Recently, on-call contracts have become an integral part of municipal partnerships, facilitating seamless collaboration between local governments and specialized service providers. On-call contracts are not only for large projects, but they also serve as a mechanism for small, specific tasks. One such task is surveying services. Examples of surveying services performed under on-call contracts have included:
Staking of City Limit Lines and Right of Way
Project examples have included:
- Identification both on mapping and in the field of the location of the city limit line for the city’s use in coordinating maintenance of an existing retaining wall.
- Staking of the city’s road right-of-way for use by the public works department to install a sidewalk.
Topographic and Right-of-Way Surveys:
Sain has performed multiple topographic surveys for municipal projects. These have included:
- Drainage features for upgrading a storm sewer system.
- Site-specific areas for projects include signs, landscaping, and bridges.
- Municipal complexes for a building expansion.
Boundary:
For a recent city park renovation, which included upgrading the ADA accessibility, a boundary survey was performed to identify the limits of the city’s property to maximize the use of all available areas.
ALTA:
In several instances, Sain has performed an ALTA survey on property being acquired by a city. These have included properties for parks and municipal buildings.
As-Builts:
Sain performed an as-built survey of a recently installed storm sewer to aid a county in updating their mapping.
As municipalities continue to grow and evolve, the value of on-call contracts in fostering proactive and effective solutions becomes increasingly apparent, making them a cornerstone of successful municipal development initiatives.
