C.1 CHIPPEWA NATIONAL FOREST CADASTRAL SURVEY:

END-RESULT SPECIFICATIONS

3000 SCOPE OF CONTRACT

The intent of this contract is to procure surveying services on an “as needed” basis for a period of up to five years from date of initial award.

3100 PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

All work performed under this contract shall be under the direct supervision of a Professional Surveyor licensed in Minnesota. All surveys shall comply with applicable state laws and regulations, as well as applicable portions of the appropriate GLO/BLM Manual of Surveying Instructions.

The work to be performed under this contract involves retracement surveys of the Public Land Survey System (PLSS). The surveys will be performed between accepted controlling corner positions to reestablish lost or obliterated General Land Office (GLO) corners and to establish section subdivisional corners designated by the COR. Government property boundaries will be designated for posting to Forest Service standards. A Certificate of Survey may be required to be prepared for recordation. Topographic surveys may be requested in conjunction with boundary surveys.

The Chippewa National Forest is located as shown on the project vicinity map (Exhibit 1). Actual work locations and services to be performed have not been determined at this time. These will be specified by delivery/task order(s), issued when the Government determines its specific surveying needs.

The Government will guarantee to purchase a minimum of $5,000 in services.

The total amount of services contracted will not exceed $2,000,000 over the life of the contract. Award of this contract will not restrict the Government from having cadastral surveying or topographic services performed by Government employees or others during the contract period.

The following specifications are specific requirements of the work performed under this contract in addition to (or as a clarification of) the professional services listed above.

3122 SURVEY METHODS AND PROCEDURES

The Contractor shall select the methods and instruments to be used for field data collection and boundary location. Methods such as photogrammetry, traverse, triangulation, and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) may be used. The system selected shall meet the accuracy standards prescribed by the State of Minnesota. Where state standards are less restrictive than the specifications contained herein, the specifications contained herein shall apply.

All work shall be performed in a safe manner and in accordance with OSHA regulation. Refer to Exhibit 2, the Land Surveying Job Hazard Analysis (JHA), for examples of work hazards and abatement actions that may be taken to prevent accidents. Note that federal law requires at least a Class 2 high visibility safety vest be worn by workers within the right-of-way of federally funded highways. For the scope of this contract safety vests are required to be worn for any work performed along county maintained roadways. The Contracting Officer may, in writing, require the Contractor to remove from the work any employee found to be working in an unsafe manner.

3122.1 Survey Standards

The position of each corner and/or piece of evidence (BT stumps, topo calls, etc.) reestablished, established or found must be determined as part of a closed traverse loop, an acceptable radial tie, or a point positioning procedure designed to meet the standards prescribed by the State of Minnesota and/or the specifications contained herein (Exhibit 11.) Proposed procedure for performing radial ties shall be included in the Contractor’s Quality Control Plan and submitted to the COR at the post award conference. The precision of each traverse loop shall be demonstrated in the field notes and closure report required in Section 3160. An appropriate adjustment is required to be performed on all traverse loops with errors > 0.20’, but may be performed on all loops. The standard for locating the boundary line between corners is specified in Section 3146.

3122.2 Determination of Bearing

The method used to determine a bearing base for each project must be capable of establishing astronomic, geodetic, or state plane grid azimuth to within 1 minute of arc. Assumed bearings will not be accepted.

3122.3 Use of Global Navigation Satellite Systems

Geodetic/survey grade GNSS equipment and methods may be utilized for measurements by contractors having that capability when it saves cost and/or time compared to conventional methods. The use of GNSS to measure a line does not relieve the Contractor from the responsibility to search and evaluate all evidence of GLO and/or subsequent surveys and to tie evidence of encroachment and occupation onto Government land.

If field procedures include the use of GNSS equipment, clearing the site location is limited to shrubs and trees under 6 inches in diameter. The COR must approve all other clearing on National Forest System lands by the Contractor. All clearing on privately owned lands must be approved in writing by the property owner.

All GNSS work shall conform to the Bureau of Land Management “Standards For the Positional Accuracy of Cadastral Surveys When using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS)” incorporated into the BLM’s Permanent Instruction Memorandum (PIM) 2020-004. Note that these standards refer to 3-dimensional position solutions at the 95% confidence level. If Real Time Kinematic (RTK) techniques are used, ensure that repeat measurement tolerances are set at or below required positional accuracy at the 95% confidence level. A minimum of 3 independent measurements of at least 30 epochs of data shall be collected for each RTK point. Any station with uncertainties greater than those outlined in these standards will either need to be re-occupied or made part of a conventional traverse to confirm the coordinate values. Distances between intervisible pairs of project GNSS control points shall be checked by EDM measurement prior to utilizing control to perform additional conventional traverse or radial ties.

3122.4 Records Research

It is the Contractor's responsibility to research the records of public agencies, and private records to the extent possible, to obtain the survey history of the subject property and relevant adjoining properties. The Contractor shall provide the results of any records research to the COR prior to the start of field work. Copies of any subsequent research shall also be provided to the COR as they are acquired.

The Government will provide the Contractor information in their possession:

Government title records, any corner recovery information and previous survey records at the time of Request for Services. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to evaluate corner and survey records for accuracy and completeness.

3122.5 Adjoiner notification

Prior to the start of field work, the Contractor shall develop a list of adjoining property owners and notify the effected adjoiners of the pending survey in writing (see Exhibit 7 for example). In addition to notification, the letter will address the necessity for access, marking of accessories and minor clearing of line on private land if necessary. A list of adjoiners, including property descriptions, shall be provided to the COR prior to the start of field work.

3122.6 Conflicts and Encroachments

The Contractor is not required to resolve title or possession conflicts, but shall accurately report the facts and any professional opinions that are relevant to the conflict prior to posting boundary lines. The Contractor shall identify, by survey, any encroachments or lines of occupation along the boundaries of NFS lands. The nature and extent of the encroachment or lines of occupation shall be documented in a narrative as part of the Report of Survey as well as graphically on the Control Diagram and Certificate(s) of Survey drawings.

3122.7 Field Notes and Point Numbering

During the field work, the contractor will keep a record of the survey in a field book with sufficient detail to provide verification of the final survey record.

Field notes should be well organized, accurate, neat, legible, detailed and complete. They should contain sketches roughly to scale that accurately depict and clarify the ground survey and contain neatly printed annotation and a north arrow. Avoid crowding too much information onto a page.

Field data should be recorded in such a manner as to allow another technically qualified person to readily retrace the survey without consultation with the Contractor. Field notes shall include information on all monuments recovered and set, including: monument size and type, height above or below ground, reference to occupation lines and roads, and accessories listed in clockwise order from North.

If the Contractor uses an electronic data collector, the raw data file shall contain all measurements and error checks and be submitted as part of the Report of Survey. Hardcopy field notes are also required as summary documentation of field measurements and monument information as required above.

In an effort to maintain clarity and consistency of Forest Service survey records, the contractor shall generally adhere to the following point numbering scheme:

1-499 Survey Control Measurements (Geodetic Control, Section

Corners, “Survey Grade” Pos.)

500-999 Mapping Positions (Centerline, Buildings, fence lines, tree lines, etc) 1000-1999 Computed Points (Computed in the field/ on data collector) 2000-2999 Computed Points (Office computed)

Any deviations, by necessity, needs to be approved by the COR.

All descriptive codes used for points should be concise, consistent, and easy to interpret.

3122.8 Clearing for Control Survey

Clearing shall be kept to the minimum necessary for the survey. Survey operation should be kept on Government land whenever possible. No timber or brush of scenic or commercial value shall be cut along control traverse lines. The contractor is responsible for obtaining permission from landowners prior to clearing line on private land.

3125 CONTROL DIAGRAM

The Contractor shall electronically provide a control diagram in an AutoCAD compatible .dwg file showing reduced data of the control survey and any survey computations made to determine property boundaries. If the project is within a township that the Contractor has previously performed work for the Government, then the AutoCAD file shall contain both the previous work as well as the current project work.

Control diagrams shall be drawn to a scale of 1”=800’ with dimension text at a height of 64. Diagrams should be configured to plot on no larger than an “E” size sheet. A surveyor’s legend shall be included to identify record measurements by the 3 initials of the surveyor’s name.

The legend shall also state monument type for section subdivisional corners set. All diagrams shall also contain statements regarding the project combined grid factor and conversion to ground units, the method of section subdivision, and a concise narrative of any existing conflicting monumentation found and why it was not accepted.

A preliminary control diagram and Land Corner Recordation Certificates (LCRC’s) for all GLO corners requiring monumentation shall be provided to the COR prior to the posting or monumentation on any project. A narrative report shall be included with the control diagram and shall describe the basis for the survey decisions made and a discussion of the evidence, methods, and procedures used in determining the location of all controlling corners within the survey.

The COR will be allowed 5 working days to review the submitted documentation. A comma delimited text file of coordinates with descriptors for each point shall be provided with all diagrams. If the control diagram contains previous work within a township, then point numbers shall not be reused within the current project work (see Section 3122.7 for point numbering standards). A final control diagram showing all survey control shall be included in the Report of Survey as specified in Section 3160.

3130 CORNER MAINTENANCE AND ACCESSORIES

Maintenance of existing corners must be approved by the COR and shall only be performed when requested through a delivery/task order. When maintenance is performed, the Contractor shall ensure that existing monuments are firmly and securely set. The Contractor shall also ensure that existing signs on posts and trees are securely attached and legible. Signs that are damaged or deteriorated shall be replaced. The Contractor shall establish new bearing trees or objects to replace dead, damaged, dying, or missing bearing trees or objects in accordance with Section 3137. Signs to be used are shown in Exhibit 3. Sign placement shall be in accordance with Exhibit 4.

3130.1 Brush and debris within a 3-foot radius of the corner shall be cleared away.

3130.2

The Contractor shall notify the COR of any damaged or missing monuments.

3135 CORNER MONUMENTATION AND ACCESSORIES

3136 Monumentation

All original GLO corners requiring monumentation under this contract shall be perpetuated or reestablished using a monument provided by the Government. Section subdivisional and other corners will be marked with a monument that meets State of Minnesota requirements and will be supplied by the Contractor and monument type will be included in all drawing legends.

Corner positions that fall in non-hard surface roadways shall be set 10-12” below the surface of the road. Corner positions that fall in hard surface roadways shall be monumented in such a way that complies with any requirements of the agency having jurisdiction over the roadway and the State of Minnesota. All corner positions reestablished/established shall meet the specifications in Section 3122.1.

3136.1 Monument Stamping

All original GLO corners monumented under this contract using a monument provided by the Government shall be stamped in accordance with the current BLM Manual of Surveying Instructions (limited examples shown in Exhibit 4). The Contractor should make examples of proper stamping readily available to field staff to avoid incorrect stamping. Monuments that are incorrectly stamped by the Contractor will be replaced with a properly stamped monument at the Contractor’s expense. In addition to the corner designation and year the monument was set, the surveyor’s license number shall be stamped on the lower portion of the cap. A 1/8” stamp set shall be used for all monument and sign stamping.

3136.2 Signing

Signs to be used are shown in Exhibit 3. Sign placement and attachment shall be in accordance with Exhibit 4. All metal or fiberglass posts and signs will be provided by the Government. Each bearing tree requires a sign 54-3. All other accessories such as posts or poles require a sign 54-5. Posts or poles should only be used as accessories as a last resort.

Each corner monumented under this contract shall have a metal post with sign 54-9 attached or fiberglass post with decal P71-10 affixed, placed within 1 foot of the monument and along the property line where the corner does not fall in a roadway. For corners that fall in a roadway and a line originating from the corner is being posted, then a fiberglass post with decal P54-1 will be set along the line at the approximate road right-of-way limit. For corners that fall in a roadway and a line originating from the corner is not being posted, then a fiberglass post with decal P71-10 will be set at the approximate road right-of-way limit and facing the corner. For forest roads of unknown right-of-way width, posts shall be placed at an appropriate distance from the corner as to not sustain damage from road use and/or maintenance activities.

3137 Bearing Trees and Accessories

All corners established, reestablished and/or maintained in this contract shall have a minimum of four accessories marked in accordance with Exhibit 4, unless otherwise directed by the COR. Bearing trees should typically be greater than 30 feet from the corner, outside of road rights-of-way, greater than 30° apart, and be selected based on their durability (refer to Exhibit 6 for excerpts from BLM training publication “Durability of Bearing Trees”). If historical bearing trees are found to not meet the above criteria, they should still be remeasured and included as an additional accessory to the corner. If historical bearing trees are either in poor condition or within 10 feet of the corner, they should be shown in addition to the minimum four “good” accessories.

Bearing to the center of the base of accessories shall be referenced to true North and have a tolerance of ±4°. Note that metal objects, such as watches, pencil clips, spikes, hammers, etc. should not be in or near hands when obtaining bearings using a magnetic compass. To ensure an accurate compass reading the compass must be held level so the needle swings freely and independent readings should be taken at least twice. Accessories shall always be listed in clockwise order from North. Note that posts identifying the corner are not considered accessories for the purpose of reestablishing the corner position and should be listed last. Location of reference nails in accessories shall be reported as well as horizontal distances to the nearest 0.1 feet. Note that it typically requires two people to effectively tape an accurate horizontal distance, slope distance is not acceptable.

3138 Recordation of Corner Certificates

For each GLO corner position monumented or maintained under this contract, a corner certificate meeting the requirements of Minnesota state law shall be prepared. Corner certificates may also be required for section subdivisional corner when ordered under item 3B. The certificate will document the entire survey history of the corner position, including method of any previous restoration and measurements made to adjacent controlling corners. The current condition of all previous accessories for the corner shall also be noted and all accessories in good condition shall be included in Part C. For clarity and consistency, the format for submitted LCRC’s shall be similar to that shown in Exhibit 9.

If conflicting monumentation is recovered at a corner position, this shall be documented on the LCRC. Rationale for accepting and rejecting positions when conflicting monumentation exists shall be presented in a concise but detailed and defendable manner. A detailed list of all collateral evidence supporting the decision for acceptance or rejection shall be included. In order to maintain clarity for the reader, it is imperative that the narrative be as concise as possible and focus on the evidence recovered, not necessarily on how it was recovered.

Preliminary LCRC’s for all GLO corners requiring monumentation along with a preliminary control diagram shall be provided to the COR prior to the posting or monumentation of any designated project. The COR will be allowed 5 working days to review the submitted documentation. A maximum of 1 GLO or 2 section subdivisional corners shall be documented per form.

Prior to recordation, the final certificate(s) will be submitted to the COR for review.

3140 PROPERTY LINE MAINTENANCE AND REPOSTING

Maintenance and/or reposting of previously surveyed and marked property line may be requested to be performed through a delivery/task order.

3141 Property Line Maintenance

Maintenance shall consist of repainting existing line and corner posts, line and off line trees, and corner accessories. If fiberglass posts are found along property lines, then florescent pink flagging shall be tied along the tops. If corner posts are found to be missing or in poor condition, they shall be replaced. A report shall be submitted noting the density of vegetation along the lines, the general condition of the line posts, and condition of corner accessories.

3142 Property Line Reposting

If the condition of a previously marked line(s) is reported to be extremely over grown and/or no longer adequately posted, then reposting of the line may be requested through a delivery/task order. Reposting may consist of clearing the property line, placing additional posts and signs, and blazing and painting trees in accordance with Sections 3146 thru 3147.4 or as directed by the COR.

3145 PROPERTY LINE LOCATION AND POSTING

The Contractor shall locate and post the property lines in accordance with the following specifications.

3146 Locating the Property Line

The position of property corners controlling the location of the property line shall be based on the deeded ownership of the USA and located by survey methods that ensure that they meet or exceed the accuracy requirements set forth in Section 3122. If a conflict is discovered between deeded ownership of the USA and 1 or more adjoiners, this shall be brought to the attention of the COR prior to any marking or posting. Documentation of conflicting title lines shall be included as part of the Report of Survey as specified in Section 3160.

3147 Posting the Property Line

Posting is the act of placing posts and signs along the property line so that it is readily identifiable. The posts and signs defining the property line shall have a positional error tolerance of +/- 1.0 feet in relation to the boundary line being posted. Some of the signs that are available are shown on Exhibit 3.

All signs and posts will be provided by the government.

3147.1 Clearing Property Line

When requested, the property line will be cleared of small trees, brush, and debris to allow easy foot travel, unless the line is defined by a feature such as a hedge. It is not necessary to remove existing large down logs from the line.

Trees over 6 inches in diameter shall not be cut along property lines. All cutting debris shall be placed on the government side of the line. If greater than 50% of the property lines for a designated project cross densely vegetated wetland, the Forest Service may provide a sawyer, if available, upon request of the Contractor.

If a chainsaw is used for line clearing, the following personal protective equipment (PPE) is required for the operator: Forest Service approved hardhat (ANSI Z89.1-1997, Type1, Class E), eye protection, hearing protection (85 dB and above), appropriate gloves (cut-resistant for chain filing), long sleeved shirt, chainsaw chaps that meet the requirements of FS Spec 6170-4, heavy duty, cut resistant or leather 8” high laced boots with nonskid soles.

3147.2 Boundary Sign Placement

Posting the property line shall include placing fiberglass line posts along the true property line located to the standard specified in Section 3147. A properly designed driver shall be used to install posts to a minimum depth of 24”. Florescent pink flagging shall be tied to the top of each post to increase their visibility along the line.

Line posts shall be placed at ridge, stream, road, and trail crossings. Where Forest Service trails and roads are intersected, posts shall be placed 5-10 feet either side of the traveled roadway. Where county roads are intersected, posts shall be placed at approximate right-of-way limits. Posts shall be placed 75- 125 feet from each corner controlling the location of the property line where the corner does not fall in a roadway. Where corners fall in a roadway, the first post shall be placed as directed above then the second post shall be placed 75-125 feet from the first. Additional posts shall be placed at not more than 300 foot intervals elsewhere along the line. Exact interval between posts will be dependent upon terrain. Posts shall be placed so as to be intervisible, if the trees and brush were removed.

3147.3 Blazing and Painting Property Line

When requested, posting the property line shall include blazing all trees (over 4 in. dia.) on National Forest lands within arms reach (±3’) of the property line. If a situation is encountered where many closely spaced trees falls within arms reach of the property line, then trees may be blazed at ±30 foot intervals.

The only acceptable tool for blazing is a sharp long handled axe. New blazes should be narrow and just through the bark into the live wood tissue. Old blazes along the property line shall not be reopened, just repainted. Trees located on private lands will not be marked but may be repainted if previously blazed. See Exhibit 5 for blazing specifications.

A durable, oil-based red enamel paint shall be applied to all blazes, new and old, on trees used to mark the property line and bearing tree blazes and bands.

Oil-based paint is to be applied only with a disposable brush and shall be applied in sufficient quantity to completely cover the entire surface of the blaze. All use of oil-based paint shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s material safety data sheet.

3147.4 Visually Sensitive Areas

Visually sensitive areas near houses and public use areas should be posted in a less visible manner. The COR shall be contacted if the visually sensitive nature of an area is in question. Areas determined to be visually sensitive shall only be posted using fiberglass posts with decals P54-1 and P71-10.

Tree blazes and paint will be limited to areas outside of the visually sensitive areas.

3150 CERTIFICATE OF SURVEY

The Contractor shall prepare a recordable Certificate of Survey drawing when included as part of the scope of work. The control diagram should not be included as part of the certificate. The certificate(s) shall show the relationship of recovered, reestablished and established corner positions used for the survey. This may also include corner positions measured under previous delivery/task orders. A description of all monuments recovered, reestablished and established along with their accessories shall be included on the certificate(s). Any monuments found near a corner position and rejected shall also be described and shown. Distance from monument to any line(s) of occupation shall be included in the description.

The National Forest property boundary posted shall be shown with a heavier solid line. All overlaps, hiatus, lines of occupation and/or encroachments will be clearly shown on the drawing, whether created by deed calls, man-made features or monumentation.

All certificates of survey will display measured distance, as well as previous record data, in US Feet. Projects performed using a state plane grid system shall display distances as grid in US Feet. The certificate shall include a statement describing the distance units, mean project combined grid factor, and a conversion formula from grid to ground distance. All certificates shall also contain statements regarding the method of section subdivision and a concise narrative of any existing conflicting monumentation found and why it was not accepted. The certificate shall also include a data table listing the geodetic and grid coordinates, to at least 2 decimal places, for all GLO and section subdivisional corner positions recovered, reestablished and established.

The survey drawing shall be prepared using a CAD system and shall be of high quality and to professional standards. Drawings should be sharp, clean, distinct, and legible. Submission of the certificate is required in both hard copy and an AutoCAD compatible .dwg file. The AutoCAD file shall include all point data, including descriptors for each point, but need not include the Contractor’s drawing border.

All Contractor produced AutoCAD drawings shall become the property of the Government and the Government shall have the right to reuse these items in future projects as it sees fit without further compensation to the Contractor.

3151 Conflicts and Encroachments

Information regarding visible signs of encroachment, trespass, or lines of occupation shall be shown on the certificate of survey. The extent of all encroachments shall be detailed on the certificate. If a project does not require a certificate of survey, the extent of all encroachments shall be detailed on the control diagram.

3152 Filing or Recording of Certificates and LCRC Forms

The Contractor shall file or record the certificate of survey and the applicable LCRC forms in the appropriate jurisdiction in accordance with local and state statutes.

Prior to filing or recording, one hard copy of the certificate and any land corner recordation forms shall be submitted to the COR for final review and acceptance. The Contractor may be asked to present/defend their corner position(s) before a county remonumentation peer review group. After acceptance and recordation, a copy of the recorded data with county filing information shall be furnished to the Government.

3155 TOPOGRAPHIC MAP

When topographic surveying is requested, the size and scale of the drawing will be specified in the scope of work. The survey drawing shall be prepared using a CAD system and shall be of high quality and to professional standards. Drawings should be sharp, clean, distinct, and legible. Submission of the topographic map is required in both hard copy and an AutoCAD compatible .dwg file. The AutoCAD file shall include all point data, including descriptors for each point, but need not include the Contractor’s drawing border.

3160 SUMMARY OF SURVEY SUBMITTALS
