B. UTILITY STAKING REQUIREMENTS:

The contractor shall layout and mark his intended utility routing before calling for field coordination by utility personnel. This shall be done a minimum of five working days in advance of when digging is expected to begin. Once all responsible utility representatives have field located crossover and/or interference points between the new utility route and existing utilities, they will sign off on the digging permit to signify completion of the field coordination of the digging permit. The permit must then be presented to Civil Engineering Construction Inspector for final coordination before digging in the area represented by the digging permit may begin.

Any utility service markers or markings established by the utility representatives must be maintained by the contractor through the completion of the digging operations. Contractor shall remove all flags incidental to work when complete.

C. DIGGING OPERATIONS:

Digging near established interference or crossover points shall be done by hand, five (5) feet either side of the point along the intended route, in order to prevent disturbing the existing utility.

If the existing utility is uncovered in the new excavation, it shall be protected from damage and movement while in the open excavation and during backfill. The contractor shall be responsible for the repairs and associated costs for repairs of any utility damaged by construction, whose location was made known to the contractor.

D. UTILITY OUTAGES:

1. Any utility outages (gas, electricity, and water) requested by the Contractor shall be submitted in writing no less than fifteen (10) calendar days prior to the proposed outage.
