Maintain all markings during utility investigation throughout the contract. “At the contractor’s expense, all underground utilities in the work area must be positively identified by a private utility locating service in addition to any station locating service and coordinated with the station utility department.”

17.5.1. Physically verify underground utility locations by hand digging using wood or fiberglass handled tools when any adjacent construction work is expected to come within three feet of the underground system.
