The contractor must locate, identify, mark with color-coded lead-free paint and flags, and digitize in CAD format (PDF and DWG using AutoCAD 2018 or newer, State Plane Coordinates or UTM with NAD 83 datum, and vertical data referenced to NAVD 88) all underground utilities on designated grounds. The contract requires delivery of CAD files within two working days of marking completion and service delivery within two working days of the Contracting Officer's Representative request, including emergency after-hours locates at the same unit rate. The contractor must locate utilities within 18 horizontal inches of actual locations, maintain a professionally surveyed horizontal control network under a licensed surveyor, and furnish all labor, materials, supervision, equipment, and transportation. Estimated service volume is approximately 100 scheduled visits annually.

Service Contract Act wage determinations apply for Survey Party Chief, Surveying Aide, and Surveying Technician classifications across Virginia, DC, and Maryland jurisdictions. Evaluation applies lowest price technically acceptable criteria, with award to the offeror representing best value.
