Specifications include, but are not limited to: Service Provider shall locate underground utilities at the request of Walton County in accordance and in compliance with Florida Statutes and Sunshine One-Call policies and procedures as they relate to the location of underground utilities. Primary services shall include but not be limited to physically locating underground infrastructure, verifying the location, ticket management, database storage and management, mapping and line location services for components of the County’s wastewater collection system and traffic signalization infrastructure; however, additional services related to other County infrastructure may be needed on an on-call basis. It shall be the responsibility of the Service Provider to: A. Provide sufficient qualified staff, office and field equipment, transportation, and supplies sufficient to fulfill its duties under this Agreement. B. Receive and record Locate Requests from the One-Call Locator Service Center during Service Provider’s normal business hours. C. Retain and safeguard County’s location maps and records. Records shall not be disclosed or made available to any person, firm, or corporation not approved by the County except as required by Law. D. Maintain records appropriate to support the invoicing and reporting requirements set forth in this Agreement. E. Provide additional services such as site surveillance and maintenance of marks and stakes if specifically requested to do so by the County. Prior to Service Provider’s commencement of any additional services, the County must specifically approve such additional services, and the costs charged will be at the rate specified in Exhibit B of this Agreement. Site surveillance services will be charged at the “Jobsite Observation” hourly rate, and maintenance of marks and stakes will be charged at the “Locate Rate”. F. Investigate for accuracy of the location of underground facilities any incidents of damage referred to Service Provider by County in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement. Service Provider shall submit to County a written report of such investigations. Upon County’s request, Service Provider shall give testimonial support in cases deemed necessary by County. Investigation of damage and testimonial support shall be charged at the hourly rate for “Jobsite Observation”; provided, however, that if the damage was a result of Service Provider’s failure to locate a locatable underground facility with reasonable accuracy, then Service Provider shall not be reimbursed for the charges. G. When an underground facility is identifiable but unlocatable, Service Provider shall contact County’s designated representative and advise the representative of the situation. County’s representative will determine the course of action to be taken. If no course of action is successful, Service Provider shall notify the County of the presence of any identifiable but unlocatable facilities and caution the County that any location information supplied may not be within the definition of reasonable accuracy.
