  • Activity Narrative
  1. The purpose of the Field Verification is to determine the type, location, and ownership of utility facilities. Field Verification activities will require securing a Release - Limited for Preliminary Utility Activities to incur the associated costs if necessary. If Federal cost participation is involved in the project, reimbursable field verification activities will be considered as incidental to environmental studies for preliminary engineering up to, and including, the determination of horizontal location without excavation.
  2. Field Verification services may be provided by a Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) provider, by individual or groups of utilities, or by TxDOT personnel. In reference to the Right of Way Sub-process, the involvement by right of way personnel will be to provide payment where applicable, and to assist in coordination activities incidental to payment.
