density of layout will be at the discretion of the Contractor, but not in conflict with the Engineer's <br />ability to verify accuracy of the construction engineering. <br />3. All construction engineering shall be performed by the Contractor, with all required materials <br />provided by the Contractor at his expense. Construction engineering shall include re-establishing <br />the survey points and survey centerlines; referencing the necessary control points; running a level <br />circuit to confirm plan elevations and to establish elevations on new benchmark tablets; setting <br />stakes for right-of-way, culverts, slopes, subsurface drains, paving, subgrade, curb, headwalls, <br />structures and all other stakes required for control lines and grades; and setting vertical control <br />elevations for such. This information shall be used to verify that the planned alignment and <br />elevations will match existing conditions. Required alignments and elevations will be shown on the <br />plans. Prior to incorporating established grades, the Contractor will be required to determine that <br />all other planned elevations are in accordance with field conditions. The profiling of existing <br />pavements beyond tie-in points for proper ride, profiling of existing ditches for proper flow, and <br />visual observations that driveways or sidewalks may be constructed satisfactorily will be required. <br />All discrepancies shall be brought to the immediate attention of the Engineer. All changes in the <br />design due to major discrepancies brought to the attention of the Engineer will be provided by the <br />Owner. Field adjustments that do not affect the design shall be made by the Contractor and the <br />Engineer shall be notified. Adequate control stationing shall be maintained throughout the project <br />limits of construction. <br />4. The Contractor shall be responsible for providing positive drainage for all aspects of this project. <br />5. Field notes shall be kept in field note books in a clear, orderly, and neat manner consistent with <br />standard engineering practices, including titles, number, and indexes. Such notebooks shall <br />adequately document all survey information. Copies of field notes shall be furnished to the Engineer <br />upon request during the contract time. The original field notes shall become the property of the <br />Owner upon completion of the work. Such field notes shall be bound. All pages shall be numbered <br />before submission to the Owner. <br />6. The Owner or Engineer will make all measurements and surveys that involve the determination of <br />final pay quantities, including original and final cross sections. The accuracy of the construction <br />engineering may be checked as necessary, but responsibility for the accuracy of engineering layout <br />will be the Contractor's. <br />7. The supervision of the Contractor's construction engineering personnel shall be the responsibility <br />of the Contractor. All errors resulting from the operations of such personnel shall be corrected with <br />no additional payment. <br />8. As -Built information shall be submitted by the Contractor for the project as follows: <br />a. General Requirements <br />(1) Deviations from the original construction drawings shall be shown in the same general <br />detail utilized in the original drawings. <br />(ii) A copy of the plans shall be continuously updated (hand marked) on -site as construction <br />proceeds and available for inspection by the City of South Bend Board of Public Works or <br />their authorized representative. <br />(iii) If any significant changes, as deemed so by the City of South Bend or its authorized <br />representative, are made to the plans during construction the as -built drawings shall be re- <br />drafted to reflect the change(s). <br />(iv) Only computer generated corrections will be accepted on the final sets (electronic) of as - <br />built drawings. No handwritten strike -outs or corrections will be accepted. The final set of <br />as -built drawings shall be clearly stamped "ASBUILT" and dated with the date of <br />production. They shall also be stamped and certified by a professional engineer or <br />professional land surveyor. <br />(v) The City reserves the right to utilize some or all of the retainage held for a project to <br />complete as -built drawings if they are not submitted within twenty-one (21) calendar days <br />of the substantial completion date of the project. No retainage will be released until the as - <br />built drawings are approved. <br />9. Electronic as -built requirements: <br />a. One (1) set of as -built drawings shall be submitted in PDF format <br />b. As -built drawing format shall meet all requirements set forth in drawing Section 1-11.1(c) of the <br />City of South Bend's Design and Construction Standards. <br />Version 9/1/2025 Page - 7 Public Works Quote <br />
