but not limited to land survey work and Civil Engineering or other 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.
E. The Client will identify benchmarks and property line and control points.

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. 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.
