All underground structures known to ENGINEER except service <br />connections for water, sewer, electric, and telephone are shown. This <br />information is shown for the assistance of CONTRACTOR in accordance <br />with the best information available, but is not guaranteed to be correct or <br />complete. The existing utilities shown on the Contract Drawings are located <br />according to the information available to the ENGINEER at the time the <br />Drawings were prepared and have not been independently verified by the <br />OWNER or the ENGINEER. Guarantee is not made that all existing <br />underground utilities are shown or that the locations of those shown are <br />accurate. The locations shown are for bidding purposes only. Finding the <br />actual location of any existing utilities is the CONTRACTOR's responsibility <br />and shall be done before it commences any work in the vicinity. <br />Furthermore, the CONTRACTOR shall be fully responsible for any and all <br />damages, which might be occasioned by the CONTRACTOR's failure,to <br />exactly locate and preserve any and all underground utilities. The OWNER <br />or ENGINEER will assume no liability for any damages sustained or costs <br />incurred because of the CONTRACTOR's operations in the vicinity of <br />existing utilities or structures, nor for temporary bracing and shoring of <br />same. If it is necessary to shore, brace, or swing a utility, contact the utility <br />company or department affected and obtain their permission regarding the <br />method to use for such work. <br />3. Contact the various utility companies which may have buried or aerial <br />utilities within or near the construction area before commencing work. <br />Provide 48 hours minimum notice to all utility companies prior to beginning <br />construction. <br />4. Schedule and execute all work involving existing utilities in order to minimize <br />necessary interruption of services. Whenever such interruption is <br />necessary for completion of the work, notify the ENGINEER and the <br />appropriate utility at least 48 hours in advance. Perform all work to <br />repair/restore utility service to the satisfaction of the appropriate utility. <br />Include all costs related to service maintenance, interruption, and <br />restoration in the appropriate line item in the Contract. <br />5. Where it is necessary to temporarily interrupt house or business services, <br />the CONTRACTOR shall notify the owner or occupant, both before the <br />interruption (24-hour minimum), and again immediately before service is <br />resumed. Before disconnecting and pipes or cables, the CONTRACTOR <br />shall obtain permission from their owner, or shall make suitable <br />arrangement for their disconnection by their owner. <br />6. Explore ahead of trenching and excavation work and uncover all obstructing <br />underground structures sufficiently to determine their location, to prevent <br />damage to them and to prevent interruption of the services which such <br />01541-3 F•\Public Works\ENGINEERING DIVISION <br />PROJECTS\1304-CR 512 Resurf (SCOP)_125th Ave to I-951Admim\bid documents\Master Contract Documents\01541 - Protection of <br />Property doc <br />
