility indications are referenced to established survey control. Incorporates Quality Levels C and D information to produce Quality Level B. If there are variances in the designated work area of Level D then a new schematic or plan layout, if needed, is required showing the limits of the proposed project and limits of the work area required for this work authorization; including highway stations, limits within existing or proposed right of way, additional areas outside the proposed right of way, and distances or areas to be included down existing intersecting roadways. 2. Utility Engineering including the identification of utility conflicts, coordination, compliance with Utility Accommodation Rules, and resolution of utility conflicts. The Engineer shall coordinate all activities with the District Director of Transportation Planning and Development, or their designee, to facilitate DocuSign Envelope ID: D0E29F2F-2A8C-4E32-A9B8-8EFA82530B8F WAs Used PeopleSoft Contract No. 7032 Legacy Contract No. 19-6SDP5001 the orderly progress and timely completion of the State’s design phase. Coordination of Engineering activities include:

Utility Base Map. 1The Engineer shall obtain information on existing utilities from utility owners and shall conduct investigations to identify and evaluate known existing and proposed public and private utilities. The Engineer shall identify potential conflicts and attempt to minimize the potential adverse utility impacts in the preparation of the schematic design. The Engineer shall prepare a base map depicting the utility locations. • Utility Engineering Investigation (currently Subsurface Utility Engineering) shall include utility investigations subsurface and above ground prepared in accordance with AASHTO standards [ASCE C-1 38-02 (▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇/programadmin/asce.cfm)] and Utility Quality Levels defined in cumulative order as follows: a. 1.

Quality Level C - Surface Visible Feature Survey: Quality Level D information from existing records is correlated with surveyed surface-visible features. Includes Quality Level D information. If there are variances in the designated work area of Level D then a new schematic or plan layout, if needed, is required showing the limits of the proposed project and limits of the work area required for this work authorization; including highway stations, limits within existing or proposed right of way, additional areas outside the proposed right of way, and distances or areas to be included down existing intersecting roadways. c. 3. Quality Level B - – Designate: Two-dimensional horizontal mapping. This information is obtained through the application and interpretation of appropriate non-destructive surface geophysical methods. Utility indications are referenced to established survey control. Incorporates Quality Levels C and D information to produce Quality Level B. If there are variances in the designated work area of Level D then a new schematic or plan layout, if needed, is required showing the limits of the proposed project and limits of the work area required for this work authorization; including highway stations, limits within existing or proposed right of way, additional areas outside the proposed right of way, and distances or areas to be included down existing intersecting roadways. 24. Utility Engineering including Quality Level A - Locate (Test Hole): Three-dimensional mapping and other characterization data. This information is obtained through exposing utility facilities through test holes and measuring and recording (to appropriate survey control) utility and environment data. Incorporates quality levels B, C and D information to produce Quality Level A. Including 48 DocuSign Envelope ID: 798F7E2C-0AE6-40EE-BFB4-3AB848988972 The Engineer shall comply with all applicable State policy and procedural manuals and shall be responsible for any damage to the identification utility during the locating process. In the event of damage, the Engineer shall stop work, notify the appropriate utility conflictsfacility owner, coordinationthe State and appropriate regulatory agencies. The regulatory agencies include, compliance with Utility Accommodation Rules, but are not limited to the Railroad Commission of Texas and resolution of utility conflictsthe Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The Engineer shall coordinate all activities with not resume work until the District Director of Transportation Planning and Development, utility facility owner has determined the corrective action to be taken. The Engineer shall be liable for the costs involved in the repair or their designee, to facilitate DocuSign Envelope ID: D0E29F2F-2A8C-4E32-A9B8-8EFA82530B8F WAs Used PeopleSoft Contract No. 7032 Legacy Contract No. 19-6SDP5001 the orderly progress and timely completion replacement of the State’s design phaseutility facility.
