Township of West Orange Department of Engineering Land Surveying and Civil Engineering Services — Luddington Road — Sidewalk Panel Replacement SECTION II - Professional Information Firms Understanding of Purpose/Goals/Objectives Boswell understands that the Township intends to replace the existing, dilapidated concrete sidewalk in the vicinity of 25 Luddington Road within the Township. Boswell has reviewed all available documents, including tax maps, topographic data, aerial photography and NJ Geoweb data, to ensure thorough understanding of the site conditions and project scope. Successful completion of the project will require a comprehensive land survey, civil engineering design, permit application, public bid assistance, and construction administration, which will be executed with a collaborative, transparent, and schedule-conscious methodology in alignment while enhancing vital infrastructure for the community. Scope of Services Boswell will provide land surveying and civil engineering services to commensurate with the needs of the Township. These services include, but are not limited to, the following: 1, Land Surveying Services Boswell's survey field crew will perform a topographic and existing conditions survey within the existing right-of way of the project area, and beyond, as necessary, locating and obtaining elevations on all existing features including, but not limited to, curbs, walks, fences, visible utilities and utility mark-outs, trees with calipers of 6 inches and greater, landscaping area and shrubs. Boswell will also field survey all drainage and sanitary facilities (with invert elevations) within the project limits obtaining pipe elevations and approximate pipe sizes from above ground. This proposal does not include entering confined space for exact measurements. The plotted locations of underground sanitary and drainage pipes will also be approximate. Topographic contours will be generated from the survey data in one (1) foot intervals and spot elevations will be shown as necessary (high points, low points, etc.). Boswell will perform the necessary field surveying to locate property corners and other items which may indicate lines of possession, perform land records research, and perform an analysis comparing recorded data to field locations. The right-of way-lines and property lines will be based upon the current deed of record

f possession, perform land records research, and perform an analysis comparing recorded data to field locations.

The horizontal datum of North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) and the vertical datum of North American Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) will be established by means of GNSS/RTK surveying utilizing the SmartNet North America Network. A bench mark will be set and properly identified within the project limits in an area to be unaffected by construction, and will be tied to physical features. 2.
