Verify Connections, Permits and Bid Assumptions

Confirm the property is within the City of Victoria and gather available plumbing, storm or alteration records. Begin the property dossier with a date and its recorded location, access route and drain segment; attach the available evidence before making the investigation, access or replacement decision. The next checkpoint is “Describe the proposed work accurately.” Keep heritage and tree checks in their proper routes. Keep that action beside its observation. The existing-system reviewer can then distinguish the intake property dossier from property closeout dossier material added during later pricing or investigation.

Keep heritage and tree checks in their proper routes.

Review jurisdiction, connection records, permit questions, comparable quantities, allowances, alternates and closeout in the context of the actual property rather than as a standard allowance. Municipal records, connection questions and bid allowances belong in one dated register while retaining their different decision owners. Record City references and dates; then keep heritage and tree checks in their proper routes. Label each property-record photograph, drawing and prior record by recorded location, access route and drain segment and date. When a buried route or connection question remains, record it in the property dossier; identify the existing-system reviewer review or property closeout dossier document that could resolve it. An older address or one visible component does not establish the material, layout or outlet of the complete system.

Record City references and dates

Keep heritage and tree checks in their proper routes

Compare investigation basis, lengths, depths, access, wall interfaces, materials, outlet, dewatering and concealed-work allowances. Describe each record, constraint and drainage segment separately, citing its supporting property-record photograph, measurement or dated document. Price restoration limits explicitly. A finding at one recorded location, access route and drain segment may alter the proposed investigation, access or replacement decision; unobserved parts of the existing perimeter-drain system stay outside the available evidence.

Price restoration limits explicitly.

“Separate base scope and alternates” belongs on its own line in the property dossier. For the recorded location, access route and drain segment, pair the property-record photograph evidence with any concealed or untested existing perimeter-drain system limits. State unit rates and authorization. Price restoration limits explicitly. Cross-reference the below-grade investigation or replacement response answer to its property-record photograph; include the property dossier drawing, a product document for the below-grade investigation or replacement response, or a dated reply from the existing-system reviewer. Schedule locating, tree, utility or wall review before excavation closes the access option or concealed work is backfilled.

Price restoration limits explicitly

Review schedule assumptions, protection, changes, inspections, photos, reports, final grading and completion records. Before proceeding, record unresolved exclusions before selection. Give task ownership to the existing-system reviewer; place its checkpoint before the investigation, access or replacement decision, then name the expected property closeout dossier. This separates current property dossier evidence from the proposed below-grade investigation or replacement response. Put manufacturer information and existing-system reviewer input in the property closeout dossier; file authority questions under the relevant existing perimeter-drain system decision.

Record unresolved exclusions before selection.

Resolve “Do not infer permit inclusion” before ranking proposals. State the baseline recorded location, access route and drain segment, proposed below-grade investigation or replacement response, exclusions, quantities and written change process. Tie payments to evidence milestones. Record unresolved exclusions before selection. Review each property-record photograph while it can still change the investigation, access or replacement decision. Record a dated investigation, access or replacement decision choice or assign the remaining buried route or connection question. Track that uncertainty in the property closeout dossier, outside the lump-sum total.

Record unresolved exclusions before selection

Finish this authority & bid register as a property dossier: include its starting evidence, location map, proposed below-grade investigation or replacement response and unresolved limits. For “Verify Connections, Permits and Bid Assumptions,” justify each below-grade investigation or replacement response inclusion and assign the next buried route or connection question. In the property dossier, list the approvals, product records and property closeout dossier expected. Continue with “Record Where Water Appears and What Came Before It”, “Identify the Existing System Before Defining Replacement”, “Specify Access, Method and Report Outputs”, “Map Utilities, Trees, Hardscape and Neighbour Impacts”, and “Specify the Whole Below-Grade Assembly” for related existing perimeter-drain system decisions. Use the property dossier guide links for any wider below-grade investigation or replacement response comparison. Catalogue every dated Victoria or provincial reference under the connection, site-servicing or permit question it supports.
