Existing Utility Locations - Contractor's Responsibility
A. The location of existing underground services and utilities shown on the drawings is
based on available records. It is not warranted that all existing utilities and services are
shown, nor that shown locations are correct. The Contractor shall be responsible for
having the utility companies locate their respective utilities on the ground prior to
excavating.
To satisfy the requirements of New Hampshire law, RSA 374, the Contractor shall, at
least 72 hours, exclusive of Saturdays Sundays and holidays, prior to excavation in the
proximity of telephone, gas, cable television and electric utilities, notify the utilities
concerned by calling "DIG SAFE" at telephone number: 1-888-344-7233.
The Contractor shall coordinate all work involving utilities and shall satisfy himself as to
the existing conditions of the areas in which he is to perform his work. He shall conduct
and arrange his work so as not to impede or interfere with the work of other contractors
working in the same or adjacent areas.
Cutting, Fitting and Patching
The Contractor shall do all cutting, fitting, or patching of his work that may be required
to make its several parts come together properly and fit it to receive or be received by
work of other Contractors, as shown upon or reasonably implied by the drawings and the
specifications for the completed structure, including all existing work.
The Contractor shall not endanger any work by cutting, digging, or otherwise and shall
not cut or alter the work of any other Contractor, save with the consent of the Engineer.
All holes or openings required to be made in new or existing work, particularly at pipe,
conduit, or other penetrations not covered by escutcheons or plates shall be neatly
patched. All such holes shall be made completely watertight as approved by the
Engineer.
Size and locations of holes required in steel, concrete, or other structural or finish
materials for piping, wiring, ducts, etc., which have not been located and detailed on the
drawings shall be approved by the Engineer prior to layout and cutting thereof. All holes
shall be suitably reinforced as required by the Engineer.
Workmanship and materials of patching and repair work shall match the adjacent similar
work and shall conform to the applicable sections of the specification. Patches and joints
with existing work shall provide, as applicable in each case, visual, structural, and
waterproofing continuity.
