roadway layouts, pavement marking layouts, location of ramps, sidewalk, right-of-
way, and location of utilities (Including invert elevations for stormwater and
wastewater utilities, and top of nut elevations for water valves). Survey will extend
150' on each leg of the intersection. Survey to be Performed by Inland Geodetics.
• Conduct a field review of the intersection to note and verify physical constraints,
