TERMS AND CONDITIONS

IF UTILITY LOCATING SERVICES are provided from our estimated scope of work the following considerations will apply:

Locate all “DETECTABLE” underground utilities using standard Electromagnetic (EM) utility locator as follows;

All main water supply lines and associated branch lines made of Conductive metal or water lines installed with a “tracer wire”.

Our services do not include irrigation lines and associated control valves unless specified on contract.

All sewer/waste lines/Storm Drains if access is available by electromagnetic location utilizing a 512 Hz sonde or by “line of site method” if no access is available. Any drain

size larger than 8” inches will require a special drain robot and subject to a higher rate.

All power lines. Our services do not include the location of abandoned/extra conduit containing no interior cable.

All Communication lines. Our services DO NOT include non-conductive fiber optic lines (lines without a metallic shield) not installed with a “tracer wire”.

All gas lines made of metal and gas lines installed with a “tracer wire”.

Indications found during utility locating will be marked directly on the surface utilizing the APWA Uniform Color Code. All Utility locating marks will be made in accordance

with the CGA Best Practices.

Depth measurements provided are “just estimates” and may vary based on a number of factors. The only way to really verify the exact depth of a utility is to POTHOLE

the line. If exact depth of a utility is required, potholing should be performed via vacuum excavation and is not part of this estimate. LOCAL LOCATING INC. does not have

the ability to locate utility specifically excluded by this document (non-conductive fiber optic line, etc.). Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is used in conjunction with standard

utility locating equipment and may be used to try to detect lines and is included in quote. Concrete scanning is an additional charge. Please contact us if you need these

lines included in your estimate of services.

When Performing Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for concrete/masonry structures is provided in our estimate. The following scope of work and considerations apply;

There shall be a minimum of 8 inches clearance around the perimeter of the scanning area to accommodate the size of device. Indications at structure intersections (wall

corners, wall to floor, Etc.) May be Impossible to locate if the antenna cannot pass over them. The scanning surface must be flat and relatively smooth. No Water shall be

present on the scanning surface and concrete shall not be less than 1 year old/Green concrete. Under the best conditions, GPR can penetrate up to 12 inches of

concrete/masonry. This maximum depth decreases as reinforcing steel congestion increases. The density of the material being scanned can also limit the depth of penetration.

GPR data, under most circumstances does not allow the interpretation of an indications size, only the center location of the indication and embedment depth. Indications

such as reinforcing steel or conduit spaced closer than two inches on center may show up as one indication.

When dealing with multiple layers of reinforcing steel or conduit, layers below the top layer (closest layer to the scanning surface) may be obscured from view. In most cases

our technicians can adjust the equipment to compensate for these solutions, but the result will depend on the size and spacing of the indications.
