the planning and design processes by aggregating the site utility data in a single geospatial data form.
Our process will include formally reaching out to local utility providers to request as-built drawings, utility maps,
and any available records associated with the subject parcels. We will utilize our established relationships with
utility companies to facilitate the efficient acquisition of these documents and coordinate any necessary site visits
or consultations. Additionally, we will review public records from City and County archives, such as permit records
and utility easement documents, to identify any utilities not covered in the available maps. Once gathered, this
information will be cross-referenced with on-site findings to ensure accuracy and identify potential discrepancies
between recorded data and field conditions. The result will be a well-documented utility framework that forms the
foundation of the subsequent survey and mapping efforts.
Utility features to be mapped include, but are not limited to, water, sewer, gas, electric, and telecommunications.
The survey map will include above- and belowground utilities, including valve locations, and distinguish between
utility types, locations, depths, and conditions.
