Topographic survey for the Old Sauk Trails Business Park

The City of Madison, Wisconsin Department of Public Works Engineering Division is soliciting bids for a comprehensive topographic survey of the Old Sauk Trails Business Park, covering approximately 34 acres. The procurement seeks a detailed topographic mapping project that includes greenway features, elevations, existing utilities, bathymetric elevation data, and all trees over 3 inches in diameter. A registered land surveyor must oversee the work, with specific requirements to map significant street features, property boundaries, iron pins, easements, and right-of-way boundaries. Proposals were due electronically by 4:00 PM on November 4, 2022, with an anticipated contract award by December 6, 2022, and project authorization by December 9, 2022. The project deliverables are split into two parts: Part 1 due January 31, 2023, and Part 2 due April 15, 2023. Survey data must be submitted in digital format compatible with Autodesk Civil 3D 2020 on Windows 10, and must comprehensively document existing conditions to support future design and reconstruction activities.

The contract requires contractors to have comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 in commercial general liability and $1,000,000 in professional liability. Contractors must comply with City of Madison Standard Terms and Conditions, including affirmative action requirements based on employee count and annual business volume, and prevailing wage regulations where applicable. While no specific set-aside designations were mentioned, the project includes provisions for utility verification documentation from non-City utilities. The survey must extend at least 50 feet beyond project improvements and include coverage of upstream and downstream structures and culvert ends. Although a specific budget was not explicitly stated, the City allows for lump sum pricing or Time and Materials contracts with a "not to exceed" limit for contractors unable to provide definitive pricing due to incomplete existing data. All survey data will become the property of the City of Madison, with final payment being withheld at a minimum of 10 percent until all surveys are completed and accepted.
