The final cost of each project will depend on <br />actual labor and material cost, competitive market conditions, final project scope, implementation <br />schedule, and other variable conditions. <br /> <br />INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY - THE CAS ADVANTAGE <br /> <br />CAS has extensive experience in subsurface utility engineering (SUE) and <br />employs the latest state-of-the-art technologies. In addition to traditional <br />methods of utility locating such as vacuum excavation (potholing), <br />electromagnetic (EM) induction for tonable utilities, and 2-D Ground <br />Penetrating Radar (GPR), CAS can utilize scanning technology known as 3-D <br />Radar Tomography for subsurface utility investigations. 3-D Radar <br />Tomography is a powerful scanning technology which provides for a <br />continuous 3-dimensional scan of subsurface utilities with high levels of <br />accuracy. CAS has utilized this technology in effectively locating subsurface <br />utilities in South Florida with proven results for over 20 years. <br /> <br />3-D Radar Tomography scanning provides continuous x,y,z positioning of buried utilities with great accuracy <br />(+/- 2inches horizontally and +/-6 inches vertically) along with the associated topographic profile (ground <br />surface elevations). The 3-D Radar Tomography unit is equipped with an array of 17 antennas that “cross <br />communicate” thus allowing for the level of accuracy stated above. Generally, utilities to a buried depth of <br />up to 20 feet can be identified by this technology and all pipe material type can be located, including <br />bends/fittings and offsets. Also, abandoned facilities and non-utility anomalies can be identified that could <br />potentially interfere with design elements. The use of this <br />technology can be especially beneficial for aged utility <br />areas where record drawings are poor or non-existent. The <br />implementation of 3-D Radar Tomography (3-D RT) to <br />water main relocation projects as proposed under this <br />contract offers a practical solution to this critical issue. <br />This allows for the generation of very accurate and <br />complete base maps which, in turn, accelerates the <br />design process delivering 60% design plans at a typical <br />30% design plan submittal. <br /> <br />The CAS Team’s experienced engineering staff, in-house survey and extensive utility locating capabilities <br />allows for the development of very accurate and complete basemaps for design of capital improvement <br />projects. There is no second guessing as to the location of existing buried utilities (both active and <br />abandoned), therefore greatly reducing or altogether eliminating change orders. This is the “CAS <br />ADVANTAGE”. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />92
