Utility Design. The Engineer will coordinate and develop PS&E for utilities to be included in the construction contract for the County upon written request by the Utility Owner and/or the County. All joint bid utility plan requests are to be approved by the County or Designated Representative prior to commencing work.
6.1. The Engineer shall develop PS&E and special details to accommodate or adjust utilities, including but not limited to fiber optic, communications, gas, water or wastewater. Prior to developing any special utility detail or PS&E set, the Engineer shall notify the County and its Designated Representative in writing regarding each utility conflict that may require an accommodation. As directed by the County or its Designated Representative, the Engineer shall coordinate with each utility to develop each PS&E package and special details. The Engineer shall develop each utility detail or PS&E package in compliance with the County or governing agency guidelines.
6.2. The Engineer shall prepare General Notes and shall provide a list of governing specifications and special provisions. The Engineer shall prepare each plan sheet, detail sheet, special specification, special provision, and special note required to incorporate the utility designs into the County’s plans. If necessary, the Engineer shall provide any required Utility Certifications. The Engineer shall prepare a Construction Time Determination schedule for each utility relocation design required to incorporate into the County’s construction schedule.
6.3. The Engineer shall provide quantities for construction bid items, as well as estimate of probable costs, starting at the 60% design submittal.
6.4. The Engineer should submit plans at each respective design milestone to the Utility Owner, the Utility Coordinator and the County or Designated Representative for review. The Utility Coordinator and the County or Designated Representative shall provide written comments on the plan submittal within five (5) business days from receipt.
6.5. The Engineer cannot perform utility design if that individual had a role in utility coordination on the project.
Utility Design. The Phase Developer shall engage with Utility Owners as necessary to obtain additional Utility information needed for the Predevelopment Work. Additional Utility information may involve identification and tracking of potential impacts, and the design and coordination of any unavoidable Utility impacts. The Phase Developer shall obtain all required information sufficient to:
(a) identify all potential impacts associated with the Section Work;
(b) eliminate, minimize, mitigate or manage risk of potential Unknown Utilities or unforeseen field conditions that may impact schedule or cost; and
(c) submit a compliant Committed Section Proposal. If the Phase Developer uses data provided with the Reference Information Documents, the Phase Developer shall verify it is applicable for its intended use and perform additional data acquisition as needed. The Phase Developer shall alert MDOT if errors or discrepancies are discovered in the MDOT provided Reference Information Documents. Specific activities and responsibilities are discussed in Exhibit 6 Article 7 (Utility Coordination). The Phase Developer shall develop in the Conceptual Design approaches for addressing impacted Utilities demonstrating avoidance, impact minimization, protection in place or relocation of Utilities as required. As the design advances, the Phase Developer shall:
(a) obtain additional field data such as test pits or potholes to locate utilities;
(b) adjust the design to further avoid and minimize impacts based on any new data;
(c) meet and collaborate with the Utility Owner and MDOT; and
(d) perform ongoing coordination with Utility Owners to ensure the Section Work is not adversely impacted or delayed. The Phase Developer shall report to MDOT on the status of the acquisition of additional data and coordination activities as the Work progresses. The Phase Developer shall, at a minimum, focus the Conceptual Design effort on Utilities with the highest risk and potential for cost and schedule impact to the Work including those Utilities owned and operated by WSSC, PEPCO, Washington Gas, Verizon, Century Link, Fiberlight, Crown Castle, AT&T, Zayo and the City of Rockville DPW. The Phase Developer shall conduct a review of the Conceptual Design with MDOT and the Utility Owners and obtain written confirmation the Conceptual Design is acceptable to MDOT and the Utility Owners. The Phase Developer shall include in the Predevelopment Work Schedule and the Section Schedule all Submittals to Utility Owne...
Utility Design. DRH shall employ North Carolina licensed engineers to design the water infrastructure (“Water Infrastructure”) serving the Project, including, but not limited to, taps; location, size, and depth of lines; locations of hydrants and meters; and materials or approved equal. Upon review and approval by the Town, DRH shall prepare the Application for Approval of Engineering Plans and Specifications for Water Supply System and timely submit the application to NCDEQ.
Utility Design. 3. The above activities, combined with traditional records research and site surveys, and utilizing new technologies such as surface geophysical methods and non-destructive vacuum excavation, provide "quality levels" of information.
a) There are four recognized quality levels of underground utility information ranging from Quality Level (QL) D (the lowest level) to Quality Level A (the highest level). The highest level of accuracy and comprehensiveness is generally not needed at every point along a utility's path, only where conflicts with design features are most likely to occur. Hence, lesser levels of information may be appropriate at points where fewer conflicts or no conflicts are expected. Each of the four quality levels is described as follows:
i. Quality Level D. QL-D is the most basic level of information for utility locations. It comes solely from existing utility records or verbal recollections, both typically unreliable sources. It may provide an overall "feel" for the congestion of utilities, but is often highly limited in terms of comprehensiveness and accuracy. QL-D is useful primarily for project planning and route selection activities.
ii. Quality Level C. QL-C is probably the most commonly used level of information. It involves surveying visible utility facilities (e.g., manholes, valve boxes, etc.) and correlating this information with existing utility records (QL-D information). When using this information, it is not unusual to find that many underground utilities have been either omitted or erroneously plotted. Its usefulness, therefore, is primarily on rural projects where utilities are not prevalent, or are not too expensive to repair or relocate.
iii. Quality Level B. QL-B involves the application of appropriate surface geophysical methods to determine the existence and horizontal position of virtually all utilities within the project limits. This activity is called "designating". The information obtained in this manner is surveyed to project control. It addresses problems caused by inaccurate utility records, abandoned or unrecorded facilities, and lost references. The proper selection and application of surface geophysical techniques as defined in the latest edition of ASCE’s Standard Guidelines for the Collection and Depiction of Existing Subsurface Utilities for achieving QL-B data is critical. Information provided by QL-B can enable the accomplishment of preliminary engineering goals. Decisions regarding location of storm drain...
