About this file

This is a Scope of Work (SOW) for Professional Land Survey Services for a boundary survey of NPS Tract 101-03 at Honouliuli National Historical Site in Honolulu, Hawaii.

The National Park Service requires a boundary survey of Lot 19957, a recently acquired parcel located at coordinates Lat. 21° 22' 49" N., Long. 158° 03' 17" W. The project involves locating field evidence to establish boundaries, researching survey history, interpreting deeds, and evaluating boundary evidence. The contractor must establish monuments and boundary markers, prepare a land survey plat for recording with the Hawaii Department of Accounting and General Services (DAGS), and provide supporting documentation. All work must be completed and delivered within 270 days of contract award. Key milestones include boundary survey and marking (180 days), draft plat (30 days after marking), NPS review comments (15 days), contractor responses (15 days), and recorded plat copy (30 days). The project staff must include a Registered Professional Land Surveyor in Hawaii who will be in responsible charge of all field work, evidence evaluation, and survey decisions. The contractor must contact the NPS park contact and adjoining property owners prior to field work, conduct records research back to the parent tract, locate and monument boundary evidence, establish new survey monuments with NPS Standard Cap Logos, establish boundary marker posts at corners and 300-foot maximum intervals, and document encroachments with photographs. Survey monuments must comply with specifications including ¾-inch diameter iron rods (30 inches) with 3¼-inch caps for standard installations, brass or bronze caps for rock/concrete surfaces, and aluminum or stainless steel posts for remote areas. All deliverables—including two signed and sealed original plats and one electronic copy—are property of the U.S. Department of the Interior and must be delivered to NPS PWRO – Land Resources Program Center in Seattle, Washington.

I. PROJECT INFORMATION/LIMITS OF SURVEY:

The site location and limits of survey are shown on the Plan of Survey Diagram.

General Project Location: Lat. 21° 22’ 49” N., Long. 158° 03’ 17” W. (WGS84)

The National Park Service (NPS) has recently acquired a parcel of land located on the island of Oahu in Honolulu County, Hawaii, at Honouliuli National Historical Site. The subject parcel is Lot 19957 as shown on Land Court Application No. 1069, Map 1676 (NPS tract 101-03, see plan of survey diagram). This parcel is contained within the NPS legislative boundary, which is defined by a description in an easement shown as Easement 10899 on Land Court Application No. 1069, Map 1587.

SOW, Boundary Survey Services Page 2 of 10

The property needs a boundary survey. Most of the parcel boundaries have not been surveyed and need to be monumented and have the boundary marked. The lines of ownership will be monumented and marked and portions of the legislative boundary not coincident with the line of ownership will be shown on the survey plat (see attached plan of survey diagram).

This project involves locating field evidence required to establish boundaries, research of survey history, deed interpretation, and the evaluation of boundary evidence.

A land survey plat will be prepared and filed with the Hawaii Department of Accounting and General Services (DAGS) - Land Survey Division.

See attached plan of survey diagram for a map of the area and depiction of the lines that need to be surveyed.

II. PROJECT DETAILS:

PERFORMANCE PERIOD AND SCHEDULE:

The selected firm can begin work on the day the contract is signed by both the federal contracting officer and company representative. All work will be completed and delivered no later than 270 days after the date the contract is awarded.

A pre-project conference call between NPS and licensed contract staff will take place within two weeks of the award date of this contract, the licensed surveyor must attend this meeting.

Progress reports will be provided on a monthly schedule.

SOW, Boundary Survey Services Page 3 of 10

The NPS reserves the right to verify that an applicant’s license is current, in good standing, and is not pending any disciplinary action.

STANDARD SURVEY TASKS:

The contractor will provide labor, equipment and supplies to complete a boundary survey as identified herein unless otherwise noted. Specific tasks noted below will be completed as part of this project:

1. Landowner Contacts (complete prior to field work)

a. Contact the NPS park contact to provide times and dates of entry and coordinate any logistics regarding physical access to the project area (reference Section III for contact information).

b. Contact all adjoining private property owner(s), if applicable, to provide times and dates of entry and obtain permission if needed or required by local jurisdictions (reference Section III for contact information). For larger projects, a general window of anticipated field work can be provided in lieu of specific times and dates. Please coordinate with the Technical POC listed in Section III to determine appropriate level of notification.

c. Contact the local utility line location services (811) if there are any indications of utility infrastructure in the project area. Contractor is responsible for any damaged utility lines from survey activities. Please request that markings on hard surfaces be minimized to the greatest extent possible.

2. Records Research

a. The land surveyor shall use due diligence in conducting the necessary research required to complete the tasks listed herein. In most circumstances, the chain of title should be researched back to the parent tract of land, and all descriptions of land (subject and adjoiner) should be plotted and checked for potential errors leading to misclosure. The occurrence of deed ambiguities and scrivener’s errors should be identified and assessed.

Special attention should focus on exceptions and reservations of land and any other encumbrances to title.

b. To the extent available, NPS will supplement the land surveyor’s due diligent research with a title commitment, government deeds, land status maps, and other documents in the possession of NPS related to the project.

3. Investigate Boundary Line Evidence

a. The character and location of evidence of possession or occupation along the perimeter of the surveyed property, both by the occupants of the surveyed property and by adjoiners, observed in the process of conducting the fieldwork.

b. Without expressing a legal opinion as to the ownership or nature of the potential encroachment, the evidence, location and extent of any conflicting boundary evidence related to record title documents.

c. The diligent search for and the location of natural monumentation, original monumentation, local control, controlling corners, witness corners, reference monuments, corner accessories, adjoiner monumentation, on-line and off-line monumentation, spurious monumentation, and other supporting evidence of monumentation that may be indicated in the chain of title and the survey record.

SOW, Boundary Survey Services Page 4 of 10

d. The location, size, character, and type of any monuments found during the fieldwork, including legislated park boundary monuments and private property boundary monuments.

e. The diligent search for and the location of any (i.e. blazed trees, wire fences, stone fences, stone rows, plow lines, tree lines, rivers, creeks, and banks).

f. The diligent search for and the location, description, and character of any natural or manmade feature that appears to delineate or control the boundaries of the surveyed property (i.e. blazed trees, walls, wire fences, roads, stone, plow lines, tree lines, rivers, creeks, and banks).

4. Existing Survey Monuments

a. Any existing local monuments recovered and accepted as demarking property boundary extents will be left in place or remonumented to meet the local standards or requirements.

b. The evidence of all lines of occupation and possession along the perimeter of the subject tract will be evaluated and located during the course of the survey.

c. Any recovered monuments purporting to mark boundary corner locations which are found to be deficient or are not accepted as originally intended will be noted on the plat, including a brief summary of the evidence used to make this determination.

These corners will be considered lost, requiring a new survey monument be established at the most defensible location of the boundary corner.

d. In the event any existing survey monument(s) established by prior National Park Service surveys (either contract or in-house) are not accepted as boundary monuments as noted above in 4.b, the letters “RM” will be added to the monument cap along with an arrow pointing towards the actual boundary line or angle point and the year of the current survey. If there is enough space on the cap, the distance to the actual corner location will be included near the arrow.

5. New Survey Monuments

Monument materials will not be provided and will be purchased separately by the land surveyor. Please contact the NPS Technical POC for assistance or approvals needed in ordering monuments with Department of the Interior caps.

See the NPS Standard Cap Logo below:

SOW, Boundary Survey Services Page 5 of 10

a. Monuments established along the boundary of the subject tract or coincident with an existing federal boundary, will be at minimum a ¾ inch diameter iron rod or rebar, 30 inches long with a 3¼ inch diameter cap bearing the NPS Standard Cap Logo, marked with the relevant corner identification information, the license number of the Professional Land Surveyor in responsible charge, and the year set.

i. Monuments established in rock or concrete surfaces will be at minimum a 2½ inch diameter brass or bronze cap with a 27/8 inch stem, bearing the NPS Standard Cap Logo, drilled and set in place with concrete or epoxy, and be marked as stated above.

ii. Monuments established in remote areas should use a 2½ inch diameter, 30-inch-long aluminum or stainless-steel regulation post, with a 3¼ inch diameter cap bearing the NPS Standard Cap Logo, and be marked as stated above.

iii. Monuments established in urban areas may differ from the specifications above, given that they comply with current federal, state, or local requirements and are permitted by the NPS Regional Land Surveyor.

iv. The NPS Regional Land Surveyor may permit the use of alternative monumentation on a case-by-case basis.

v. All monuments with the NPS Standard Cap Logo will be oriented north and at minimum will bear the registration number of the professional land surveyor in responsible charge, the year set, and corner numbering. All markings will be carefully arranged, neat, distinct, and durable.

b. Corner locations that are not suitable for monumentation will have a reference or witness monument installed to the same criteria listed above, established as close as practical to the actual corner, and will clearly note “RM” or “WC” with an arrow pointing towards the actual corner location. If there is enough space on the cap, the distance to the actual corner location will be included near the arrow.

c. Natural monuments that are prone to becoming lost, such as trees and stones, should be remonumented, witnessed, or referenced as necessary to perpetuate the corner location.

d. Corner locations that are identical with structures will be witnessed or referenced as necessary to perpetuate the corner location.

e. New corner accessories, such as witness marks/hacks on trees, bearing trees, swing ties, XBO’s, and chisel marks are recommended to evidence the position of the corner monument for future recovery efforts and for the potential restoration of the corner.

f. Detailed field notes will be kept documenting the description of all new corner monuments and their accessories, memorials, and ties.

g. All temporary control points and traverse points established will be removed after field work is completed and the final deliverables have been approved.

Please consult with the NPS land surveyor if site conditions warrant the use of unique survey monumentation.

6. Other Survey Tasks

a. All areas and features of encroachment onto USA lands (examples include cleared land, mowed areas, gardens, fences, buildings, roads, trails, riprap, etc.) Note the area of the encroachment(s) as surveyed in acres to the nearest hundredth (0.01).

Parcels less than 0.01 acres will be reported in square feet. The length of linear

SOW, Boundary Survey Services Page 6 of 10 encroachment features will be noted to the nearest tenth of a foot (0.1). Photos (with information on what the photo depicts) of all encroachments will be taken and provided as a deliverable.

b. Establish boundary marker posts to be placed 1) at each corner of federal land alongside the monument and 2) at intervisible intervals along federal interest boundary lines, at a maximum distance of 300 ft. NPS boundary post materials will not be provided by NPS. Materials not provided by NPS will be ordered to the following specifications: Metal T-posts, medium duty at a minimum of 1.0 lb.

per foot. If there are necessary or recommended alterations to the required posting materials consult with the technical point of contact in section III, herein.

SURVEY STANDARDS OF CARE:

1. Other Requirements and Standards of Practice - Many states and some local jurisdictions have adopted statutes, administrative rules, and/or ordinances that set out standards regulating the practice of surveying within their jurisdictions. In addition to the standards set forth herein, surveyors must also conduct their surveys in accordance with applicable jurisdictional survey requirements and standards of practice. Where conflicts between the standards set forth herein and any such jurisdictional requirements and standards of practice occur, the more stringent must apply.

2. Prior Federal Surveys - The procedures used to recover or reestablish any previous federal survey monuments or lines that control the location of any project boundary will comply with the federal “Manual of Survey Instructions” in affect at the time of the survey. New monuments or controlling corners not previously established will comply with the most current “Manual” version prepared by the Bureau of Land Management, unless otherwise indicated by this document. Federal surveys include all approved Public Land Surveys or official federal boundary surveys completed for the National Park Service or other agency.

3. Boundary Resolution - The boundary lines and corners of any property or interest in real property being surveyed as part of this contract must be laid out in an original survey or by retracement of existing boundary lines in accordance with appropriate boundary law principles and location doctrines governed by the set of facts and evidence found in the course of performing the research and fieldwork.

4. Measurement Standards - The acceptable relative positional accuracy of the survey is the same as identified in the current version of Section C, NSPS Classifications and Accuracy Standards for Property Surveys.

SURVEY & MAPPING CONTROL:

All reported horizontal distances will be based on ground measurements in either U.S. or International Feet at the discretion of the surveyor or as required by law. The basis of bearings for the project is at the discretion of the surveyor. Both the units and basis of bearings will be noted on the plat.

At least two survey monuments (existing or new) within the project extents will serve as mapping control points. These can be existing property corner monuments, project control points, NGS monuments or combination thereof. Both will be described and referenced on the final plat in Hawaii State Plane Grid Coordinates, Zone 3, NAD

SOW, Boundary Survey Services Page 7 of 10

83(2011), The grid coordinate pairs for each point and combined scale factor from ground to grid will also be noted. If either control point is not a boundary monument, sufficient information will be included to tie it to a boundary monument. These points should be located on opposite sides of the project area if possible.

At least one of the control points will be occupied by a dual-frequency GPS unit for a minimum of four hours. A current Online Positional User Service (OPUS) solution data sheet for this monument will be provided as a deliverable. If site conditions prevent the use of GPS equipment, sufficient information will be included on the plat as to the procedure and control utilized to determine coordinate information.

DELIVERABLES:

All deliverables and products created under this project including such items certified plats of survey, field notes and research documents used to produce this survey and descriptions are considered property of the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.

At a minimum, one land survey plat will be prepared on an 18”x24” (Architectural C) or 24”x36” (Architectural D) map sheet. The size will be based on any state or local requirements or the surveyor’s professional opinion as to the appropriate degree of precision to convey the required information in an easy to understand manner. A copy of this plat will be deposited or recorded in the designated public land records office in which the project is located. In jurisdictions where no recording procedures exist for plat recordation, two signed and sealed original plats will be provided to NPS.

Detailed information or decisions related to corner evidence, acceptance or rejection of conflicting monuments, land records research, or any other unique situations that are not required to be documented on the face of the plat but are deemed important to the survey results will be provided as a separate Land Surveyors Report to accompany the plat. The report will be signed, sealed and dated by the surveyor in responsible charge of the project.
