B.
The Final Master Plan, Design Development, and
Construction phase documents shall be based on
these surveys. Prepare the Design Development
phase and ensuing design drawings at the same
engineering scale as the surveys. Show detail layouts
at a scale sufficient to indicate the required work.
C. Resubmit the survey documents at each design phase
review and include them with the bidding documents
6.2
On the Topographic/Landscape Survey, include features
affecting site development, such as:
A.
Contours at a maximum interval of 500 mm (2 feet),
B.
Location and elevation of all roads, walks, underground
and over head utilities, existing buildings and
structures, all property lines, building line set-backs,
leases, or easements, trees, and
C. Identification of landscape material by size and
species.
6.3
On the Electrical Survey, include the locations of all
underground, overhead, and surface electrical utilities and
structures. Show size, depth, and top elevation of all
electrical structures, based on actual site investigation. For
electric utility lines, indicate type of service (primary or
secondary), number of ducts, voltage, phase and other
electrical data.
6.4
On the Civil/Mechanical Survey, include the locations of all
underground and surface civil and mechanical utilities and
structures. Show size, depth, invert and top elevation of all
utility structures, based on actual site investigation.
Indicate direction of flow and size of pipe for all sewers,
drains, and connecting lines between manholes.
6.5
Include a Soil Survey as part of the Structural requirements
for subsurface investigation in the A/E Submission
Instructions, PG-18-15D (Schematics 2). Analyze the soil
fertility, organic content, and pH measurement. Provide
water quality tests for irrigation. Reference AASHTO-T-86,
and local District Office of the U.S. Soil Conservation
Service Standards for procedures in obtaining the above
information. Utilize results from the study in making design
decision that include:
