FOR
CONTRACTOR STAKING
PROJECT NH 0018(260)425, PCN 06G3
TURNER COUNTY
SEPTEMBER 28, 2026
Delete Section 5.8 of the specifications and insert the following:
SECTION 5.8
CONSTRUCTION STAKES, LINES AND GRADES
CONTRACTOR GRADE STAKING
A. DESCRIPTION
The Contractor will perform all construction staking. The staking work includes, but
is not limited to, establishing or re-establishing the project centerline; establishing
control points and benchmarks as needed; setting additional benchmarks as
needed; taking original and final cross sections of all Contractor secured borrow
sources and State designated borrow sources; taking cross sections of all topsoil
stockpiles; and staking right-of-way, easements, and fence.
The Contractor will perform all construction layout and reference staking necessary
for the accurate control and completion of all grading, paving, drainage, median
crossovers, signing, pavement marking, permanent benchmarks, detours, fence,
and all other appurtenances required for the complete construction and
acceptance of the work. The layout will include, but is not limited to, staking
easement line, staking clearing line, grade staking (blue tops), and performing the
miscellaneous staking as described in the plans and in this specification.
Horizontal and vertical control has been established as shown on the plans. Each
horizontal and vertical control point will be preserved or reset out of the work limits
and available during and after construction is complete. Prior to the Department’s
final acceptance of the project, the Contractor will replace or reset any control that
is disturbed during the construction of the project. The Contractor will provide the
Department a list of the in-place control points, including coordinates and
elevations relevant to the project control, at the end of the project.
94131326.docx 2
The Contractor will perform the staking work in accordance with the Department’s
Survey Manual, except as modified by this specification.
B. MATERIALS
The Contractor will furnish all staking materials of adequate quality for the purpose
intended including all stakes, stake chasers, paint, field note books, and all other
materials and equipment necessary to perform the required work.
C. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
1. General: The Contractor will perform all staking work under the supervision of
a qualified surveyor or engineer who is experienced and competent in road and
bridge construction surveying and staking. The surveyor or engineer will be
available to review work, resolve problems, and make decisions in a timely
manner. A crew chief, competent to perform all required surveying duties, will
supervise the staking in the absence of the surveyor or engineer from the
project. The Contractor will submit the qualifications and work experience
history of the surveyor or engineer who will supervise the construction survey
work to the Engineer for review at least 14 calendar days prior to beginning the
staking work.
The Contractor will also submit the proposed starting date of the staking and
the anticipated surveying work schedule.
The Contractor will furnish, set, and properly reference all stakes, references,
lines, grades, and batter boards required. Minimum reference notations will be
for type, location, and alignment (when there are multiple alignments in the
same area). The Contractor will perform the survey and staking work in a
manner consistent with standard engineering practices and approved by the
Engineer.
The Contractor is solely responsible for the accuracy of the survey and staking
work. The Contractor will notify the Engineer of any errors and discrepancies
found in previous surveys, plans, specifications, or special provisions prior to
proceeding with the survey work.
The Contractor will be responsible for the supervision of the construction
staking personnel. The Contractor will correct any deficient survey or staking
work that results in construction errors at no additional cost to the Department.
The Contractor will keep field notes in conventional handwritten notebooks or
in a computerized form acceptable to the Engineer in a clear, orderly, and neat
manner. The notebooks will become the property of the Department upon
completion of the project. The notebooks will provide enough information such
94131326.docx 3
that quantity measurements are verifiable by the Department. Field notes are
subject to inspection by the Engineer at any time.
The Contractor is required to submit any remaining required quantity
calculations and notes to the Engineer no later than 60 calendar days after
completion of the survey and staking work.
The Department will set reference control points. The Contractor is responsible
for the preservation of ties and references to all control points necessary for the
accurate re-establishment of all base lines and centerlines shown in the plans,
whether established by the Contractor or found on or adjacent to the project.
The Department will also establish benchmark elevations. It is the responsibility
of the Contractor to verify the accuracy of the benchmark elevations prior to
use on the project.
The Contractor will furnish stakes and wooden hubs or steel pins of sufficient
length to provide a solid set in the ground. The Contractor will place half-length
lath stakes or stake chasers or an alternate, acceptable to the Engineer,
adjacent to or on the blue top hubs for guards. Stakes set not meeting these
requirements will be reset at the Contractors expense. The Contractor will
replace stakes damaged, destroyed, illegible, or made unusable at no
additional expense to the Department.
The Engineer may check the accuracy and control of the Contractor's survey
and staking work at any time. The checks performed by the Engineer will not
relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for the accuracy of the survey layout
or the construction work. If the random checks show the grade is out of
tolerance, the Engineer may require the Contractor to set additional stakes at
the discretion of the Engineer, at no additional cost to the Department. If the
Engineer orders additional stakes, the Contractor will perform the additional
staking until the Contractor can show the staking operations achieve the
specified grade tolerances.
Prior to any project staking, the Contractor will run a level circuit to check the
plan benchmarks the full length of the project.
2. Grade Staking: The Contractor will set grade finishing stakes (blue tops) for
grade elevations and horizontal alignment on the roadway centerline and at
each shoulder at the top of the subgrade. Where additional lanes or turnouts
are to be constructed, the Contractor will set blue tops at centerline, the normal
shoulder distance, and the extended shoulder distance or outside the additional
lane edge.
The transverse distance between blue tops will not exceed 20 feet. The
Contractor will be required to set intermediate blue tops when the transverse
distance is greater than 20 feet. When intermediate blue tops are required, the
94131326.docx 4
Contractor will set the intermediate blue tops at locations approved by the
Engineer.
The blue top grade stakes will be set at 100-foot intervals on tangents and 50-
foot intervals on horizontal curves. The horizontal tolerance for blue tops is ±0.2
foot and the vertical tolerance is ±0.02 foot.
The Contractor will retain the shoulder blue tops and guards through placement
of the granular material.
The Contractor will not be required to set grade stakes at the top of the base
course. If the Contractor deems it necessary to place grade stakes to achieve
typical section as per section 260.3 A of the specifications, the staking will be
incidental to the contract unit price for base course.
The Department will not provide grade stake notes. The Contractor is
responsible to generate the grade staking notes using the typical sections and
the existing field conditions.
3. Miscellaneous Staking: Miscellaneous staking includes the following work:
a. Easement line for items including, but not limited to, setting temporary
fence, utility relocation, and landowner reference and property use;
b. Clearing line for items identified by the clearing contract unit item when
provided in the plans;
c. Approach road staking and all tie-in checks. The Contractor will submit
profiles and elevations of all approach roads and other tie-ins throughout
the project to the Engineer at least 3 business days prior to staking;
d. Topsoil measurement and computation of quantities;
e. Special ditch staking;
f. Staking of signs, delineators, pavement markings, guardrail, curb & gutter,
light poles, conduit, junction boxes, and related items (Staking is for all
aspects, i.e. detours, temporary and permanent);
g. Right-of-way staking including fence post panels;
h. Pipe and storm sewer staking including drop inlets, manholes, cattle
passes, and related items. If additional pipe, storm sewer, drop inlets,
manholes, or cattle passes are required which are not shown on the plans,
the staking will be paid for at the contract unit price per hour for Engineer
Directed Surveying/Staking;
i. Mark limits of removal items (trees, foundations, curb & gutter, sidewalk,
etc.);
j. Detours, roadway diversions, and crossovers. (This work includes all design
and staking notes required to design and stake the detour, roadway
diversion, or crossover in accordance with the plan requirements. The
Contractor will submit the completed design including profile and alignment
and staking notes to the Engineer at least 3 business days prior to staking.);
94131326.docx 5
k. Final and original cross sections of Contractor and State furnished borrow
pits and computations. The Contractor will perform earthwork computations
by the average end area method, surface-to-surface method, or alternate
computation method approved by the Engineer;
l. Resetting horizontal and vertical control, if disturbed;
m. Approach slab and sleeper slab staking;
n. Staking of sidewalks and curb ramps; and,
o. Staking of steps and wheel chair ramps.
The Contractor will perform the pipe staking so the pipe will fit the field
conditions. The plans show only approximate pipe locations and grades. The
Contractor will not install pipe prior to gaining the Engineer’s approval of minor
location and grade adjustments necessary for proper staking of the pipe.
The Contractor will stake the slope catch points to determine the inlet and outlet
locations, set reference stakes for the inlet and outlet locations, and stake
ditches and special inlet and outlet grades to ensure proper drainage. The
staking of manholes and drop inlets will be included in pipe and storm sewer
staking. The Contractor will stake precast cattle passes similar to drainage
pipes.
The horizontal tolerance for the pipe and storm sewer staking is 0.05 foot and
the vertical tolerance is 0.03 foot.
The Contractor will keep pipe staking notes on a DOT Form 214.
4. Engineer Directed Surveying/Staking: The use of the engineer directed
surveying/staking contract item is intended for surveying/staking not included
in the plan notes and this special provision. The Contractor may use a survey
crew to perform additional survey/staking work caused or required by the
Department. The Engineer will use a written order to authorize the hourly
engineer directed surveying/staking item and describe the surveying/staking
work required of the Contractor.
D. METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
Refer to the Table of Contractor Staking in the plans for more detail on how
quantities were calculated.
1. Grade Staking: The Department will not measure grade staking. The
Department will pay the plan quantity as the final quantity unless the Engineer
orders additional grade staking in writing.
The Department will consider a two-lane roadway as one set of grade stakes.
The Department will proportionately increase the plan quantity for multi-lane
roadways in excess to two-lanes as shown in the table of construction staking
94131326.docx 6
(lane factor). For example, a three-lane roadway is equivalent to 1.5 times the
quantity for a two-lane roadway. On projects requiring grade staking on ramps,
the Department will consider ramps as a two-lane roadway for measurement
as shown in the table of construction staking. The Department will not consider
Acceleration/deceleration lanes and turning lanes for intersecting roads, and
median crossovers as an additional roadway.
2. Miscellaneous Staking: The Department will not measure miscellaneous
staking. The Department will pay the plan quantity as the final quantity.
3. Engineer Directed Surveying/Staking: The Department will measure
engineer directed surveying/staking to the nearest 0.1 hour with the following
restrictions:
The use of engineer directed surveying/staking will be for the work ordered by
the Engineer. The measured quantity will be the actual time the survey crew is
working on the project, physically performing the field survey/staking work and
office time dedicated to the work specific to engineer directed
surveying/staking. The Department will not include travel time for the survey
crew in the measurement.
The Contractor will provide the Engineer documentation, such as an invoice,
showing the actual days/hours worked.
E. BASIS OF PAYMENT
Payment for all of the survey items will be considered full compensation for
furnishing all necessary personnel, vehicles, surveying equipment, supplies,
materials, recording fees, transportation, and incidentals to accurately and
satisfactory complete the work.
The Department reserves the right to omit any of these bid items without providing
compensation to the contractor if the Department deems the bid prices are
unreasonable.
1. Grade Staking: The Department will pay grade staking at the contract unit
price per mile. All cost for additional grade staking for acceleration/deceleration
lanes, turning lanes, intersecting roads, grade adjustments, and median
crossovers will be incidental to the contract unit price for grade staking. All
additional grade staking for intersections and medians will be incidental to the
roadway grade staking. Any additional staking the Contractor feels necessary
to complete the grade staking work is the responsibility of the contractor and
will be incidental to the contract unit price for grade staking.
2. Miscellaneous Staking: The Department will pay miscellaneous staking at the
contract unit price per mile.
94131326.docx 7
The Department will make partial payment as follows:
a. Upon submission of the name, experience, and qualifications of the
surveyor or engineer who will supervise the staking, the proposed starting
date, and the staking schedule, the Department will pay the Contractor 25
percent of the plan quantity for the miscellaneous staking.
b. The Department will make intermediate payments based on the amount of
the staking work completed.
c. The Department will make full payment at the plan quantity for
miscellaneous staking upon completion of all surveying and staking and
when the Contractor has furnished all field notebooks and records to the
Engineer.
The Department will not adjust the contract unit price or plan quantity for
miscellaneous staking due to overruns or under runs in the other contract items.
3. Engineer Directed Surveying/Staking: The Department will pay engineer
directed surveying/staking on an hourly basis as per the Price Schedule for
Miscellaneous Items. The value listed in the Price Schedule for Miscellaneous
Items includes salaries, travel time, equipment, staking supplies, payroll
additive, and all incidental expenses related to providing the survey crew.

Protect-In-Place this waterline. TM Rural Water stated that this waterline is a 6” or 8” waterline encased in a
10” or 12” thick-walled PVC. TM Rural Water has stated that they will have an onsite technician present while
the SDDODT contractor works over the top of this waterline. The onsite contact TM Rural Water has
designated is Greg Simmermon and he can be reached by Cell: 605-321-5708 or by email at
Greg.Simmermon@tmruralwater.com. The second waterline identified by TM Rural Water is at approximately
STA. 241+70 and is a 4” waterline. TM Rural Water stated this waterline was found at approximately 79” depth
which, is approximately 20” below the SDDOT’s new storm sewer elevation. TM Rural Water stated that this
waterline is not in conflict at this location and should have plenty of clearance. After TM Rural Water’s review
of the highway construction plans, no adjustments/relocations should be necessary. As TM Rural Water’s
facilities cross Present US Hwy 18 and are in existing public right-of-way, any relocation/adjustment necessary
to accommodate the highway construction will be accomplished at no cost to the State and performed in
coordination with the highway construction.
