57-2 Personnel, Equipment, and Record Requirements.

Keep adequate field notes for all permanent control points that are referenced and reset. Make these field notes available for the County Surveyor’s review as the work progresses and furnish a complete scanned copy in Adobe PDF to the County Surveyor at the time of completion of the project. The County Surveyor’s inspection, checking, or acceptance of the Contractor’s field notes, or survey work does not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility to achieve the lines, grades, and dimensions shown in the Contract Documents.

GPS is not acceptable for resetting monuments.

57-3 Protection and Restoration of Property Markers and Survey Monuments.

The Contractor shall employ a Florida-licensed Professional Land Surveyor satisfactory to the Engineer to perform all witnessing, restoration, setting or resetting of land boundary monuments and markers as required by this Specification.

The Contractor shall be responsible for the preservation of all public and private property markers and shall protect carefully from disturbance or damage all survey monuments and property markers until their locations are witnessed or otherwise referenced by a Florida-licensed Professional Land Surveyor so the surveyor can restore them in their original location as the pertinent portions of project construction are completed.

All survey monuments, property markers, and benchmarks disturbed or destroyed by the Contractor or his forces through accident or negligence shall be replaced by a Florida-licensed Professional Land Surveyor at the Contractor’s expense.

No special compensation will be made to the Contractor to defray time or monetary costs of any delays occasioned by protection of land boundary markers, survey monuments, or benchmarks, witnessing existing markers, setting of new benchmarks, setting of survey monuments or re-setting of land boundary monuments and markers.

If a property corner is destroyed and replaced, submit a copy of the Boundary Survey to the Engineer.

57-3.1 Section and ¼ Section Corners: All section corners and ¼-section corners disturbed shall be reset with monuments (iron rod and cap or concrete monument). The Surveyor employed by the Contractor shall re-reference section corners and ¼-corners within the project limits and submit a Certified Corner Record in accordance with Chapter 177.507, Part III, Certification of Corners, Florida Statutes to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the County.

Contractor must submit confirmation that the Certified Corner Record has been sent to the FDEP.

57-3.2 Benchmarks: Any federal, state, or county benchmark monument disturbed or destroyed by construction shall be replaced in a nearby location.

National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) 1929 benchmarks need to be protected, or if destroyed need to be moved to a nearby location.

Supply the County Surveyor with the field book notes and to obtain a county benchmark number.

North American Vertical Datum (NAVD) 1988 benchmarks need to be protected, or if destroyed disc must be submitted to the County Surveyor. Establish a new benchmark offsite prior to destroying the NAVD88 and run a closed level loop back to the original NAVD88 benchmark. Supply the County Surveyor with the field book notes and to obtain a county benchmark number.

57-3.3 Right-of-Way Monumentation: All right-of-way owned by the County including right-of-way for lateral ditches, environmental impact mitigation sites, storm water management pond sites and other drainage facilities shall be monumented in accordance with the information shown on the Right-of-Way Map. The right-of-way will be monumented using markers provided by Sarasota County Survey-Mapping, SARCO Aluminum R/W Markers, to be stamped with the Contractor’s Surveyors P.S.M. or L.B.

Number. Those markers shall be set on the right-of-way as shown on the Right-of- Way Map. The final field location of the right-of-way markers installed will be shown on a Right-of-Way Monumentation Map (Specific Purpose Survey) and the monumentation installation shall be certified by the Contractor’s Surveyor. One Mylar signed and sealed copy of the Right-of-Way Monumentation Map will be submitted to the Engineer.

(REV 06-06-18) (7-22)

SUBARTICLE 120-1.2 is deleted and the following substituted:

120-1.2 Unidentified Areas of Contamination: When encountering or exposing any abnormal condition indicating the presence of contaminated materials, cease operations immediately in the vicinity and notify the Engineer. The presence of tanks or barrels; discolored earth, metal, wood, ground water, etc.; visible fumes;

abnormal odors; excessively hot earth; smoke; or other conditions that appear abnormal may indicate the presence of contaminated materials and must be treated with extreme caution.

Make every effort to minimize the spread of contamination into uncontaminated areas. Immediately provide for the health and safety of all workers at the job site and make provisions necessary for the health and safety of the public that may be exposed to any potentially hazardous conditions. Ensure provisions adhere to all applicable laws, rules or regulations covering potentially hazardous conditions and will be in a manner commensurate with the gravity of the conditions.

The Engineer will notify the County’s Contamination Assessment Firm for assessment of the site. Provide access to the potentially contaminated area.

Preliminary investigation by the Contamination Assessment Firm will determine the course of action necessary for site security and the steps necessary under applicable laws, rules, and regulations for additional assessment and/or remediation work to resolve the contamination issue.

The Contamination Assessment Firm will delineate the contamination area(s). The Engineer will then notify the Prime Contractor of the findings. If remediation work is necessary, one of the following courses of actions will occur:

(1) The Engineer will offer the Prime Contractor the remediation work as extra work on the contract, provided the Prime Contractor can provide documentation of authorization/certification to perform such work, or

(2) The Engineer will solicit a separate contract with an independent

Contractor to perform such remediation work.

If an outside Contractor is selected to perform any necessary remediation work, that Contractor will delineate any staging or holding area required, and, in cooperation with the Prime Contractor and Engineer, develop a work plan that will provide the outside Contractor’s operations schedule with projected completion dates for the final resolution of the contamination issue. The outside Contractor will maintain jurisdiction over activities inside any outlined contaminated areas and any associated staging holding areas. The outside Contractor will be responsible for the health and safety of workers within the delineated areas. Provide continuous access to these areas for the outside Contractor and representatives of regulatory or enforcement agencies having jurisdiction. Both Contractors will use the schedule as a basis for planning the completion of both work efforts. The Engineer may grant the Contract Time extensions according to the provisions of 8-7.3.2. Cooperate with the outside Contractor to expedite integration of the outside Contractor’s operations into the construction project.

The Prime Contractor is not expected to engage in routine construction activities, such as excavating, grading, or any type of soil manipulation, or any construction processes required if handling of contaminated soil, surface water or ground water is involved. All routine construction activities requiring the handling of contaminated soil, surface water or groundwater will be by the outside Contractor. Adjustments to quantities or to Contract unit prices will be made according to work additions or reductions on the part of the Prime Contractor in accordance with 4-3.

If the Prime Contractor performs any necessary remediation work, the Engineer may grant the Contract Time extensions according to the provisions of 8-

7.3.2 and may make adjustments to quantities or to Contract unit prices according to work additions or reductions on the part of the Prime Contractor in accordance with 4- 3.

The Engineer will direct the Prime Contractor when operations may resume in the affected area.

SUBARTICLE 120-5.4 is deleted and the following substituted:

120-5.4 Disposal Areas: Where the Contract Documents require disposal of excavated materials outside the right-of-way, and the disposal area is not indicated in the Contract Documents, furnish the disposal area without additional compensation.

Provide areas for disposal of dredged materials out of sight of the project and at least 300 feet from the nearest roadway right-of-way line of any State-, County- , or City-maintained Road. If the materials are buried, disregard the 300-foot limitation.
