i. Every attempt shall be made to preserve the location markings during excavation.

Location markings that are no longer visible shall be refreshed by calling the one-call system and/or the utility owners/operators for remarking.

j. All existing utilities that have been exposed during exploratory potholing or excavation must be supported to prevent stretching, kinking, or damage to the existing utility.

3. Excavation

a. Preserve, protect and maintain existing operable drains, sewers, and electrical ducts during grading, excavating and backfilling operations. Keep excavations dry. Locations indicated for existing utility facilities are approximate. Pipes or other manmade obstructions, in addition to those indicated, may be encountered. Movement of construction machinery and equipment over pipes and utilities during construction shall be at the Contractor’s risk. Perform all work adjacent to non-Government utilities as indicated in accordance with procedures outlined by utility owner. Excavation made with power driven equipment is not permitted within five feet of any known existing utility.

Start hand excavation on each side of the indicated obstruction and continue until the obstruction is uncovered. Support uncovered lines until approval for backfill is granted by the RE. No excavated material shall be disposed of in such a manner as to obstruct the flow of any stream, endanger a partly finished structure, impair the efficiency or appearance of any structure, or be detrimental to the completed work in any way.

b. An observer, acceptable to the RE, shall be present to assist the equipment operator when operating equipment around known underground facilities and utilities. Adhere to the following during excavation:

i. All mechanized excavation shall start with 6 to 10 inches of excavation on the surface. The equipment operator shall immediately cease operation and notify the RE if utility warning tapes, sand, or bedding material is uncovered at any time during excavation.
