(TCG) STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES Subsurface Utility Locates for Okaloosa County Water and Sewer TCG SUE Crews will perform their services in accordance with the requirements of the Sunshine State One Call of Florida (SSOCOF), as well as the Underground Facility Damage Prevention and Safety Act, Florida Statute 556, the American Society of Civil Engineering (ASCE) standard 38-02 entitled Standard Guidelines for the Collection and Depiction of Existing Subsurface Utility Data, and TCG’s Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Utility Locates for Okaloosa County. Copies of these documents are attached. Guidelines for Marking Underground Facilities: When responding to a ticket, insure a copy of the SSOCOF Excavators Guide is present (either on your person or inside vehicle). It is the responsibility of the TCG Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) crews to become well versed with the law and SOP’s regarding Underground Damage Prevention. The crews will conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times. We not only represent TCG, but we represent the Okaloosa County Water & Sewer Department and any other entity that employs our services. For TCG to have long-term relationship with our customers, much depends on our ability to provide a quality service that is equal to or greater than our customer's expectations. In general, TCG’s approach to locating buried assets is to use GPR to locate buried assets. Our procedures include: e Review all existing drawings to identify possible utility locations. e Visually Inspect manholes, junction boxes, valves, hydrants, and other assets to establish possible pipe diameters, depths, and the general direction that utilities are heading. e Use of Electro Magnetic methods to locate and trace metallic/conductive utilities and other unknown obstructions. e Use of Ground Penetrating Radar to scan the area for non-conductive utilities and other unknown obstructions. e Perform utility verification using metal probes and post-hole diggers. Under limited circumstances vacuum excavation or hydro-vacuum excavation to verify utility locations and determine the exact depth, size, and material type of a utility may be required. Procedures for Responding to a Ticket: 1. After receiving the ticket by e-mail or hard copy (paper), you will complete the ticket within two business days. 2. If the site cannot be located within the timeframe allotted, contact contractor to inform them of the circumstances and code the ticket appropriately. For example: a) Work load does not permit you to complete the ticket in the allotted time. b) Debris, trees, vehicles etc. are in the way.
