The conduit shall be installed at a minimum depth of 24 inches, exceptions will be made for utility avoidance. Conduit is installed normally in the range of 24"- 36" deep per City of Rockford specifications. There may be instances that the conduit is installed at a greater depth or shallower depth due to utility avoidance but this should be kept to a minimum. C. The conduit is to have mule tape within the conduit for future use. D. The contractor is responsible for all Illinois J.UL.I.E. Locate requests and proper spotting of buried infrastructure. E.

However, the bidder should make their own measurements and calculations and bid based on their own judgement. F.
