Utility location information shall be obtained directly from the utility owner unless such means is not feasible. All utilities shall be identified as to owner, type, and size. All utilities shall be shown on the preliminary 60% design layouts, topographic survey maps, and tabulated using “Microsoft Excel” by reference to project stationing in accordance with the requirements of the “Utility Notification Law”, Minnesota Statute Section 216D.04. The Consultant shall contact the utility owners and use all customary procedures to review the existing locations and discuss all utility relocations necessitated by the future project construction as well as any other revisions to the utilities, or installation of new utilities, within the project limits which may be deemed desirable to accomplish in conjunction with the project construction or for which the Consultant has learned will be required in the future.

Conflicts The Consultant shall include all conflicts and required changes to existing utility facilities in the utility tabulation as mention above.
