Item 105.30010– As-Built Documentation
The work under this item shall consist of furnishing all materials, equipment, and labor necessary for providing complete and accurate as-built record document plans to the City. As-built plans shall reflect all in-place field dimensions, horizontal locations and vertical elevations for all constructed or installed improvements. All changes, additions and deletions shall be depicted graphically and represented numerically. All dimensions and elevations on the plan sheets must be verified.
The Contractor shall be required to keep a clean and current set of as-built plans on-site during the
Project’s construction duration. The as-built plans must be kept up to date for each phase of construction throughout the Project’s construction duration. These as-built plans shall be subject to review each month by the City’s Engineering Inspector to verify compliance with this specification and will be part of the approval process for each of the Contractor’s monthly progress payments.
The Contractor shall be responsible for preparing and providing to the City all final as-built record documents for the Project using the most recent City approved plan sheets. An Arizona registered civil engineer or Arizona registered land surveyor shall seal the final as-built record documents. The final as-built record documents shall conform to the requirements of MAG Specifications Sections
105.8 and 105.15; and as specified in the City MAG Supplement. Changes to the original Plan
Drawings shall be made by striking through the original information with a single line. The as-built changes shall be noted with the letters ‘AB’ after the correction. The as-built changes shall be shown in both plan and profile as appropriate. Changes in horizontal alignment shall be noted on the plan and tied down by stationing and offsets from the monument line. Any portions of the Work not constructed shall be clearly labeled “Deleted” or “not built”.
At project completion, the Contractor shall submit a final, clean, full-size set of redline record plan drawings showing the entire project with the as-built information as described above. This final set shall be prepared, reviewed and sealed by the Contractor’s surveyor. The City shall review the final paper set for completeness and acceptability.

Once the bond set of redlines as-built plans are approved and accepted the as-built plans shall be submitted in duplicate digital files (DVD), in both “TIF” and “PDF” formats.
Measurement for the As-built Record Document Plans will be prorated (overall project percent completion) each month over the Project’s duration. Payment: There will be no separate payment for the preparation and maintenance of as-builts. As-builts will be considered incidental to the project and other related items.
105.60010 – Cooperation with Utilities:
The following utility companies may have facilities in the area of this project. It shall be the
Contractor’s responsibility to determine the exact location of the utilities prior to any construction operations and to notify the below mentioned utility companies a minimum of five (5) working days prior to commencing any work on the project. Use caution and always follow all local Blue Stake laws.

Unisource Energy Services has overhead electrical facilities located throughout the project area.
These facilities shall be protected in place during the construction. To protect in place, excavation around all Unisource Energy Services poles must be limited to one foot or less below grade. In instances where Unisource Energy Services overhead lines transition to underground lines at the base of pole, the Contractor will need to coordinate with Unisource Energy Services to provide an inspector on-site while the demolition/excavation is performed.
There are areas throughout the project where an overhead system crosses. Caution and proper clearances should be taken into consideration when doing work directly below these facilities. Pole bracing is required when digging is within four (4) feet of existing poles and depth of excavation is greater than two (2) feet. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to maintain minimum OSHA clearances from Unisource Energy Services overhead & underground facilities.
There are several areas throughout the project where the proposed water lines cross existing underground systems. Caution and proper clearances should be taken into consideration when doing work in and around these facilities. Allow a minimum of 45-days to resolve undetermined conflicts that arise as a result of the construction of this project. When crossing Frontier Communications, or
NPG Cable, LLC (Suddenlink Comm.) facilities the Contractor shall pothole to determine depth and maintain a minimum of 12 inches of vertical and horizontal separation from the proposed facility.
Support and protect all facilities during construction. Utility companies do not maintain installation records of customer drops that may conflict with this project.
There are underground gas lines running throughout the Project length. During water installation, care will need to be taken to maintain appropriate clearances from the gas line. Unisource Energy does not provide depth information for natural gas facilities. It is recommended that the Contractor evaluate each gas pipeline location by potholing to determine the exact elevation of the gas pipe. Prior to excavating, the Contractor must call Arizona 811 Blue Stake at (800) 782-5348 so existing gas facilities may be accurately located. The Contractor should hand dig carefully at these marked locations until the gas pipe has been found and exposed. Use care to avoid damaging or breaking a small electrical tracer wire (which is used for locating purposes) that may be buried with the pipe.
Any underground facility crossing natural gas must have at least 12 inches face-to-face clearance at the point of crossing.
Abandoned steel gas lines may also be located within the project limits that are potentially coated or wrapped with unidentified materials. Unisource Energy treats all of its steel gas pipe with unidentified coating/wrapping materials as potentially containing asbestos. Accordingly, whenever such pipe is in direct conflict and requires removal, it must only be done so by one of the utility provider’s NESHAP certified contractors. The costs associated with such removal will be the responsibility of Unisource
Energy. Contact the utility provider in advance to coordinate removal.
Once mechanical trenching is in progress, do not dig within two (2) feet of a gas pipe. This trenching shall be done by hand in order to prevent any damage to the gas pipe. In the event the Contractor should “hook” or otherwise strain a gas pipe while excavating, a call shall be placed to Unisource
Energy at (877) 837-4968.
Even though there may not be any apparent damage, the strain may have damaged the wrap or a portion of the buried pipe or fittings at other locations causing a leak in the surrounding area. Also, if a steel facility is exposed and the pipe coating is found to be in need of repair, contact the utility provider so a crew can be dispatched to rewrap the pipe.
When the excavations are complete, all exposed gas pipes shall be protected. If the trench is more than three (3) feet wide, the pipe must be supported in a manner where the supporting material does not damage the pipe or its protective wrapping.
Unisource Energy requires six (6) inches of bedding, one inch on the side and six (6) inches of shading with sand or material free of rocks and able to pass through a 3/8 inch screen. This will provide a firm support under the facility and prevent damage to the pipe or pipe coating from the backfilling operation. Do no drop backfill directly over the gas pipe. During the compaction process, use extra care when directly over the gas pipe in order to avoid any damage.
In addition, the Unisource Energy system has Regulator Stations, pipeline valves, locating stations, test points and underground vaults each with protective valve box lids and vault manhole covers.
These are designed to be flush with the existing ground. Under U.S. Dept. of Transportation’s Pipeline
Safety Regulations and Unisource Energy operating procedures, these facilities are required to be accessible at all times.
Unisource Energy will paint yellow all protective valve box lids and vault manhole covers. It will be the responsibility of the Contractor to make sure these are protected during construction. The
Contractor will be responsible for adjustments to all valve box lids and vault manhole covers due to grading and paving per MAG Details 391.1 and 391.2. For emergencies, call Unisource Energy (877)
837-4968.
