SITE INFORMATION
Any available information relative to existing conditions at the site of the
construction will be furnished to the A&E who (unless fee negotiations establish
otherwise) shall evaluate and verify such information and make field measurements
and investigations as necessary to prepare adequate construction drawings and
specifications. When the exposure of existing subsurface construction is considered
necessary, the A&E shall arrange with the PM for accomplishment of this work The
A&E shall contact the Public Works Officer and obtain approval to dig, probe,
sample or drill in order to avoid injury or damage from encountering active utilities.

SURVEYS
The A&E shall make all field surveys required for design and preparation of
construction documents. In general, this may consist of topographic site surveys,
alignment, profiles and cross sections. A sufficient number of semi-permanent survey
points to serve as initial horizontal and vertical survey controls for construction of the
project shall be set. The horizontal control points and bench marks shall be shown and
described on the plans. The datum used shall be that used for the station or area in
question and shall be shown on the appropriate site drawings. The surveying firm
shall obtain from LANTNAVFACENGCOM (not the Activity) the bench mark or
datum location to be used for the project design. That datum shall be confirmed in
writing. Failure to comply with this requirement may be cause for survey/design
rework at no additional cost to the Government. Boundary surveys to be used as
instruments for real estate purposes shall carry the seal of a licensed land surveyor
acceptable to the political subdivision in question.
