Maintenance of Slope and Grade. The Company shall ensure all filling complies with the most current permit grades and ensure all interim and final slope and fill requirements meet all cell permit plans. In order to maintain slope and fill extents the Company shall plan and schedule frequent survey stakeout events to be performed by a Registered Surveyor, licensed in the State of Florida to monitor and set fill placement extents. In order to reduce the frequency of survey stakeout events needed over the contract term the Company may include the use of portable survey grade GPS equipment to periodically check grades with on-site personnel or install GPS surface control systems in the Landfill Equipment. The Company shall ensure that initial personnel training and equipment calibration of any GPS equipment is performed under the guidance and direction of a Registered Surveyor. All costs associated with survey staking including the purchase and use of any GPS equipment to monitor and set fill placement extents shall be borne by the Company and included in the Base Fee.
