Right-of-way will be shown from Township Tax Map and County GIS information. A. We will conduct a field survey for Helen Avenue, Lawrence Avenue, Florence Place, and Lowell Avenue within the project scope and all adjacent intersections. The project length for all four (4) roads is approximately 3,581 linear feet. The survey will include the following: ▪ Establishing of elevation benchmarks outside of the anticipated area of construction. Benchmarks will be placed at the beginning and end of project limit, and at least two in the construction limits. Vertical control will be based on NAVD 1988. Detailed descriptions of the elevation benchmarks shall be shown on the Plan

ginning and end of project limit, and at least two in the construction limits. Vertical control will be based on NAVD 1988. Detailed descriptions of the elevation benchmarks shall be shown on the Plan Sheets. Section I | Page 2
