Scope of Basic Services
for
Okaloosa County Water and Sewer System
FY 2015 Subsurface Utility Engineering Services
Article A. Purpose:
The purpose of this Task Order is to authorize and direct CONSULTANT (Constantine Engineering, Inc.) to
proceed with professional engineering services for providing subsurface utility engineering (SUE) services to
the Okaloosa County Water and Sewer Department (COUNTY). The activities that are included are
described in “Article B. Scope of Services.”
Article B. Scope of Services:
The CONSULTANT agrees to furnish general professional engineering and technical services that are
applicable to the Okaloosa County Water and Wastewater System Subsurface Utility Engineering Services
Project (PROJECT), as requested by the COUNTY ’s representative. The services that the CONSULTANT
agrees to furnish as part of this Task Order include, but are not limited to locating, verifying the location,
installing permanent markers, and acquiring data for components of the COUNTY’s water distribution and
wastewater collection systems. Specific work tasks that may be authorized by the COUNTY’s representative
are presented below.
Task 1. Water and Sewer Asset Subsurface Utility Engineering Services
CONSULTANT shall perform Quality Level A or B subsurface utility location verification services in
accordance with the American Society of Civil Engineering (ASCE) Standard 38-02 entitled Standard
Guidelines for the Collection and Depiction of Existing Subsurface Utility Data, Underground Facility
Damage Prevention and Safety Act, Florida Statute 556, Sunshine State One-Call of Florida Requirements,
and the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Subsurface Utility Locates for the Okaloosa County Water
and Sewer Department (Attachment A). These services shall be performed for the PROJECT based on criteria
developed with the COUNTY. CONSULTANT shall identify, interpret, verify, and field-mark buried water
and sewer pressure pipelines and valves (assets) using ground penetrating radar (GPR), vacuum excavation,
global positioning system equipment (GPS), and existing information and data available from the COUNTY.
Specifically, CONSULTANT shall perform the following services:
1.1 Attend meetings as requested by the COUNTY’s representative to identify the proposed work areas and
to review existing drawings, plans, and other information and data provided by the COUNTY of the
proposed work to evaluate the locations of buried water and sewer assets.
1.2 Initiate a Florida One-Call Ticket for the proposed work areas in a timely manner and in accordance
with State of Florida Regulations.

Identify the location of buried water and sewer assets in the proposed work areas using ground
penetrating radar (GPR)
Verify the centerline location and depth of selected buried water and sewer assets using metal probes
and vacuum excavation equipment as appropriate and in accordance with criteria established by the
COUNTY. A description of these two methods is presented below.
1.4.1 Metal Probes
CONSULTANT shall use a metal probe to verify the location and depth below the ground surface of the
centerline of select buried pipelines. If the ground is too dense to probe the pipe, a high pressure water
jet or vacuum excavation may be used to verify the location of the buried pipeline.
1.4.2 Vacuum Excavation
CONSULTANT shall use a vacuum excavator to excavate select buried pipelines. These pipelines shall
be excavated to verify the location of the pipeline and to collect specific information about the buried
pipeline, including the diameter of the pipeline, the pipeline material, and as requested by the
COUNTY, the depth below the ground surface.
Install permanent markers that the COUNTY can use to locate buried assets in the future. The protocol
that CONSULTANT shall use to identify and mark the location of buried assets is presented below.
1.5.1 Buried Pipes Under Asphalt or Concrete
Buried assets located under asphalt of concrete shall be marked with a blue or green paint stripe.
CONSULTANT shall not perform subsurface verification activities, but shall install a permanent marker
to identify the location of the buried asset by installing an 8- or 12-inch long galvanized spike (nail) with
a 5/8-inch galvanized washer.
1.5.2 Buried Pipes Under Sand or Grass
Buried assets located under sand or vegetation (grass, weeds, sod, etc.) shall be marked using either a
blue or green paint strip. CONSULTANT shall verify the location of the buried asset using a metal
probe or vacuum excavation and shall install a 12-inch diameter, 12-inch long rebar with an orange
OCWS identification button provided by the COUNTY. The rebar marker shall be driven into the soil
above the centerline of the pipeline to a depth of about 2 inches below the natural ground surface.
1.5.3 Buried Valves
Water valves buried under asphalt or concrete shall be marked with blue paint.
CONSULTANT shall identify the spatial location (Northing and Easting) of buried water and sewer
assets using real-time corrected (Omni-Star) sub-meter GPS equipment. Location information shall be
stored in a digital storage device that is capable of uploading the information into the COUNTY’s
geographic information system (GIS).
CONSULTANT shall collect information and data about buried water and sewer assets using digital
storage equipment and pipeline diameter measuring tools. Specific information and data that shall be
collected will be in accordance with the established GIS data storage protocol. Some information and
data listed in the Data Dictionary are not available from field investigations and will not be collected.
The data collected in this task shall be stored using a digital storage device that can be uploaded into the
COUNTY ’s GIS system. COUNTY supplied software may be required to fully convert the data into files
for final conversion in the COUNTY’s GIS.
Task 2. GIS Inventory Mapping
CONSULTANT will collect information and data including horizontal data, component locations (x, y
coordinates) for fire hydrants, master water meters, water service meters, water storage tanks, water wells,
valves, and other appurtenances, pressure sewer air-relief valves, valves and other sewer appurtenances
requested by the COUNTY’s representative. Specifically, CONSULTANT shall perform the following
services:
TASK ORDER 12— OKALOOSA COUNTY WATER AND SEWER SYSTEM
FY 2015 SUBSURFACE UTILITY ENGINEERING SERVICES PROJECT
2.1 CONSULTANT will perform a geospatial mapping survey and inventory of water and sewer assets in
the proposed work areas identified by the COUNTY’s representative. This activity includes physically
locating the specific components of the water and sewer systems and recording their horizontal locations
using a real-time corrected (Omni-Star), sub meter GPS equipment. The components of the water system
to be inspected and located using GPS include fire hydrants, master water meters, water service meters,
water storage tanks, water wells, and valves and the unknowns indicated in the existing COUNTY GIS
database.
Task 3. Manhole Mapping
CONSULTANT will perform general manhole mapping and collect information and data including
horizontal data, component locations for sewer manhole rim elevations and manual tape reading of line
inverts at manhole and lift station junctions. Specifically, CONSULTANT shall perform the following
services:
3.1 CONSULTANT will take digital photographs of each manhole using a specialized camera extension,
“camera ona stick.” This information will be used to provide pipe types, pipe diameter and flow
directions. In addition, observations will be made to determine if any opposite flow or flat grade sewers
are present.
3.2 No manholes will be physically entered by field inspection personnel.
3.3 Manhole in-flowing and out-flowing pipe elevations will be manually obtained and measuring from the
manhole rim elevation using a tape measure with 0.1 feet accuracy. A manhole diagram will be prepared
showing all pipe entrance, sizes, depths and their respective angles from noted reference mark on rim.
Task 4. Standard of Care
The Scope of Services included in this task order include subsurface utility engineering services to locate,
verify the location, and mark the location of buried water and sewer assets. COUNTY is experienced and
knowledgeable in the performance of these services and understands that inherent risks exist when the Scope
