warranting Level A test holes/locating. These amounts represent the anticipated total amounts of
Level C/D (records research), Level B (toning and designating), and Level A (test hole) that will be
associated with the Project.

Collection and Depiction of Existing Subsurface Utility Data”.
• Flagging and markings from the Level B efforts will be field surveyed and transferred to the
project base map to aid in the design.
• Each test hole will be field surveyed and transferred to the project base map to aid in the design.
Vertical information from the test hole will be plotted in the design profiles to facilitate the
determination of the vertical alignments of the Project’s proposed water lines and other subsurface
elements.
• The results of the Project’s SUE efforts will be incorporated into the Project’s base map and be
reflected in the plan sheets as applicable. Separate sealed SUE drawings will also be prepared
and included in the Project’s construction documents.
ASSUMPTIONS
• The Project will involve approximately 5,500 of Level C/D research for non-detectable utilities,
approximately 25,000 LF of Level B designating of detectable utilities, and approximately six (6)
Level A test holes.
