RFQ NO. 20-07-01 – CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING SERVICES (CCNA) <br />SURVEYING AND MAPPING SERVICES / GEOTECHNICAL SERVICES <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Maser Consulting <br />FDOT DISTRICT 1, D/W SUBSURFACE UTILITY DESIGNATE, LOCATE AND COORDINATION <br />Bartow, FL <br /> <br />Description of Work Performed: <br />Maser Consulting was selected for an intersection and <br />street lighting improvement contract within a known <br />congested utility corridor. The project consisted of minor <br />intersection improvements, lighting upgrades, and other <br />miscellaneous traffic operations and safety improvements. <br />Our team is responsible for completing all designating, <br />locating and ground penetrating radar services for existing <br />surface and subsurface utilities in support of the design <br />and construction. Our associates provided Quality Level B <br />(2-D collection of existing utilities or selected 3-D <br />verification) and Quality Level A (obtaining 3-D location, <br />size, type and condition of existing utility through non- <br />destructive utility excavation) Subsurface Utility <br />Engineering in accordance with ASCE/CI 38-02. Maser <br />Consulting utilized a variety of geophysical prospecting <br />equipment including but not limited to: variable frequency <br />Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems, single and <br />multi-frequency radio-frequency pipe and cable <br />locators(PCLs), sondes, and sub-aqueous utility detection <br />equipment to accurately designate utilities. Maser staff <br />have received extensive training in designating toneable <br />and non-toneable utilities, as well as safely exposing and <br />locating existing facilities on each of the project <br />assignments. This contract involved multiple utilities <br />located within congested right of ways. Due to the utility congestion, it is critical to follow an ordered <br />process to avoid bleed-over situations and other inaccuracies when designating utilities. <br /> <br />Maser’s designating process begins with identifying and <br />marking the most conductive utilities such as communications <br />and cable television utilizing a RD8100 PCL. It is important to <br />identify these utilities first as they are the most likely utilities to <br />cause bleed-over. An RD5000 high-frequency PCL is used for <br />locating metallic pipes with gasketed joints. GPR is also used <br />during all designating activities to investigate for unknown <br />utilities, non-toneable/non-conductive utilities, and subsurface <br />obstructions after all toneable utilities have been identified. <br />Vacuum excavation was used on this contract to provide clearings for sign and lighting foundations as <br />well as identify size, material, depth, and condition of existing utilities found to be in conflict with the <br />design. Maser’s vacuum excavation equipment is custom manufactured to provide exceptional <br />performance in a small package on a smaller chassis than many other vacuum excavation units to safely <br />expose utilities, allow more versatility, and reduce impacts to sidewalks and greenways. <br />Client Reference <br />FDOT District 1 <br />Joseph C.
