METHODOLOGY/PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Joseph C. Truxaw and Associates, Inc. is prepared and qualified to provide professional land surveying
services to the City of Diamond Bar. Truxaw and Associates has proven experience providing professional
civil engineering and land surveying services for both the private and public sectors. Our track record proves
that we have the necessary knowledge, resources and experience combined with effective management
capabilities to successfully support the City’s project needs.
The following steps will be performed during the course of the survey of the Pony and Sunset Crossing
properties:
Boundary / Property Line Survey
a) Truxaw has thoroughly reviewed the project description, and when awarded the project we will conduct
public record research as required. This proposal assumes that the City will provide a title report
covering both the Pony Property and the Sunset Crossing Property at the time the project is awarded.
b) The Boundary Survey will be prepared in accordance with applicable State law, local customs and the
City of Diamond Bar requirements. Truxaw’s recent and relevant experience often expedites control
work necessary to complete a boundary task.
c) The survey data will be analyzed, and the project boundaries will be established based on found survey
monuments of record and substantiated by lines of occupation as field surveyed.
d) Once the property boundaries have been established, Truxaw will set permanent boundary
monuments at all property corners and at 100-foot intervals along the easterly property line of the Pony
Property adjacent to the homes along Big Falls Drive.
e) Once the permanent monuments have been set, Truxaw will prepare a Record of Survey to document
the setting of these monuments in accordance with the requirements of Section 8771 of the California
Business and Professions Code. Truxaw will also file the Record of Survey with the office of the
County Surveyor.
f) Truxaw will provide the city with digital copies of the Boundary Survey in both .pdf and GIS
shapefile/layer formats. Electronic AutoCAD files, ASCII coordinate point files of the completed project
survey, and RAW field book data files will also be maintained and available to the city, if requested.
Utility Survey
a) Once the project has been awarded, Truxaw will request copies of atlas maps and record plans for
sewer, water and storm drain facilities within the project area from the City. Truxaw will also request
copies of substructure maps from utility companies understood to have facilities within the project area.
This proposal assumes that the City will provide contact information for these utility companies.
b) Truxaw will plot surface utility features such as utility poles, manholes, water valves, meter boxes, pull
boxes, and other visible features based on field survey data.
c) Truxaw will retain C Below to locate existing underground utility lines by using methods such as
electromagnetic locators, ground-penetrating radar, etc.
d) C Below will prepare a detailed utility survey map that will indicate the locations of water, sewer, gas,
electricity and telecommunications lines. This map will include both above-ground and underground
utilities, including valve locations, and include a legend to identify the various utility types. The location
and approximate depth to each utility will be noted when able to be determined. This map will also
include utilities within the sidewalk areas adjacent to the Pony and Sunset Crossing properties.
e) Digital copies of the Utility Survey will be provided in both .pdf and GIS shapefile/layer formats.
Electronic AutoCAD files will also be made available to the city, if requested.
