So im getting somewhere with the project. Got some questions answered. Usic has a sister company, bloodhound that does full locate and verification. Very reasonable pricing on this size project. This is like a preprelocate. Theyll come in the proposed paths and locate anything and everything, my quote is for 50 feet either side of the path. This will generate the gps cad file with extreme accuracy of everything. They will even use ground penetrating radar and other like methods to get pretty accurate tolerance. I will use this data to generate the proposal to the city for the easement and permit. That was a concern i had was they wanted me to specify my depth. Even if i called in a julie locate, they only offer 18 inch tolerance either way, so with a bunch of pipes and 36 inch paths it would be hard to give an accurate depth, im perpendicular so its just crossing them. Bloodhound will generate an accurate locate and that file will go to usic. Then i shouldnt have issue with the permit. After the fact, bloodhound comes in and generates a 3d gps cad of our duct that goes to the locate maps. Salesguy said this is becoming a manadatory process and i cant say i would disagree as rows become more congested it makes sense mapping has to be more accurate. I think this city may mandate this moving forward since theyre delayed on some sewer work from one of the big providers putting duct through the concrete verticals under their manholes.
