Verify the elevations of existing piping, utilities, and any type of underground or encased obstruction not indicated to be specified or removed but indicated or discovered during scanning in locations to be traversed by piping, ducts, and other work to be conducted or installed. Verify elevations before installing new work closer than nearest manhole or other structure at which an adjustment in grade can be made.

If any communication cables, pipes, utility service wires or other Government property is damaged by the Contractor by unauthorized digging or other excavating, the Contractor shall be responsible for the repairs and any incidental and consequential damages, and the Contractor shall provide, where applicable, an estimate and plan for making the repairs or other proposals, to the Contracting Officer and Communication Squadron within one hour.
