SECTION 01 01 00 Page 2

C. Coordinate with appropriate utility-locating agencies. A Base Civil Engineer Work Clearance Request Form AF 103 will be completed prior to any physical work taking place. AF 103 will be given to the Contractor during the pre-construction meeting. AF 103 must be signed and kept on site at all times with prime Contractor. Contractor shall schedule a meeting time to meet with each utility agency at the work site to locate affected utilities.

D. Clearance request is not valid until signed by the approving officer (Block 18 of AF 103). Approving officer will not sign until all locates are marked and all utility-locating agencies' signatures are on the form.

E. For excavation work: Work shall commence within 30 days after the approving Contracting Officer's signature, otherwise clearance request is invalid and a new request is required. Notify Contracting Officer immediately if new utilities were installed by others and not marked after all initial locates are made.

F. Contractor shall maintain all marked utilities in the field once they are initially marked by each utility agency. If markings are damaged, Contractor shall request new locates and shall give the locating agency 48 hours to perform the new locates.

G. Expenses for time and materials to perform repeat locates shall be borne by the Contractor, unless otherwise approved by the approving officer.

H. Cost to do the repeat locates will be deducted from the final invoice. In cases where utilities were marked late in the year and operations had to be shut down for winter, marked utilities would still have to be maintained by the Contractor by placing stakes or transcribing the marks on a drawing. When construction resumes, Contractor shall re-mark the site and may request verification of utility locations at no additional cost to him (Off-Base utility-locating agencies might request additional cost for repeat locates).
