Contracting a private utility locator service is not a guarantee that all utilities within a work site will be identified, but a service that is offered to lower the risk of the owner/client. ECS and our clients have had past success in avoiding utility conflicts by augmenting the North Carolina One Call services with a private utility locator service. Private utility locator services can identify utility alignments that incorporate significant iron content in the conduit materials. However, private utilities possessing the higher likelihood of not being easily identifiable, beyond the point of distribution, include all utilities not containing significant ferrous (iron) content (examples would include but not be limited to most sanitary sewer alignments, copper or PVC water lines, fiber optic lines without tracer ribbons, copper electric lines with no surface exposure, drainage tiles/pipes, and irrigation lines). Where a private locator service identifies a potential risk that is not traceable through conventional methods, ECS will notify the client immediately and work to resolve the issue. Additional costs related to the resolution of these potential utility conflicts will be invoiced out per our unit rates, as identified in this proposal, or as negotiated and approved at the time of the occurrence.

Site Restoration Upon completion of subsurface exploration drilling/test pitting, we will backfill each of the excavations with the excavated soil and mound the excess spoil back up over the test location. In pavement areas, we will patch the asphalt surface with a cold mix asphalt patch of an equivalent or greater thickness of asphalt. Typically, we will not provide site restoration beyond what is outlined above unless specifically contracted to do so. Alternatively, we will remove excess spoils from job sites and dispose of them in an approved manner for a negotiated fee. Please note that some disturbance to off-pavement surface areas, including the possible rutting of lawns, cutting of trees, running over of brush and understory in wooded areas might occur. We will attempt to minimize such disturbance; however, we have not budgeted for site restoration of the site including filling of tire ruts, seeding of lawn areas, or the planting of trees. If necessary, additional site restoration can be provided at an additional cost. Since clearing of site vegetation is required to access the proposed boring locations, please note that minimum 10-foot wide cleared paths will result. We will attempt to minimize disturbance, but felled trees and cleared underbrush should be anticipated in cleared paths. Our Cost Estimate does not include any restoration of cleared areas, moving/chipping of felled trees, etc. If there are any areas where clearing is not to be performed (such as in Resource Protection Areas (RPA) or other areas),those MillllI MiN 1 r l 1 ir)i)/ii (mmm a 1' J NN INNIIIIII NNIUNiI
