The Consultant shall perform all research of private development plans adjacent to or affecting the Project site, as necessary, to secure the information, clearances, and/or plan review services required to identify, locate, and accurately layout all of the above underground improvements and easements, centerline, ROW, and private property lines. The selected Consultant shall be expected to determine what data sources are necessary to gather and by what date, and to prioritize the gathering of that data. Consultant shall research and review all previous work performed to date in the Project vicinity that impacts the design of the improvements, including but not limited to: • Existing improvement plans/engineering reports of record • Right-of-way mapping, ownership records (Title Reports) • Preliminary engineering and reports for this Project • Environmental clearance and mitigation measures • City/other agency engineering design standards, codes, and plan processing procedures • Existing topographic mapping, photos, reports, maintenance reports, "as -built" plans, record maps and surveys, study reports, assessor maps, contract documents, utility index maps, local street improvement/development plans and other pertinent data shall be obtained and reviewed. In case of conflict, ambiguities, discrepancies, errors, or omissions among the reference materials obtained by Consultant from other agencies, Consultant shall submit the matter to City for clarification. Any work affected by such conflicts, ambiguities, discrepancies, errors or omissions which is performed by Consultant prior to clarification by City shall be at Consultant's risk and expense. In event that non-standard features become apparent during the initial design, Consultant shall prepare the necessary design exceptions following Caltrans or SCRRA and the respective city's guidelines. The Consultant shall positively locate all, both high- and low -risk (pothole) utilities in conformance with Government Code 4216 to determine the depth and size for clearance and connection points or conflicts for any underground improvements, such as gas lines and services, electrical lines and services, signal, street lighting, communication lines and services, sewer lines and services, storm drains, or potable and non -potable water lines and services. The Consultant shall submit to each utility company a preliminary set of plans that provide the location, elevation of the utility, and the elevation of the improvement, with the conflict area clouded to show the utility companies the areas of conflict with the proposed improvement. Potholing information and plan shall be submitted to the City after completion of this task. If an area of possible conflict was not potholed during the project design phase and the City determines that additional potholing is required, the Consultant shall pothole the area to verify any conflicts at no additional cost to the City. Consultant and Subconsultants shall obtain necessary training including applicable rail safety program prior to performing field investigations. All said training shall be at the sole cost of the Consultant and at no additional cost to the City. The City expects that the selected team shall make the best use of existing data to minimize waste and duplication of work efforts.
