Common use of Utility Clearance Clause in Contracts

Utility Clearance. Prior to drilling or excavating, we will contact North Dakota One Call and arrange for notification of the appropriate utility vendors to mark and clear the exploration locations of public underground utilities. You, or your authorized representative, are responsible to notify us before we begin our work of the presence and location of any underground objects or private utilities that are not the responsibility of public agencies. As requested, we will drill 2 standard penetration test (SPT) borings for the project, extending them to 10 feet. Standard penetration tests will be performed continuously in the upper 5 feet and at 2 1/2-foot vertical intervals at greater depths. We will collect bag samples from the auger cuttings of the subgrade for laboratory testing. If the borings encounter groundwater during or immediately after drilling each boring, we will record the observed depth on the boring logs. If the intended boring depths do not extend through unsuitable material, we will extend the borings at least 5 feet into suitable material at greater depths. The additional information will help evaluate such issues as excavation depth, consolidation settlement, and foundation alternatives, among others. If we identify a need for deeper (or additional) borings, we will contact you prior to increasing our total estimated drilled footage and submit a Change Order summarizing the anticipated additional effort and the associated cost, for your review and authorization. After completing the soil borings, the borings will be backfilled with cuttings and patched with cold-mix asphalt. Over time, subsidence of borehole backfill may occur, requiring surface grades to be re-leveled or patches to be replaced. ▇▇▇▇▇ Intertec is not assuming responsibility for re-leveling or re-patching subsequent to initial backfilling and patching long term. Recovered samples will be returned to our laboratory, where they will be visually classified and logged by a geotechnical engineer. To help classify the materials encountered and estimate their engineering properties, we have budgeted to perform moisture content tests, a mechanical analysis (through a #200 sieve only), an Atterberg limits test, a sieve hydrometer analysis, a modified ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ test, and a California Bearing Ratio test. We will adjust the actual number and type of tests based on the results of our borings.

We will core pavements at 3 of the soil boring locations. The cores will be extracted and visually evaluated. Thicknesses and pavement condition within the cores will be reported. We understand this work will take place when temperatures are above freezing. After completing the soil borings, the borings will be backfilled with cuttings and patched with cold-mix asphalt.
