The Contractor will perform all construction staking . The Contractor may elect to use grading equipment with an automated machine control system for Machine Control Grading ( MCG ) provided the equipment and methods used provide the same results in the finished work as conventional construction staking . The Engineer may require the Contractor to revert to conventional staking methods for all or part of the work at any point during construction if , in the Engineer ’ s own opinion , the MCG produces unacceptable results . The Department will not allow the Contractor to use MCG as a substitute for conventional construction staking for slope staking and slope stake referencing , paving hub staking , structure staking , miscellaneous staking , or final cross section surveying . The staking work includes , but is not limited to , establishing or re - establishing the project centerline ; establishing control points and benchmarks as needed ; setting additional benchmarks as needed ; perform measurement and volume calculations of all Contractor secured borrow sources , State designated borrow sources , and topsoil stockpiles ; and staking right - of - way , easements , and fence .
