SAPMT has reviewed the subject submittal dated November 07, 2013 and has no objection with the following comment:

1.	The reporting procedure is in compliance with the outline in the standard; however ICC should procure a dedicated detector in compliance with the one of the conditions in the excavation permit which states “Use cable detector before excavation (manual) to avoid damaging existing utilities in the crossing areasâ€.
2.	ICC shall submit a separate method statement for detecting all underground utilities lik FOC, concrete pipes, electric cables and water pipes etc. showing dedicated tools, equipment’s and staff.
