1. PART 1 - GENERAL
1.01 SECTION INCLUDES

A. Administrative and procedural requirements for Field

Engineering services, including, but not limited to
land survey work and Civil Engineering Services.

1.02 QUALITY ASSURANCE

A. Contractor shall engage a qualified land surveyor(s) to
perform the required land surveying services.
B. Contractor shall carry out a soil investigation. if any
findings conflict with those assumed by the Designer,
then foundations shall be adjusted accordingly.

C. Contractor shall engage a professional Engineer(s) to

perform the required engineering services including.

D. The engaged surveying and/or engineering team shall be

approved by the Engineer.

2. PART 2 - PRODUCTS

(Not Used)

3. PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.01 EXAMINATION

A. Verify accuracy of layout information shown on the

Drawings, in relation to the property survey and
existing benchmarks before proceeding to layout the
Work. Locate and protect existing benchmarks and
control points. Preserve permanent reference points
during construction.

1. Do not change or relocate benchmarks or control

points without prior written approval from the
Engineer. Promptly report lost or destroyed
reference points or requirements to relocate
reference points because of necessary changes in
grade, location or conflicting construction.

2. Promptly replace lost or damaged project control

points with prior approval of the Engineer.

Field Engineering
 Replacement of project control points shall be
based on original survey control points.
3. Establish and maintain the required number of
permanent benchmarks on the job site as directed by
the Engineer. Benchmarks shall be located from and
referenced to data established from survey control
points. Record benchmark location, with horizontal
and vertical data, on Project Record Documents.

B. Existing utilities and equipment

1. The existence and location of underground and other
utilities and construction indicated in the
Construction Documents as existing are not
guaranteed. Before beginning site work,
investigate and verify the existence and location
of underground utilities and other construction and
record this information on the relevant plan.

2. Prior to construction, verify the location and

invert elevation at points of connection to
sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water service
piping.
3.02 PERFORMANCE

A. General

1. Working from lines and levels established by the

property survey, establish benchmarks and reference
markers to set lines and levels at each story of
construction and elsewhere as needed to properly
locate each element of the Project. Calculate and
measure required dimensions within indicated or
recognized tolerances. Drawings shall not be scaled
to determine dimensions.

B. Surveyor's Log
1. Maintain a Surveyor's Log of control and other
survey work. Surveyor's Log shall be made available
for the Engineer reference.
2. Record deviations from required lines and levels,
and advise the Engineer when deviations that exceed
indicated or recognized tolerances are detected.
Contractor shall record on Project Record Drawings
deviations that are accepted and not corrected.

C. Site Works
1. Locate and lay out works, fill and topsoil

 placement, slopes and invert elevations by
instrumentation and similar appropriate means.
2. Prior to Substantial Completion, prepare a final
property survey showing significant features (real
property) for the Project. Include on the survey a
certification, signed by the Surveyor, to the
effect that principal metes, bounds, lines and
levels of Project are accurately positioned as
shown on survey.
