Details and technical data regarding the topographic equipment form endowment (which will be used) and working specific soft programs;

Guaranteed accuracy of surveys obtained for all methods applied with the equipment previously described.

All topographic surveys will be recorded in field journals, than inserted into plans, approved by Engineer. Plans production as often as required is considered part from topographic activity. All topographic activities will be approved by Supervising Consultant.

3.33.3 Measurements rendering

Before works starting, Engineer will transfer to Contracting Party all information and data used for project and the topographic surveys of The Contracting Party will be related to Horizontal and vertical Coordinate System defined in the previous paragraph.After data transferring, The Contracting Party will verify them (existence of triangulation points and of elevation marks, etc.). Field inspections will indicate if points were damaged or relocated. The Contracting Party will immediately inform Engineer about this fact and Engineer will give instructions if there are necessary to be used other reference points. If there are no objections from The Contracting Party regarding topographic basic network and relevant data in 60 days term after data transfer, the reference points and data are considered accepted by Entrepreneur.

Page 23: Traducere memoriu tehnic

Rehabilitation and Development of Water Distribution and ALLOTMENT DOCUMENTATIONHousehold Sewerage Systems in Agnita and Dumbraveni Towns Volume 3 : Employer’s requirements

Section 1 – Technical report and general

obligations

A project network composed of control points and elevation marks will be established by Entrepreneur for measurements facilitation – as part of works. The network will have at least the same quality and durability as the existing points network and will have a precision as required by European legislation. Precision and inspection of this precision of additional data and elevation marks will be established on the basis of accomplishment of at least 5 measurement series and respectively two closings, with necessary analyses and calculations of average value.

Basic points, elevation marks and transit stations of The Contracting PartyThe report which will be transmitted by Entrepreneur before measurements starting, will be composed from details of project’s proposed reference network and maps that will present points elevation marks location which will be established by Entrepreneur on all site as a base for the next measurements necessary for works completion. Points and elevation marks will permanently exist and will be executed in such a way as to be agreed by Engineer. The Contracting Party will detail the tolerances in horizontal and vertical plan for project’s reference coordinated systems in order to be approved by Engineer. The Contracting Party will set transit stations for central lines and for the control line of structures which requires frequent and ample measurements (for example pipes alignment and axes and locations of structures, etc.). If in Engineer’s opinion there are necessary additional data for points, elevation marks and transit stations, in order to be provided a precise and satisfactory cover of site for works accomplishment, he can instruct The Contracting Party to improve the locations of some points or to set additional points and The Contracting Party will conform to this instruction without requiring additional costs. The Contracting Party will execute measurements using precise methods of measure, will set points, elevation marks and transit stations in locations agreed by Engineer. The Contracting Party will be fully responsible for the accuracy of points and elevation marks. The Contracting Party will transmit to Engineer all data, estimations and calculations for each point, elevation mark and transit station of The Contracting Party, including a description of point and its physical state together with a table, its coordinates and marks, for three days for establishing of point ready to be used. Afterwards, Engineer may use anytime these points set by Entrepreneur for its own measurement. The Contracting party will be responsible for maintenance and protection of these points, elevation marks and transit stations during construction progress and regular there will be executed complete control measurements in order to confirm if these were not affected by construction activities or they were not damaged or relocated.

3.33.5 Approval of measurements realised by Entrepreneur

Before starting of any measurement work, The Contracting Party will inform Engineer in 7 days term (but no less) about its intention to start works. The Contracting party will indicate the scope of measurement, the area where these measurements will take place, involved structure or facilities, methods which will be applied and requirements related to time. These information are necessary in order to permit Engineer to coordinate measurements with other parallel works including with works of third parties. As a result of reception of all necessary information, if there are not special constraints, Engineer will give in two days the approval for starting. Anyway, if Engineer considers that exist constraints, it will accordingly advice Entrepreneur and will determine the staring date for respective works.
