Mon. Pres. (Sect 8771) - Responsibility

Post by PLS7393 »

So who's responsibility is it when a County (or City) performs a pavement overlay?
It has always been my interpretation that the County Surveyor (county project), or the City Surveyor (city project) is responsible to prepare Pre-Construction Corner Records to preserve such controlling monuments before the pavement rehab takes place?

Your thoughts (and interpretations) on this???

Either prepare the CRs with in house staff, or spec the Contractor to hire a land surveyor to do the same.
