An aerial topographic map of the areas is being performed and provided to the client for clarity and to delineate these areas in detail. The aerial topographic survey of the three (3) areas includes the following: • A map at 1-foot contour interval for engineering purposes. • Planimetrics of all identifiable objects at ground level. • Horizontal coordinates based on CA State Plane NAD83 • Vertical coordinates based on CA State Plane NAVD88 11 A Walmart truck backed into a property line wall, causing damage causing an inspection to determine the integrity of the wall, at which time is was decided land-surveying services were needed. IDS is providing a field survey of the entire west boundary of Del Amo Park, north of the current buildings, to deter- mine the property line and provide a document stamped by an IDS licensed surveyor showing the border and the ownership of the wall. IDS understands that the City desires to improve the existing pedestrian environment for proposed temporary station to be constructed along with ADA path of travel to public sidewalk, site civil plan, erosion control plan, and utility plan for 2,000 sf building addition near (north) the rear of the parcel. IDS will evaluate the site and develop conceptual design improvements that meet the City’s requirements. The client proposes to build a seven (7) story 103-Unit Condominium Complex. A Tentative Map and conceptual drainage plan were provided and submitted to the city for approval. A topographic and boundary survey were per- formed on an assumed benchmark and record map basis of bearings. Topographic suvey for on-site improvements for an essential community resource facility. IDS is collaborating with the County of Orange, the County Library stakeholders, and the Orange County Public Works for architectural and engineering tenant improvement services to the existing library. IDS is providing engineering services for accessibility upgrades to the sidewalk at Building T. The existing sidewalk around the building will be raised so it is within a half inch of finish floor elevations and all connecting sidewalks will be re-graded. The new sidewalk will provide accessible access to the building and its surroundings and improve the flow of pedestrian traffic. IDS is providing design of site improvements consisting of new curb and gutter, sidewalk, and trail area and including a probable construction cost estimate. Topographic survey to correct deficiencies along the existing sidewalk where noncompliant accessibility items and barriers occur near Building T. A cafe, student lounge, and the campus student health and wellness building are within this site. Topographic suvey for on-site improvements as part of of the City of Azusa Library’s Basis of Design remodel. IDS is working the city and project stakeholders to prioritize critical improvements with a resilient design that meets the city’s goals and expectations. IDS completed the survey work to assist the District’s development of stormwater quality treatment measures and drainage improvements. Work was done on the eastern portion of the campus and the off-campus Corporate Cen- ter that involved topographic field survey, utility field locating services with potholing, and preparing a topographic base map drawing used to prepare civil engineering plans. The deliverable was a Civil 3D CADD file and a pdf. 12 Utility locating and topographic surveying services for the campus performed by IDS as part of the design-build scoping documents documenting the existing conditions. The survey tied into the existing control established by previous consultants to maintain continuity for the campus. The deliverable to the campus was a pdf as well as a CADD file of the topographic and utility surveys. IDS completed a site survey and provided the District with a topographical map of the existing conditions for the future location of the new Industrial Technology Building. The survey captured existing site conditions, horizontal and vertical locations of the objects and be plotted on CADD files per LACCD Standards. IDS completed a field survey of the project site utilizing conventional and aerial survey methods. The control for the survey tied into the existing site survey control; ensuring all design consultants, both present and future, would be using the same system. The survey team completed this task in tandem with the field utility locating: the survey crew followed the field utility locating unit, collecting measurements of the horizontal and vertical positions of utilities marked and potholed in the field. In addition, an aerial survey covered the entire topographic area. IDS provided civil engineering and surveying services to remove the existing noise walls and obtain necessary per- mits for encroachment work and re-striping. Project scope of work included an aerial topography for the immedi- ate vicinity of the sound walls to use as a base file for the demolition plans. In addition, IDS prepared a construction document package for submittal to Los Angeles County permitting and provided construction oversight. IDS completed utility locating and topographic survey mapping for the design and construction of a new Agricul- tural Education Building. The IDS team reviewed as-built plans and survey mapping records. In addition, the field surveyors and utility location team scanned the site with ground-penetrating radar, measured the surface location of each marked-out utility, and prepared a topographic base map of the project site utilities. IDS completed the ADA Path of Travel topographic survey of numerous infrastructure elements that were code non-compliant and required improvement. The project scope of work included conducting a topographic survey using the horizontal and vertical control established by the campus to ensure the survey for the project was in alignment with other campus projects. The IDS Civil Engineering and Surveying team prepared a topographic base map survey and civil improvement plans to install access ramps, sidewalks, and accessible parking spaces. 13 IDS Group, Inc. (IDS) will conduct a detailed, conventional boundary survey, using precise measuring techniques, to identify and establish the property lines of the PONY property and the Sunset Crossing property. It is anticipat- ed that both of these properties will advance collectively, and the resulting deliverable files would be as one file including all the parcels making up the two properties. The following include the workflow: • Review available property records and other relevant documents. • Identify, verify, and locate any existing boundary markers, natural features, and other relevant site condi- tions. • Verify that boundaries align with existing legal descriptions and recorded documents. • Produce a detailed boundary survey map that clearly illustrates the property boundaries and area calcula- tions for each property. Includes preparing a Record of Survey for each boundary survey. • Mark property corners with permanent markers for the Pony property. Permanent markers will be installed every 100 ft along the east side property line of the PONY Property adjacent to the homes on Big Falls Drive. • Provide digital copies of all survey documentation, including the boundary line map in a PDF and Geographic Information System (“GIS”) shapefile/layer format. It is anticipated that this will be a single deliverable in- cluding all the property collectivey. However, individual deliverables can be provided should there be a need for deliverables to be separate files. IDS shall provide professional land surveying services. As requested, IDSG will perform a boundary survey and file a record of survey map. The boundary survey shall include the following: • File a Record of Survey map with the county of Los Angeles Public Works Department. A total of three (3) plan checks and processing is included in this proposal. Set monuments at all boundary corners assuming none of them are found. • The survey will be based on NAD83 coordinates using GPS and conventional methods. • Provide a map in a shapefile (.shp) format for use with the city’s GIS system. 14 IDS will use our trusted subconsultant partner, C Below, to conduct a detailed underground utility location survey to identify the types and locations of all above-ground and underground utilities within the PONY property and the Sunset Crossing property. The Consultant shall exercise independent, professional judgment and innovation in performance of any services or tasks listed herein. At a minimum, the Consultant shall: • Review available public records and utility maps from local utility companies and as-built drawings to gather historical data about existing utility installations. • Conduct a visual inspection to document all above-ground utilities, including poles, conduits, meters, and other visible installations. • Record the location, and type of each utility identified during the survey. Much of these appurtenances that are above ground will be picked up in the topographic survey. • We will utilize utility locating technologies such as electromagnetic locators, ground-penetrating radar (GPR), and other non-invasive methods to identify subsurface utilities. • We will locate and map existing underground utilities, including water, sewer, gas, electricity, and telecom- munications. • We will produce a detailed utility survey map that includes above-ground and underground utilities, includ- ing valve locations, and distinguish between different utility types, locations, depths, and conditions (con- ditions as visible and photo documented). Utility survey map will also include utilities within the sidewalk adjacent to the properties. • We will provide digital copies of all survey documentation, including the utility map in a PDF and GIS shape- file/layer format. • In addition, to determine the condition of underground utilities, we are including an 8-hour day of utility potholing services. This assumes that the rig will have access to the site in vicinity of the potholes (within say ~150 lf). Additional days of potholing, if desired, will be provided on a T&M basis. • Often times, our subconsultant will markout the underground utilities with water-based paint as color-coded to the utility found, and our surveyor will pick up the paint lines to get it into CAD accurately. Other means include having C Below create a utility map based on hand-held GPS coordinate mapping, which provides for reasonable accuracy. Either way, an accurate utility map will be prepared for the properties. All work will be performed under the direction of a Registered Land Surveyor in the State of California. Our sur- veyor will maintain professional licenses required by the laws of the State of California at all times while under contract with the City. The utility survey shall include the following: • Locate any utility meters, light poles, risers and surface appurtenances. • Field survey C-Below’s markings for utility lines. • Provide a map in a shapefile (.shp) format for use with the city’s GIS system. Excludes ALTA survey. Excludes construction staking. Assumes client will provide site access. Assumes client will provide available title report and record drawings. 15 IDS has prepared a cost proposal to accomplish the services required for this project.
