Section 4. Scope of Services
The following "Critical Project Elements" identifies the typical
survey tasks to be performed on non -construction and
construction projects.
Typical Survey Tasks for Non -Construction Projects
• Project datums and sources identified. Typical horizontal
and vertical datums used are City, County, NGS, Caltrans. In
non-critical, isolated small projects, assumed datums may be
acceptable to provide efficiency. This will be confirmed by the
City prior to commencing work.
• Fortopographic mapping, map scale, accuracy, and contour
interval are identified.
• Field equipment and procedures are established for desired
accuracy, detail, and efficiency.
• Project limits are identified.
• Level of mapping detail is identified.
• Critical boundary and R/W are identified.
• Non-critical boundaries, R/W, level of accuracy requirements,
and acceptable resources are identified. Typically project base
maps require, for instance, R/W lines.
• If the project will be confined within the paved road, R/W can
attimes be per record data and best fit or from a GIS source.
The source will be identified on the map and an advisory if
the design will require construction in close proximity to the
R/W line; that line must move to the critical R/W status and be
formally retraced.
• Easement research and retracement needs are identified. The
need for title reports is assessed.
• CADD mapping standards are identified. These can be in-house
or City specified.
• Utility mapping requirements are identified. Critical items
may include location of visible utilities, manhole dipping,
Underground Service Alert (USA) markings, and atlas
procurement from utility companies. In some cases, as
needed, we contract with an underground utility locating
company to positively identify locations, type, and condition in
the case of sewer and storm drain video inspection.
• Access issues determined and access permits acquired as
needed.

PROPOSAL FOR ON-CALL LAND SURVEYING SERVICES
• Safety issues are considered. Traffic control is implemented
as needed. Special, off-peak traffic working hours may be
incorporated for crew safety.
• Scanning may be incorporated for safety and efficiency.
Typical Survey Tasks for Construction Projects
• Plan Verification. Construction staking assignments begin
with verifying the plans are the current, approved plans. We
often receive electronic drawings which we carefully compare
against the hard copy approved plans. We will note any
discrepancies and address them with the design consultant.
• Project Controls. Prior to commencing construction layout
work, our first field assignment is to check and verify
project horizontal and vertical control. Our field team will
independently survey this control. We will provide a project
control report for use by the construction staking surveyor.
• Conforming Ties. We will identify all tie-in points where new
construction conforms to the existing in order to eliminate any
discrepancies that we may encounter.
• Safety. Safety issues are considered. Traffic control is
implemented as needed. Special, off-peak traffic working hours
may be incorporated for crew safety.
• Survey Request Authority and Timing. Priorto commencing
work, we will establish the person or persons authorized to
request staking, monitoring, or other tasks with the City. We
will also establish a preferred lead time to ensure availability
and preparedness.
Typical Tasks for Private Development Review
• Project Review Procedures. Upon receiving a project from the
City, we log the submittal into our spreadsheet and assign a
tracking number. We also set a target due date that falls prior to
the State -mandated deadline for response. The project location
and key data are also entered into our GIS database in order to
observe if we have reviewed any previous projects the vicinity
to leverage that experience into the new project. The submittal
is reviewed for completeness. Once the submittal is deemed
substantially complete, we conductthe first thorough review.
We prepare a redlined map and a separate text document
listing the review comments. We can work with hard copy
submittals but have found that Adobe PDF submittals are very
efficient and we encourage that type of submittal. Depending
on the City's preference, we will send our comments directly
back to the City whereby the City will review and forward to

Coordination with Plan Checking. When easements,
roadways, or other dedications are required, we find it valuable
to correspond with the person assigned to the plan check to
ensure the areas being dedicated are adequate for the project.
We also review the conditions of approval to identify any
conditions tied to the preparation or recordation of the map
and/or documents.

Section 5. Estimated Fee for Services
The cost for providing a specified projector task will vary
depending upon the size, complexity, and nature of the project.
The following shows a range of fees for average -sized, average -
complexity projects that MNS typically encounters.
Private Development Review
These fees will vary depending upon the size and complexity,
as well as on the completeness of the submittal and the quality
of the maps and documents provided. Based upon actual costs
from six recent projects, for reviewing a Parcel Map or 1 Lot Tract
Map for Condominiums, which required one major review and
two subsequent, minor reviews through to recordation; the costs
ranged between $2,400—$4,200 with an average fee of $3,005.
Topographic Map for Design of Complete Street
Improvements
This includes contour map and 3D surface, above -ground
utilities, opening and measuring of manholes, full topo from
back of walk to back of walk, striping, and R/W retracement for
a 500 -foot block. An approximate cost will be $9,500411,500,
depending upon complexity and availability of monuments.

include office and field support for one day of staking:
• One-person crew with office support will be approximately
$2,270
• Two -person crew with office support will be approximately
$3,270
A large percentage of our work is completed with a one-person
crew.
In all instances, a larger project will typically benefit from
efficiency of scale and have a lower average daily rate.
