Topographic Survey at Robin Greenway and West Towne Pond

The City of Madison Engineering Division is seeking a registered land surveyor to perform comprehensive topographic mapping for two project sites: Robin Greenway (approximately 3 acres at 4613 Gregg Road) and West Towne Pond (approximately 25 acres at 6715 Mineral Point Road). The survey requires detailed mapping of greenway channels, ponds, utilities, trees over 3 inches in diameter, bathymetric elevations, property features, easements, and right-of-way boundaries. Specific survey requirements include minimum 25-foot shot intervals, full cross-sections, and a 50-foot grid for areas outside channels, with all survey data collected in Wisconsin Coordinate Reference Systems (WISCRS) and compatible with Autodesk Civil 3D 2020. Proposals must be submitted electronically to Sarah Lerner at slerner@cityofmadison.com by 4:00 PM on November 4, 2022. The City anticipates awarding the contract by December 6, 2022, with work authorization on December 9, 2022. Deliverables for Robin Greenway are due January 31, 2023, and West Towne Pond deliverables are due April 1, 2023.

The contract requires the successful bidder to employ a registered land surveyor and comply with City of Madison standard contract terms. Insurance requirements include Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, Workers' Compensation, and Professional Liability of not less than $1,000,000 each. The contract includes affirmative action requirements and nondiscrimination provisions. Payment will be made monthly upon satisfactory completion and City acceptance of services, with a minimum of 10 percent of final payment withheld until all deliverables are completed and accepted. The contract is structured as two line items: a lump-sum survey for Robin Greenway and a separate lump-sum survey for West Towne Ponds. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids and is not obligated to select the lowest bidder. While no specific set-aside designations or incumbent vendor information is provided, the detailed technical specifications and comprehensive survey requirements suggest this is a specialized contract targeting professional surveying firms with advanced mapping capabilities.
