This document consists of technical exhibit specifications for the Professional Land Survey Services Request for Proposal issued by Tuolumne County in partnership with the USDA Forest Service, Stanislaus National Forest. The exhibits provide detailed standards and requirements for survey work including corner monument placement, bearing trees, boundary line marking protocols, signage specifications, and metal delineator post installations. The RFP was issued on April 14, 2023, with proposals due by 4:00 pm on May 3, 2023. The initial contract term is three years with potential for three one-year extensions, with task orders to be issued on an as-needed basis for projects ranging from under 500 acres to over 3,000 acres. All survey work must be completed by or under the direct supervision of a California-licensed surveyor in compliance with state and local laws and Bureau of Land Management manual instructions.

The technical specifications outlined in these exhibits establish mandatory standards for survey monument placement, boundary delineation methods including blazes, hacks, and marking protocols, and signage placement requirements. Notably, the specifications require that permission be obtained from adjoining landowners before clearing, marking, painting, or signing their side of boundary lines. The contract will be structured with a not-to-exceed amount per year basis with task orders issued as needed. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are designated. The project is part of the Yosemite Stanislaus Solutions collaborative effort focused on forest and watershed health protection and enhancement, with the Tuolumne River Trust designated to supervise contractors and oversee project work. The contract incorporates fire prevention guidelines based on the Project Activity Level system, which provides operational restrictions during line clearing activities according to fire danger ratings and environmental conditions.
