5723 NW 158th Street, Miami Lakes, Florida 33014* Tel.:(305)823-9316 CF: P24214 Page 4 of 6 o. If the Client requests prints and/or supplies beyond the specific use of this proposal, this service (s) shall be performed on a direct expense basis plus a 20% handling charge and be charged to the Client. Construction prints other than permit drawings are not part of this proposal. p. This agreement is to be considered and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. q. This proposal is good for 30 days, once the fees stipulated herein are approved, they will be in effect for a period of 1 year from date of acceptance at which time they are renegotiable. r. The services outlined within this proposal will be provided utilizing the guidelines and standards outlined within ASCE 38- 02. All efforts will be made to locate any and all underground utilities whether or not provided on as-built drawings. There are limitations to the use of electromagnetic prospecting and no guarantee can be made that all underground utilities will be detected and located. Soil conditions and utility material may limit the ability to locate utilities which are not depicted upon provided as-builts or record drawings. Additionally, utilities which are stacked on top of each other may pose difficulty in detection and locating. Electromagnetic methods such as induction have a possibility of providing a horizontal location which may or may not be exact due to bleed off on to other conductive materials. Nonconductive pipe materials can not be located with electromagnetic methods and can possibly be located using ground penetrating radar if information if available and other surface evidence is available as long as soil conditions allow. Limitations exist with regards to capabilities of the available technology, and its interaction with specific site conditions such as soil saturation and composition, additionally utility material and depth. The processes of designating underground utilities shall not be misconstrued as being an exact location, as it may be affected by site conditions. Shallow utilities may no be visible and therefore we do not guarantee that a utility line shallower than 1-foot will be located unless record drawing or visual observation is made and it can be traced electromagnetically. Care should be taken when excavating as the utility may be within 2-feet of any marking. If there is a need to know the exact location of the utility it is suggested that soft-digs shall be performed to establish exact location, material, diameter, and elevation. No facility found response to a request for SUE services shall not be understood as there are no utilities in situ. If a utility is not designated during the performance of the scope of this proposal it shall not be understood that no utilities are present. All care shall be taken during excavation and the contractor shall request a dig ticket from Sunshine 811, services provided by Robayna and Associates Inc shall not be used in lieu of the utility provided service. The undersigned shall hold harmless Robayna and Associates, Inc against any losses due to the limitations of the equipment. All arrangements regarding site access, traffic and parking control, and the clearing of surface obstructions from the area of investigation (if required) will be made by Client before and during the survey. We also assume that Client will assist in contacting and making available the appropriate utility representatives to be present, at our request, to provide access to and supervision during the evaluation of utility vaults, transformers, and/or any other confined space or hazardous area involving a utility (if required). Client will provide any required escort during site work and will assist Robayna and Associates, Inc. in gaining required security access (if needed). Client will make sure any temporary fencing will be moved in the areas of investigation prior to mobilization of field work. Client accepts that due to the density of utilities within the area of investigation, a significant amount of marking paint may be applied to the ground surface during the field designation of utilities. Robayna and Associates, Inc. is not responsible for moved, altered, or obliterated utility marks, or for maintaining utility marks beyond our initial investigation. If utility marks are destroyed and Client wishes to refresh them, Robayna and Associates, Inc. will impose an additional fee to relocate/remark utilities. This proposal assumes that our field crews will have unrestricted access to the entire project area during our field effort. This proposal also assumes that investigation activities can be performed during normal business daylight hours (Monday through Friday: 0700 – 1800). If night or weekend work is required, surcharges may apply and will be based on the amount of work required and any special requirements.
