1.   Provide and pay for site engineering services required for project.
a.   Survey work required in execution of project.
b.   Civil structural or other professional Engineering services specified, or required.

2.   The Owner will identify existing control points and property line corner stakes indicated on the drawings, as required.

B.         Related work specified elsewhere:
1.   General conditions of contract, setting out.
2.   Section 01110: Summary of work.

1.02     QUALITY ASSURANCE.

A.         Qualifications of surveyor or .

B.         Qualified Engineer or registered land surveyor, acceptable to the Owner.

1.03     SURVEY REFERENCE POINTS

B.         Locate and protect control points prior to starting site work, and preserve all permanent reference points during construction.
1.   Make no changes or relocations without prior written notice to Owner.
2.   Report to Owner when any reference point is lost or destroyed or requires relocation because of necessary changes in grades or locations.
3.   Require surveyor to replace project control points which may be lost or destroyed.
a. Establish replacements based on original survey control.

1.04 PROJECT SURVEY REQUIREMENTS

A.         Establish a minimum of two permanent bench marks on site, referenced to data established by survey control points.
1.   Record location with horizontal and vertical data on project record documents.


2.   Contractor shall base all measurements of the construction, both horizontal and vertical from established bench marks. All work shall agree with these established lines and levels. Contractor shall verify all measurements at site and check the correctness of same as related to the work. Should the Contractor discover any discrepancy between actual measurements and those indicated which prevent following good practice of the intent of the drawings and specifications, he shall notify the Owner and shall not proceed with his work until he has received instructions from the Owner.

1.05     LAYOUT AND SURVEY

2.   Employ a surveyor licensed to practice at the place of building to:
a.   Lay out building on site
b.   Establish permanent bench mark, or markers as widely separated as possible.
c.   Verify elevations of floor levels as construction proceeds, and relate to bench mark datum.
d.   Verify that present or known future restrictions are not violated by construction on the site or lines of traverse to all public utilities.
e.   Correlate geodetic elevation of bench mark datum with elevations in use by public utilities adjacent to the works.
f.    Verify accuracy of site dimensions shown on drawings.
g.   Provide a survey to verify location of building on site.
3.   Work adjacent to public property:
Pay all charges made by public bodies for the rental of public property and for work required on public property.
