Question?
Why did the Designer/EOR
design over my utility line
without making sure it was
included in my UWS?
Questions?
Can changes after final
design be made to allow a
utility that was originally
slotted to be relocated to
now remain in place?
Questions?
What if I felt I had a conflict
during design and brought
it to the attention of the
designer yet is was never
taken into consideration
or added to my UWS?
Questions?
Can the Contractor perform
my utility work without
having a JPA?
Questions?
Should I document a
possible claim situation?
