described below:
Level B (includes tasks as described for Quality Level C)
• Select and apply appropriate surface geophysical method(s) to search for and
detect subsurface utilities within the project limits, and/or to trace a particular
utility line or system.
• Based on an interpretation of data, mark the indications of utilities on the
ground surface for subsequent survey. Utilize paint or other method
acceptable for marking of lines.
• Unless otherwise directed, mark centerline of single -conduit lines, and outside
edges of multi -conduit systems.
• Resolve differences between designated utilities and utility records and
surveyed appurtenances.
• Recommend additional measures to resolve differences if they still exist.
Recommendations may include additional or different surface geophysical
methods, exploratory excavation, or upgrade to Quality Level A data.
• As an alternative to the physical marking of lines, the ENGINEER may, with
CITY's approval, utilize other means of data collection, storage, retrieval, and
reduction, that enables the correlation of surface geophysical data to the
project's survey control.
Level A
• Expose and locate utilities at specific locations.
• Tie horizontal and vertical location of utility to survey control.
• Provide utility size and configuration.
• Provide paving thickness and type, where applicable
