REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS NO. 20-07-01 <br />CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING SERVICES (CCNA) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TAB D: PROJECT APPROACH AND UNDERSTANDING <br /> <br />Web/Cloud Based Solution Platforms <br />We use the Trimble Terra-Flex system which is a cloud-based solution that allows the organization <br />and control of the field data collection process. The power behind Terra-Flex is the integration <br />between data collection and Geographic Information System, GIS, through a plug-in within GIS. A <br />geodatabase that is created within GIS full of domains and schemas is uploaded to the cloud-based <br />Terra-Flex system. From there forms are created based on the geodatabase and crafted to fit the <br />constraints of the project complete with drop down menus and check boxes. These forms dictate <br />how the field crews are to perform their surveys and ensure that all necessary information is <br />recorded including multiple pictures of the target objects if desired. The field crews are able to view <br />and edit these forms directly from a cell phone and/or tablet which provides great versatility in the <br />field. These forms are then synced back to the cloud-based Terra-Flex system as soon as the form <br />editing is complete and sends that information straight into the GIS attribute tables in the office <br />where real time processing and analysis can happen. <br />Right-of-Way Surveys <br />Using existing records such as rights-of-way maps, plats, dedications and maintenance maps, we will <br />establish the limits of the corridor and survey the boundaries. The improvements in and adjacent to <br />the right-of-way are then located with either 3D fixed base laser scanning, mobile LiDAR scanning, <br />aerial photogrammetry, or aerial LiDAR scanning. We have utilized all of these methods in the past <br />singly or in combination. These methods keep our field crews away from traffic; thereby, increasing <br />the safety of our staff and the driving public. <br />ALTA Surveys <br />Part of the process of the work order will be to make available to the City the minimum standard <br />detail requirements for ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys. We will work with the City to determine the <br />exact purpose of the survey and tailor the final product that best suits the City’s needs and meet the <br />ALTA/ASPS requirements upon delivery. <br />Canal and Embankments Cross Sections and Profiles (Hydrographic) <br />We use the latest survey-grade sonar equipment integrated with our GPS data collection systems to <br />collect thousands of points in the given body of water. Also, using GPS we collect the embankment <br />topography and then import both sets of data into one seamless 3D drawing. This allows us to then <br />cut cross-sections, profiles at any required position. We can also prepare quantity calculations of the <br />subject site based on this data. The time to collect data and accuracy using our equipment and <br />procedures has been greatly improved over previous standard survey methods. <br />Field Reconnaissance <br />Prior to performing field reconnaissance, the project manager researches all available record <br />documents such as plats, right-of-way maps, previous surveys, state and county survey resources in <br />and around the subject site. The project manager then visits the site, to help determine the level of <br />effort and time it will take to complete the proposed task. Reconnaissance will determine availability <br />of horizontal and vertical control along with any unique characteristics of the property that will affect <br />the work order and schedule. <br /> <br />D | Page 14
