APEX CONSULTING & SURVEYING

Zone of the Indiana Geospatial Coordinate System (InGCS).

  1. I.

    Establish on-site elevation using NGS, DNR benchmarks or Delaware County benchmarks. Set temporary benchmarks within the project limits such that elevation datum can be re-established during construction.

  2. J.

    Tie in the survey base lines to available USPLSS section corners and/or existing property/right-of-way monumentation. All necessary section corners will be located or re- established to adequately define property lines along the limits of the project during the Right-of-way Engineering or Easement Acquisition phase.

  3. K.

    Re-establish existing roadway alignments from plans for previous projects (if available).

  4. L.

    Plot existing right-of-way and property lines based on observed physical evidence and records documents acquired from local government agencies.

  5. M.

    Coordinate with all utility companies to locate and mark their utilities in the field. APEX shall notify the utilities via the call before you dig notification system (Indiana Underground Plant Protection Service (I.U.P.P.S.)). APEX shall verify that each utility has field located their facilities during the course of the design survey. The existing facilities located at the time of the field survey shall be incorporated into the design survey. In addition, APEX will provide a list of all utilities and all information available for that utility including address, and telephone number.

  6. N.

    Provide topographic data and spot elevations within the survey limits for all existing finish floors, at each threshold, building edges, insets, culvert pipes, legal drains, railroad tracks and projections, exterior platforms, steps (top and bottom treads), corners, building entrances, break in grade, ramps, area ways, tree grates, etc. within the project limits, and at top and bottom of curb.

  7. O.

    Provide a listing of all symbols, notations and legends used in the field survey. APEX shall furnish a hard copy together with all field survey information collected on electronic media. APEX shall also prepare master drawings (1-foot contours) from data collected in topographic survey using AutoCAD Civil 3D and shall submit a hard copy together with electronic format. APEX shall delineate and label the location of all buildings, structures, fences, railings, signs, walls, walks, paved areas, curbs and other permanent structures and existing improvements. APEX shall outline all building edges, insets and projections, and below grade structures such as vaults,
