Additional Notes, Fees & Exclusions:
(*) All mobilization is charged portal to portal. This estimate is valid for 90 days. ● This estimate includes the provision for prevailing wage. Prevailing Wage rates are set by the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) and subject to change annually per DIR regulations. Federal prevailing wage rates will also apply if applicable. ● DIR Determination: SC-102-1184-1 Craft: Horizontal Directional Drilling (Laborer) was used for the purpose of estimating Potholing and Locating Services ● DIR Determination: SC-23-102-2 Craft: Laborer and Related Classifications was used for the purpose of estimating Traffic Control Services ● If the Determinations used for the purposes of this estimate are not correct for your project, you must notify AirX Utility Surveyors Immediately so we can revise the estimate.
● This is an estimate only based on limited information provided. Adjustments, changes and response to actual field conditions may incur added costs. Final invoicing will reflect actual work hours performed, materials utilized and services provided. ● Utility Locating: Minimum charge of 2 man hours for Locating. AirX makes our best effort to find all utilities, but cannot guarantee that all utilities will be located. Utilities must be potholed to guarantee location. It is requested that the Client provide to AIRX any documentation and map research of indexes and databases that are available for additional research and information and to facilitate the locating process. AirX uses the latest in Electro-Magnetic, Sonic and Ground Penetrating Radar Technologies to pinpoint underground utilities. Our staff are experts in and employ more traditional methods as well such as dipping manholes, visual explorations, fish-tape, duct rods, and CCTV. AIRX locators will review all information, identify and mark out utilities as they exist in the field, making note of changes, inconsistencies or unverified data. Any conflicts within the proposed project, inconsistencies or missing data in mapping are then targeted for additional research, usually by potholing. AIRX will mark and utilize surface features or appurtenances that are directly associated with any marked utilities in question. It is recommended that all utility mark out and associated surface features be recorded by way of survey and incorporated into maps for the most comprehensive base mapping available. ● Utility Locating Limitations: AirX will make every effort to locate and mark-out the utilities in the requested area in the time allowed. However, AirX cannot guarantee that all utilities can be located. Some limitations exist with locating methods based on the type of soil conditions encountered: Heavy cobble, groundwater, rock or dense clay soil conditions and buried debris that may render locating useless. Closely aligned but unrelated facilities may distort the surface field manifestations and yield phantoms or null fields. If adverse conditions are encountered AirX will cease the current operation and attempt to contact the client for further directions. AirX requires access to as many as-built drawings, architectural site and building plans as can be acquired. Utility mark out will reflect the alignment and horizontal positioning of the utility only. Estimated depth determinations for this project can be provided but are not considered reliable due to the number of interfaces penetrated and actual depths should only be determined through potholing or submarine visual measurement. State law dictates that any excavations near buried utilities are researched thoroughly to confirm location and depth with the use of soft dig technology (vacuum excavation) prior to actual excavation taking place. ● Client to facilitate access to site and utility cabinets or facilities in the area. AirX also requests copies of available as-built maps relating to the project.
● Potholing and Excavation rate applies to typical conditions of asphalt or concrete surface material 6" - 8" in depth and digable soil conditions.
Excessive surface material, concrete beneath asphalt, cobble, dense clay, CTB base, slurry, caliche or other medium will be charged at the hourly rate listed on this estimate.
● Utility Locating: Minimum charge of 2 man hours for Locating. AirX makes our best effort to find all utilities, but cannot guarantee that all utilities will be located. Utilities must be potholed to guarantee location.
Please Note: AIRX was contacted to locate all facilities on the site for mapping purposes to aid the client for design. However, AIRX is not a representative of any stake holder in this geographic location, so this mark out does not qualify as a substitute for One Call or Dig Alert; which is a requirement prior to any excavation by law. The only recourse is to positively identify the facility by potholing which would allow for the precise measurement of an outside diameter. AIRX makes every effort to try and determine all attributes of the facilities involved but some data can only be determined through potholing.
● Utility Re-Marking: Utilities previously marked and subsequently lost due to conditions beyond our control shall not be the responsibility of AIRX. Re-marking will be charged at the utility locating rate indicated on this estimate. ● Traffic control and Right of Way plan drawing is on 11"x17" sheets. If D Sheets are required, additional fees will apply. ● Permit fees for right of way or traffic control permit review and deposits, are in addition to the Estimate Total. These fees will be paid by AirX and charged back to the Client at cost plus 10%. This includes any deposits, bonds, or other associated fees that may be required. AirX cannot guarantee turn-around times for permit process.
● Standard traffic control includes all signs, cones, barricades, sign stands and caution tape and 1 arrow-board unless otherwise specified.
Specialty equipment such as non-typical signage, crash barrels, message boards or K-Rail are additional. ● AirX can provide certified flagman or additional laborers as needed at a rate of $175 per man/hour. ● Patching: Pricing allows for AC Cold Patch, Quick Set Concrete or a quality permanent patch with Aquaphalt only. Use of Aquaphalt product is dependent upon agency acceptance and guaranteed for 3 years. Please request quote if other patching material or AC Hot Mix/Grinding is required.
● Railroad Right of Way: Railroad Protective Liability Insurance will be required for all work within railroad right of way and may require Railroad-designated flagging and utility mark-out personnel. Coordination of personnel may affect schedule of work. Final fees will be paid for by AIRX and charged back to the Client at cost plus 10%. ● Hazardous Spoils: Testing, Storage, and Disposal of any material, hazardous or otherwise, will incur additional charge and based on project requirements. If required, fees will be paid for by AirX and charged back to the Client at cost plus 10%. ● If air excavation is used, pricing assumes that spoils will be placed back into the hole onsite as backfill. If offsite disposal is required, an additional fee will incur.
● Specialty training due to project requirements may incur added time and cost and affect schedule of work. ● Work within Caltrans, railroad, environmentally sensitive or contaminated areas may incur additional costs. ● Night work, if required, will incur additional cost for balloon lighting, generators and barricade lights. ● All rates are based on a standard 40-hour work week. Overtime, doubletime or holiday rates will apply if applicable. ● TERMS: All invoices are due and payable NET 30 days from date of invoice, plus 1.5% per month thereafter Authorization:
