Three-Year Professional Services for the County of Santa Barbara Public Works Department (including the Santa Barbara County Flood Control & Water Conservation District, Santa Barbara County Water Agency, and Laguna County Sanitation District) SGC.8: Surveying General: Surveying is the science of determining the dimensions and shape (or three-dimensional characteristics) of the earth's surface by means of measuring lines and angles, and applying the principles of mathematics. Field surveying locates, establishes, or retraces property lines, performs geodetic or cadastral surveying and determines information shown on any map or document prepared in connection with the above activities. Field surveying can involve staking out the lines and grades needed for construction of improvements for Public Works or other County Departments. Office surveying activities include review of subdivision maps, records of surveys, corner records and certificates of compliance for compliance with state law and local ordinances. Public Works has only limited ability to perform field survey work. When project delivery requirements exceed the Surveyor Division's ability to respond, your company will be asked to help. The work requested could involve any of the following tasks: Land Surveying: Land surveys or boundary surveys are the function of locating the property boundaries or right of way of project sites. In addition to on-site fieldwork, historical research may be required to establish ownership, title and easement restrictions as well as other constraints placed on the real property. This type of work may also be referred to as property surveys, boundary surveys, or cadastral surveys. Topographical Surveying: This type of surveying entails locating objects and measuring the relief, three-dimensional variations of the earth's surface and/or other topographical features. Detailed information is obtained pertaining to the elevations as well as to the locations of man-made features or improvements and natural features. Topographical maps are prepared to document the survey. This type survey is also referred to as a preliminary survey. Route Surveying: Route surveying involves the determination of the relief and locations of natural and artificial objects along a proposed route for an improvement. Additionally, this may include the staking of the proposed improvements including clearing, rough grade, and finish grade stakes (See construction staking below). Control Surveying: Control surveys are those made to establish the horizontal and vertical positions of various points. The points are selected so that they form a net over the project site under consideration so as to provide a convenient method to tie planned improvement placement to these points. Methods used will involve the use of GPS, CORS sites, and differing datum's (NAD27, NAD83, NGVD29, or NAVD88). Construction Surveying: Construction surveying provides the basis for proper placement of improvements. This type of surveying is needed at all stages of the construction process in an effort to ensure that the final product meets all the design requirements for placement, elevation and alignment. Hydrographic Surveying pertains to bodies of water, streams, and/or marshes. Shorelines are charted, shapes of area beneath the water's surface are determined and other related information needed relative to navigation, flood control, and water resource management is obtained. Subdivision Map Checking: Primarily centered on office activities, this area includes subdivision map review, review of lot line adjustments or voluntary mergers, and review of certificates of compliance for compliance with State Law and local ordinances.
