Anyone who has opened ground in Contra Costa County for any length of time has seen the same pattern repeat itself. The plans look clean. The marks on the pavement seem straightforward. The schedule is tight, the crew is ready, and then the first daylighted crossing tells a different story. A gas line sits a foot off the mapped alignment. An abandoned conduit bank turns out not to be abandoned at all. A shallow communication line appears in a spot where no one expected it.
