'dM[F , Johnson -Frank & Associates. Inc. ,'- On -Call Construction Surveying Services RFP No. 19-090 Santa Ana Public Works Agency UNDERSTANDING OF NEED General Land Surveying Services Understanding / Scope: Prior to submitting a cost estimate, we always thoroughly review the survey request with City Staff requesting the survey, as well as the site at hand, both from on -site visits as well as through aerial and satellite imagery readily available through Google Earth. We will adhere to the City's standard CAD and file templates. This is an issue with which we are very familiar. Working with local municipalities, Counties, and US Government agencies, we are familiar with translating into, or working in, anyone's CAD and file format standards seamlessly. Topographic Surveys: All of our topographic work products will be produced, and will be delivered, in AutoCAD Civil3D, unless alternate formats are requested. In addition, we will submit ASCII coordinate files along with said DWG and PDF files. We will perform additional surveying work as it becomes necessary, and in conjunction with the approval (if necessary) of the City Surveyor. As -Built Surveys: As -Built surveys will be performed as, and where, requested. Deliverable files will include ASCII and AutoCAD Civil 3D files in City formats, as well as any field sketches necessary to facilitate the depiction of the area or feature being detailed. Construction Layout: Thorough review of the construction plans is a crucial step that is often overlooked. We have found that catching errors in the plans prior to having field crews on site is infinitely more cost effective. It allows our project surveyors and our field crews to get acquainted with the plans ahead of time, rather than viewing the plans for the first time the morning that the stakes are needed by the contractor. We also believe in doing all possible calculations in the office rather than in the field. We have found that office labor is much more economical than field labor. In addition, the office personnel, with computers and CAD programs, are much more sufficiently equipped to perform mass calculations than the field personnel. We will follow the City's Construction Services, Survey Section staking policy as well as conforming to industry standards. 5150 E.
