Show all pagesProject Approach continued PHASE 1: TOPOGRAPHIC & UTILITY SURVEY PS&S will perform a partial topographic survey of the project area and 25’ beyond using a combination of conventional on ground survey methods and Aerial mapping technology utilizing a Mavic 3 / Matrice 300 RTK drone, VRS and Static GPS (Global Positioning System). We will locate and provide elevations of all fixed property features. Such as but not limited to, existing buildings, concrete foundations, equipment, fence lines, utilities, protruding natural anomalies, and any other features or structures deemed to be permanent to the site. The ground control network will be based on New Jersey State Plane Coordinate System established in 1983 (NAD83) and North America Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). The plan sheets will be created in AutoCAD format’, 1 foot contour interval. PS&S survey crews will also perform a survey of utilities within the project area and adjoining parking lot. We will make reasonable investigations concerning the location and size of underground utility lines on site. Where surface indications of the presence of such utilities are apparent, such features will be located on the plans. However, PS&S cannot be responsible to detect or locate buried utilities for which no surface indications are present, nor shall PS&S be responsible for the accuracy of information taken from records and drawings provided by others or locations marked out by utility companies. PHASE 2: PRELIMINARY DESIGN The Preliminary Design Phase will establish the overall design direction for the O’Connor Memorial Park improvements and provide the Township and community with a clear visual understanding of the proposed enhancements. This phase is critical for gathering input and confirming that the project goals align with both the Township’s objectives and community expectations before advancing into detailed design. PS&S will coordinate closely with the Department of Engineering Division and Township officials to develop and refine design alternatives that address functionality, aesthetics, accessibility, and long-term maintenance.
