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:
