<br />below a flat plane extending across the rights-of-way,no part of which shall extend above the elevations stated above;manholes,lampholes,valves,etc.not
<br />included.Future surface elevations shall bc anticipated as nearly as possible and structure elevations shall be established for future adjustments accordingly.
<br />E.The County hereby reserves the right to specify in the Special Provisions the gage and surface treatment of any galvanized corrugated metal pipe that is to be
<br />installed.
<br />F.All longitudinal utility facilities are to be established (and dimensioned on sketches)from surveyed centerline of road right-of-way,not from right-of~way
<br />(border)lines.

<br />Unless otherwise permitted under the Special Provisions,backfill shall be placed and mechanically compacted in such a manner that the relative compaction
<br />throughout the entire fill within the County road right~of-way shall conform to the percentages of compaction as shown on the Trench detail.
