Public Works’ County Surveyor’s Office is staffed for a variety of field and office based tasks. However, Consultant support may be required when project delivery requirements exceed the Office’s ability to respond. Surveying tasks may include: Boundary Surveying: Consultant will be responsible for determining the location of property, easement, and right-of-way boundaries near project sites. This process will require both on-site fieldwork and historical research to establish ownership, title rights, easement restrictions, and other constraints affecting the real property. This work may also be referred to as property surveys, boundary surveys, or cadastral surveys. Applying industry-standard methods to locate and verify boundary evidence, ensuring all boundary determinations are supported by sufficient research, field measurements, and a legal basis founded on the Licensee’s professional judgment. As required by the California Professional Land Surveyors' Act, Consultant shall prepare and file any required Records of Survey or Corner Records. Monument Preservation and Perpetuation: Consultant may be responsible for identifying, locating, and documenting boundary and control monuments that may be impacted by construction activities. This includes conducting research into the origin and legal acceptance of found monuments whenever feasible. They record the position and characteristics of all relevant monuments in accordance with applicable State laws and County requirements. Field positioning methodologies must incorporate redundancy and precision to facilitate the accurate reestablishment of any monuments disturbed or obliterated during construction. If monument preservation or perpetuation measures are required, the Consultant shall prepare and file appropriate records, such as Corner Records or Records of Survey, as required by the California Professional Land Surveyors' Act.
