PURPOSE: To award a contract for professional services associated with a topographic
survey of the property planned for the Northern Human Services Center Park.
BACKGROUND: On June 3, the Board approved a process for the creation of a master plan
for Northern Human Services Center Park. In order to design the park infrastructure and
facilities, the County needs the property surveyed to provide the topographic mapping (one-
foot contours) and location data (structures, streams, specimen trees).
Orange County solicited proposals from 9 local surveyors and received 4 responses.
Selection criteria included, but were not limited to, the quality of the proposal, technical
capabilities, and previous experience in performing survey work for the County. The
selection committee chose Landmark Surveying, Inc. to perform the needed services for an
estimated cost of $39,675. County policy requires Board approval for expenditures with
licensed professionals, specifically architects, engineers and surveyors.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The projected cost of the survey is $39,675. With approximately 20
percent of the survey work relating to the Northern Human Services Center wastewater
system, staff recommends that the total cost of the work be prorated between the park
project and the facility renovation project. It should be noted that all of the proposed survey
work is necessary regardless of any outcomes related to wastewater treatment on the
2
property. Sufficient funds are available, in projects approved by the Board in prior years, to
cover the anticipated cost of the survey.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board authorize ERCD to
work with the Purchasing Director in executing a contract with Landmark Surveying, Inc. for a
topographic survey of the Northern Human Services Center Park property.
