4. CONTRACTOR shall be required to set elevation hubs (blue tops) for subgrade and base course on centerline, at quarter points and curb lines or edge of pavement at intervals not exceeding 50 feet.

5. The construction plans will include horizontal and vertical control points. References to surveyed benchmarks used in establishing controls on the drawings will be provided by the Owner’s E/A. In addition, on building projects and/or projects not built within an existing public ROW, a boundary survey will be supplied together with a legal description of the property and all easements where Work will take place.

6. CONTRACTOR shall submit construction staking layout sheets sealed by a Professional

Engineer or Registered Professional Land Surveyor registered in the State of Texas.

CONTRACTOR shall use a qualification based selection process consistent with the

6.4 The 16-inch water main centerline and offset centerline stakes will be set at no greater than fifty (50) foot intervals and at points of alignment or grade changes. References to lines and grades as established by the CONTRACTOR's surveyor shall be in reference to these stake lines. The CONTRACTOR is required to provide a sealed statement from their RPLS that the controls are correct and the site layout has been done by their professional staff.

6.5 The CONTRACTOR shall place grade stakes and submit construction staking layout sheets. The CONTRACTOR shall allow a minimum of ten (10) days after submission to the Owner’s Representative for review of construction staking layout sheets. Construction staking layout sheets shall include, at a minimum, the information contained in the form included at the end of this section. No

Work shall be performed without Owner’s Representative review and return to

CONTRACTOR of construction staking layout sheets. The Owner’s Representative, E/A and the CONTRACTOR shall review the survey controls on the ground.

6.7 The CONTRACTOR shall furnish, without charge, experienced personnel and such calibrated survey equipment, tools, stakes, and other materials that the Owner’s

Representative may require in establishing or checking control points, or in checking survey, layout, and measurement work performed by the

Surveying will be coordinated between the Owner’s Representative and CONTRACTOR in a manner convenient to both.

6.9 During layout, CONTRACTOR shall field verify the elevation and alignment of all tie-in points to existing infrastructure. This work shall be performed sufficiently in advance of construction so that any conflicts may be resolved without delay.

Any work done without being properly located may be ordered removed and replaced at the CONTRACTOR's expense.

6.10 The CONTRACTOR shall carefully preserve all monuments, benchmarks, reference points, and stakes. In case of the destruction thereof, the CONTRACTOR shall bear the cost of replacement and shall be responsible for any mistake or loss of time that may be caused.

7. As needed for necessary documentation of the work progress, the CONTRACTOR shall maintain and/or protect offset or survey staking for the duration of the project.

Any re-staking required to meet this requirement shall be done at the

CONTRACTOR’S expense.

8. This item is subsidiary to the work as a whole.
