I used APS'to locate underground utilities on my last watermain replacement project and I was very pleesed with the results. The work was thorough and very accurate. APS locsted all non-city underground utilides and paint marked the locations. This service is very useful in the design phase, since the utiiity companles do not want to do a dial-dig locate for design phace. I incl�.ded the APS location work in the surveyor's scope af work. ThLs c�ay APS was a sub-conkgMor to the surveyor. This way I did not have to 1�assle with trying to contract the work, and having the surveyor contract this:ervice permltted the surveyor to coordinate hLs schedule wlth APS. That way the utillty paint marks did not get wa:hed away before the surveyor rnuld survey them. Herc is how the APS services were charged on my Water MaLt Replacement project: Oly�npic & Crown: 3.685 I.f. ......................10 hours � $60/hr = S 600 View Drive: 2,0461.f. ....................... 8 hours �S60/hr = S 480 Maplc Street: 2,1781.f. ........................ 6 hours�S60/hr = S 360 TOTAL: 7,9091.f. 24 hours �$60/hr = S1,440 I thought this was a very reasonable fec for the one:md a half miles of utility locates. APS can aLso locate Asbestos Cement (AC) pipe by using ground penetrating radar(GPR). GPR is usunlly used in coqjunction with potholing tor more accurate results. APS dces potholing using their air vacuum method and a small 12" dta hole. 7'hey provide t6eir own itagging and they bac�ll with whatever you request, from native to CDF or other patching products. Costs[or pothaling range from about S150 to S200 for a 4 foot to 5 foot depth. The City of Bellewe is haviag APS pothole traffic signa! pole locations. Their small hole, or tmnch, can locate utillty confllcts wit6out disturbing surrounding suppoMing soil. The APS people agreed to come here and give us a talk on their equipment and services, If you are interested, I k�ll try to schedule a presentation. Please drop me a note or send me an E-mail if you are interested in having APS give us a presentation. � ��L
