GENERAL CONDITION, PART F, ARTICLE 7, REFERENCE POINTS, “Reference Points” is appended as follows:

General: The CONTRACTOR shall employ a Professional Surveyor and Mapper (PSM), registered in the State of Florida and satisfactory to the COUNTY, to lay out the work for bench marks, points and lines noted on the Contract Documents, established at the site, or supplied by the COUNTY. The CONTRACTOR shall provide to the COUNTY at the pre-construction conference, the name of the Professional Surveyor and Mapper to perform Project survey work.

All work of every description shall be laid out and checked by the CONTRACTOR who will be held solely responsible for its correctness.

Work may be checked by the PROJECT MANAGER and, in the event of a discrepancy, the PROJECT MANAGER'S decision shall be final.

No special compensation will be made to the CONTRACTOR to defray costs of surveys and measurements, but such costs shall be considered as having been included in the price stipulated for all items of work to be done under this contract.

Prior to the beginning of any construction the CONTRACTOR shall submit to the COUNTY a set of field notes verifying that the existing benchmark elevations are relative to at least two reference benchmarks shown on the construction plans. The CONTRACTOR shall also verify ties from project control points to reference points as shown on the construction plans. A set of field notes for all additional benchmark and reference point ties shall be submitted to the PROJECT MANAGER. All submittals shall be signed and sealed by a Professional Surveyor and Mapper registered in the State of Florida.

Within twenty-one (21) calendar days after receiving the Notice to Proceed, the CONTRACTOR shall have a licensed Professional Surveyor and Mapper establish in the field the proposed roadway centerline, right-of-way and construction easements using wooden 1" X 4" X 4'0" stakes at a maximum spacing of 100 feet. Stations shall be marked on each stake and shall be of sufficient size and clarity that they can be easily read by the unaided eye at a distance of 150 feet. Right-of-way and construction easement staking shall be maintained by the CONTRACTOR throughout construction. No invoice for payment will be processed until the right-of-way has been staked to the satisfaction of the ENGINEER. Payment is included in the price for bid item number 101-1 “Mobilization”. The CONTRACTOR shall pay all expenses in connection with this work.

All survey work shall comply with Chapter 5J-17 Standards of Practice, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), regarding minimum technical standards for land surveying in the State of Florida.

The CONTRACTOR shall perform all calculations required, and set all stakes needed such as grade stakes, offset stakes, reference point stakes, slope stakes, and other reference marks or points necessary to provide lines and grades for construction of all roadway, bridge, and miscellaneous items.

Part G-4

Specific Staking Requirements: When performing new base construction as part of the project, the CONTRACTOR shall set stakes to establish lines and grades for subgrade, base, curb, and related items at intervals along the line of the work no greater than 50 feet on tangents and 25 feet on curves. The CONTRACTOR shall set grade stakes at locations that the Engineer directs to facilitate checking of subgrade, base, and pavement elevations in crossovers, intersections, and irregular shaped areas.

For bridge construction stakes and other control, the CONTRACTOR shall set references at sufficiently frequent intervals to ensure construction of all components of a structure in accordance with the lines and grades shown in the plans.

For projects where the plans do not show a centerline or other survey control line for construction of the work (resurfacing, safety modifications, etc.), the CONTRACTOR shall provide only such stakes as necessary for horizontal and vertical control of work items.

For resurfacing and resurfacing-widening type projects, the CONTRACTOR shall establish horizontal controls adequate to ensure that the asphalt mix added matches with the existing pavement. In tangent sections, set horizontal control points at 100 foot intervals by an instrument survey. In curve sections, set horizontal control points at 25 foot intervals by locating and referencing the centerline of the existing pavement.

The CONTRACTOR shall establish by an instrument survey, and mark on the surface of the finished pavement at 25 foot intervals, the points necessary for striping of the finished roadway.

As an exception, for resurfacing and resurfacing/widening projects, the CONTRACTOR shall establish these points in the same manner as used for horizontal control of paving operations. The CONTRACTOR shall mark the pavement with white paint. If performing striping, the PROJECT MANAGER may approve an alternate method for layout of striping provided that the CONTRACTOR achieves an alignment equal to or better than the alignment that would be achieved using an instrument survey.

For projects that include temporary or permanent striping of “no passing zones”, the CONTRACTOR shall provide the location and length of these zones as shown in the plans, except projects where the vertical or horizontal alignment is new or altered from the preconstruction alignment. For projects that consist of new or altered vertical or horizontal alignment, the COUNTY will provide the location and length of the "no passing zones" during construction. For these projects, the CONTRACTOR shall notify the PROJECT MANAGER not less than 21 calendar days prior to beginning striping.

Benchmarks: During construction the CONTRACTOR shall provide a Control Point Metal Disk set in concrete (e.g. in headwalls, back of sidewalks, back of inlets, etc.) at the beginning and end of the project and at a maximum of 1100 feet between existing or established benchmarks along the project alignment – (see attached disc requirements). The CONTRACTOR’S Professional Surveyor and Mapper (PSM) shall conduct a three wire leveling run (closed loop) through the benchmarks based on Orange County Datum NAVD88 (or other datum as specified

Part G-5 on the Engineering plans). The level work will be performed to Second Order, Class II standards (or better) and the maximum allowable error will be no more than 8 mm times the square root of “K”, where “K” is the total distance in kilometers. This is also approximately equivalent to 0.035 feet times the square root of “K”, where “K” is the total distance in miles. The level run will be performed with a geodetic automatic level or better whose three wires will be read to 0.001 meters or 0.001 feet. Invar rods are preferred but not required. Digital automatic levels with associated bar code rods are also acceptable. Prior to the issuance of final completion, the CONTRACTOR shall submit a copy of the field notes certified by the PSM to the PROJECT MANAGER.

Benchmark elevations shall be expressed in English units.
