8. TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEYS

The DB Contractor is to perform a topographic survey of the site according to basic criteria per EM 1110-1-1005 Table 6-1. Provide topographic mapping conforming to A/E/C Standards. Provide general annotation including street names, building numbers, feature descriptions, surface types, and symbols for utility structures.

a. Contour Interval

Contour intervals will be typically 0.250 meter with the fourth contour (whole meter number) bolder than the intermediate contours.

b. Survey Limits

Extend survey limits a minimum of 10 meters beyond the project limits for clarification of existing drainage patterns.

c. Utilities

Show the source of utility information in the legend area mapping. Above and below ground utilities will be located and shown on the final mapping. Underground utility information to be shown includes but is not limited to sanitary sewers, storm sewers, electrical, communications (including fiber optic), cathodic protection, gas, and water. Survey existing electrical (non-airfield circuits) back to the closest available source to potentially have a logical conclusion for a connection point for the proposed improvements. This is anticipated to be near the existing Aircraft Control Tower Building. Other utility lines extending outside the indicated mapping area should be shown to logical conclusions (adjacent manhole or potential connecting point) even if that end point is outside the mapping area. All underground information will be shown at proper elevations in the 3D CAD files and thoroughly annotated.

d. Above and Below Ground Utilities (Electric)

Utilities include, but are not limited to, power lines and communication lines, street light poles, guy wires, vaults (including handholes and manholes), transformers and substations.

e. Above and Below Ground Utilities (Water, Gas, Etc.)

Locate all water, gas and other above and below ground pressure pipes. Locate all fire hydrants, hose bibs, valve meter, regulators, etc., within the limits of the area to be surveyed. Include location of pressure pipes on the topo map. Use sketched inserts where needed for detail and clarity. Utility lines extending outside the indicated mapping area should be shown to logical conclusions (adjacent manhole or potential connecting point) even if that end point is outside the mapping area. Open all manholes to notate components within (amounts, types, depths, etc.).

f. Wastewater Sewers and Storm Drains

Locate sanitary and industrial sewer manholes and storm drainage structures, such as culverts, headwalls, inlets, cleanouts, and manholes. Always obtain an elevation at the manhole rim and at the flow line at the bottom of all pipes connected to a manhole, culvert, or inlet (invert elevations). Clearly identify the size, direction of flow, and type of each pipe. Obtain the pipe invert elevation upstream and downstream of all manholes and inlets even if beyond the limits of the required topo.

g. Roads, Drives, Parking Lots, Walks and Trails

All roads should have elevations at 10-meter intervals along the centerline and each edge of road.

The top-back of curbs and gutter flow lines should be collected for elevation purposes. The back of curb should be shown in plan view without gutter lines for this mapping. Centerlines will be shown on two-lane roads or wider. The surface type and road name will be shown by text.

h. Buildings and Structures

All permanent and temporary buildings, foundations, and structures will be identified. Structures higher than ground elevation should be collected from their roof lines and shown at zero elevation. This outline will be used to define an obscure zone for eliminating contour display. All buildings and similar structures will have ground elevations determined adjacent to them using the minimum number of points defining the structure’s footprint. Elevations should be collected photometrically where possible. These elevations should be 3D line strings to be used as break lines when developing the TIN for contour processing.

i. Fences

All fences, walls and other similar obstructions should be shown.

j. Trees, Shrubs and Landscaping Material

Show all landscape materials, shrubs, and trees. If the trees are dense, then tree lines will be treated exactly as buildings and structures.

k. Ditches, Streams, Canals, Ponds and Scour Holes

Show water’s edge if visible. Water should be considered an obscured area and treated as buildings and structures with the exception that water’s edge should be at proper elevation and should be collected as visible break lines.

l. Other Visible Surface Features

Locate any storage tanks, radio antennas, or other surface structures visible and located within the area to be mapped.

9. SCHEMATIC AND REFERENCE DRAWINGS

a. All existing drawings that are available are located within Appendix A. The concept Drawings and schematics shown for the new PWM warehouses are to be used only as a guide for the new design. The DB Contractor is solely responsible for the design of these systems and structures and shall take full responsibility for any design and the associated construction costs based on the use of these schematics.

b. Reference drawings of existing sites, systems, structures and conditions are provided. The information on these drawings may or may not reflect exact conditions at the current site and shall not be considered “as-built”.
