QA/QC is ongoing
City BKF
City + BKF
Aerial Mapping and photogrammetry
BKF can perform aerial mapping and digital
photogrammetry for preparing topographic
base maps using unmanned aerial vehicles
(UAV) or regular airplanes (through our
subconsultant). BKF will set control for
our aerial subcontractor to fly the site and
generate a topographic survey depicting site
features at a mapping scale of 1” = 20 feet,
with 1’ contour intervals to be displayed. A
digital orthophoto in raster format (.tif) can
be included in the deliverables.
ALtA s urvey
BKF can prepare an ALTA/NSPS Land Title
Survey for a subject site based on field survey
data and a preliminary title report provided by
the client. The survey will meet the 2021 ALTA/
NSPS Minimum Standard Detail Requirements.
As-built surveys
BKF can perform as-built surveys using our
high-definition laser scanner or conventional
robotic total station to prepare as-built maps.
We can map the whole site after construction
and compare information with the design
plans to verify compliance. We can submit
additional required documents like pad
certifications, building height verifications,
setback letters, etc. We can also document
the new utilities installed and prepare as-built
files in GIS format as required by the new
California Senate Bill #865.
boundary surveys
BKF has 24 surveyors licensed in the State
of California who are well-versed in all
manner of boundary surveys, including
Rancho boundary retracement, Public Lands
surveys (including water boundaries, historic
or current), Subdivision or Parcel map
boundary resolution, and Metes and Bounds
analysis. We have filed countless Final Maps,
Parcel Maps, Records of Surveys, and Corner
Records throughout the Bay Area. We are
accustomed to working from title reports
in which a local agency may hold fee title,
and commercial or residential entities hold
long-term lease agreements. We take pride
in plumbing the depths of the most complex
boundary issues to assure that our clients,
their adjoiners, and the public at large are
properly accounted for within the framework
of standard survey practice and current law.
Construction staking
BKF can perform construction staking
layouts to support the contractors. BKF
project surveyors will determine the
accuracy and density of primary project
control points. We will provide primary
project control points for use by the
selected contractor. We provide quality
control surveys and verify contractor layouts
for conformance with design drawings.
final Map review
BKF will conduct comprehensive reviews
of parcel maps, final maps, lot line
adjustments, and legal descriptions,
confirming compliance with local
ordinances. We will identify any deficiencies,
discrepancies, or areas needing clarification,
providing recommendations for corrections
that align with surveying standards and
project conditions of approval.
In instances where BKF has prepared
the map in question, we will follow best
practices by refraining from reviewing
these materials. This step reinforces
objectivity and affirms that the review
process remains impartial. We will
collaborate with the City to engage an
external reviewer in such cases.
final Mapping
BKF may assist the City in preparing
tentative maps and other subdivision
maps. We can assist in map checking and
reviewing. BKF will provide a technical
map review that addresses all provisions
of the California Subdivision Map Act and
local ordinances applicable at the time
of approval of the tentative map. We will
confirm that these provisions have been
complied with and that the map is deemed
technically correct for processing through
departmental approval. A BKF Licensed
Land Surveyor will check the normal
jurats of the coversheet, i.e., Owners,
City Surveyor, City Engineers Statement,
Surveyors Statement, Clerk of the Board of
Supervisors, and Recorders Statements and
Title for clarity, continuity, and content on
the aerial photos. GIS property information
will also be added to the base maps.
sCope of Wor K
BKF has thoroughly reviewed the City’s RFP and the potential services under the scope.
The BKF team is well equipped to perform any of the services listed on the RFP, which includes but is not limited to the following:

7 4-48-4 Response Time Objective. BKF recognizes that a variety of different project types may be involved under this agreement. The key to providing you with an effective response to each project/task order is in our ability to quickly understand the specific project scope and organize our project team accordingly. To facilitate this, our Response Time Objectives include:
Communication is continual throughout
Survey Services
Within 4 weeks of notice to proceed
Emergency Support
Within 4 hours of a request
On-Call Scope of Work
Within 48 hours of contact
flood Certifications
BKF surveyors can prepare Elevation Certificates and
perform measurements using our precise digital levels
to determine elevations in NAVD88 datum. We can help
review sites that are in FEMA flood zones and certify that the existing ground elevations or proposed finished floor elevations are above the base flood elevations (BFE).
global positioning system ( gps) surveys
BKF can perform GPS control surveys to establish
precise horizontal and vertical control datums. Our team conducts reconnaissance of existing control points and
pre-plans static surveys to confirm accuracy. We perform field observations and post-process data to refine
results. BKF prepares detailed GPS Control Reports,
ensuring compliance with project requirements and
industry standards. Our expertise in control surveying
supports infrastructure projects for local agencies,
transportation departments, and design-build teams.
LAfCo Mapping/Descriptions
BKF can prepare the plat and legal descriptions, and
other exhibits for LAFCO mapping and annexation. The
final documents can be signed and stamped by our
licensed land surveyor.
Leveling surveys
BKF can perform level loops to tie control points to
published benchmarks using our precise digital levels
with bar-coded rods. The results of our field surveys are processed using least squares adjustment using Star*NET.
The level loops will close within the required tolerance.
Lot Line Adjustments/Lot Mergers
BKF can prepare the plat and legal descriptions for
Lot Line Adjustments (LLA), including map exhibits
that illustrate the proposed adjustments and area
calculations in square footage. Mathematical closure
calculations will be performed for the parcels. The client will provide Preliminary Title Reports, vesting deeds,
and related documents after giving the authorization to proceed. Setting boundary corners can be provided as
an additional service upon request.
pothole of existing Utilities
BKF provides utility locating, employing the latest
technology in electromagnetic induction (EMI),
magnetometers, and ground penetrating radar (GPR).
We can identify and locate existing subsurface hazards
and obstructions, aiding our engineers and surveyors in delivering a more complete product. BKF works closely
with utility companies to provide meticulous attention
to detail when locating all types of underground utilities, from electric, gas, and communication lines to water,
wastewater, and drainage piping. BKF’s commitment to
damage prevention and safety for our clients and field
crews through our utility locators is unmatched.
preparation of Legal Descriptions
BKF will conduct research on recorded maps, vesting
deeds, and other relevant recorded documents to
gather necessary information for preparing plats and
legal descriptions. Using this data, BKF will prepare the exhibits for describing easements or parcels of land.
Additionally, mathematical closure calculations will be performed to ensure that the parcel closes within the
required tolerance.
processing with County recorder’s office
BKF can assist the City in submitting and processing the maps and documents to be recorded with the County
Recorder’s office. We can coordinate with a title officer for recording other documents.
provision of title reports
BKF can coordinate with the title company to request
a preliminary title report (PTR). The fees can be
reimbursed and included on the BKF invoice.
record of survey Mapping/Corner records
Per State of California law, a resolved boundary may need to have a Record of Survey filed with the local county.
Based on the county standards for maps, BKF will create a map that will be sent to the county for their review.
Once the county reviews the map, we will receive their
comments back and make any changes or add any data
they need to approve and record the Record of Survey.

City of Alameda, On-Call Land Surveyor Services 8
research of existing Utilities information or
base Maps
BKF can request the as-built block maps from the
City or the utility/facility owners. We will perform site visits with City staff, especially its Maintenance Crew and Design Team, to identify key issues and concerns
that may not be as apparent. This is the opportunity
to not only identify key issues and concerns but also
identify and determine the scope and limits of work. To minimize construction costs, we will work closely with
City staff to identify critical items of work and satisfy the City’s vision in revitalizing its community.
right-of-Way/Appraisal Mapping
BKF can perform right-of-way surveys. We can retrace
and plot the right-of-way lines based on deeds
and record information. BKF works with CalTrans
projects, and we are familiar with their procedures
and requirements. We have prepared route surveying
for utility alignments and railway projects. We
have surveyed 100+ miles of streets for pipeline
replacement and road improvement projects in
support of our transportation engineering teams, local
government agencies, and design-build companies.
topogr aphic Design s urveys
BKF will prepare topographic base maps using our
robotic total stations and laser scanners to survey
the existing site conditions. We will include all major topographic features and man-made structures. We
will prepare an electronic drawing in CAD format,
which includes spot elevations and a 3D surface with
elevation contours. The BKF field crews will measure
cross-sections of the subject streets from right-of-
way to right-of-way location, including walks, top of
curb, lip of gutter, conforms, and street grade breaks
at intervals of approximately 25 ft. We will measure
street features such as concrete valley gutters. We will make note of low-height tree overhangs and general
drip lines, measure utility structures within the street and right-of-way areas, including City facilities such
as meters and fire hydrants. We will make note of any
major overhead utility line crossings within the street areas. If a laser scanner is utilized, the above services (excluding control) will be performed using Leica’s
Virtual Surveyor upon completion of the field scan of
the project topography.

12 D. REFERENCES, RELATED EXPERIENCE AND EXAMPLES OF WORK CITY OF OAKLAND ON-CALL SURVEYING & MAP CHECKING Oakland, CA BKF signed an agreement with the City of Oakland for On-Call Land Surveying Services. The contract amount was not-to-exceed $950,000. sUbDiVision MAp reVieWs
BKF provided technical map reviews for 5 Parcel Maps, and were required to check the normal jurats of the cover sheet (i.e., Owners, City Surveyor, City Engineers Statement, Surveyor’s Statement, Clerk of the Board of Supervisors and Recorders Statements and Title for clarity, continuity and content).
The assigned professional land surveyor was required to address complex boundary resolutions by applying knowledge in boundary control and legal principles utilizing evidence and procedures for boundary locations.
BKF also performed a laser scanning survey to prepare the base map for the City’s transportation engineers. The topographic map included contour lines, spot elevations, and a line work showing existing conditions of 3 busy intersections. Using the Leica P40 equipment, we were able to gather the information safely and more efficiently. Since the laser scanner collected millions of points in the point clout, we can extract the points of interests without needing to go back on the field, which saves the client money on the mobilization.
oAKLA n D 14 t H street s A fe ro U te in t H e C it Y The BKF team worked together to complete a traffic operational analysis to support implementation of a 4-lane roadway diet along the corridor from West Oakland to Lake Merritt in order to incorporate multi-modal facilities.
BKF assisted the City with stakeholder coordination. Existing constraints include utilities and sub-sidewalk basements which require the project team to develop unique solutions to improve the bicycle/pedestrian connectivity, meet current bicycle/accessibility standards while maintaining street drainage/functionality. BKF completed final design of the improved bicycle and pedestrian facilities by implementing a road diet, consisting of Class IV raised bike lanes in both directions with protected intersections. Additional improvements include raised bus islands, new curb ramps, 10 signal modifications, green infrastructure and decorative necklace lighting to help demarcate the corridor.
frUitVALe ALiVe/ gAp CLosUre
BKF engineers to led the design of this street scape improvement project along Fruitvale Avenue between Alameda Avenue and East 12th Street to calm traffic, address existing bicycle and pedestrian deficiencies, and to provide a continuous connection between Fruitvale BART Station and the City of Alameda.
The project consisted of designing pedestrian and bicycle improvements including widening sidewalks for adding one-way cycle track in each direction of travel, improved pedestrian ADA facilities, curb ramp replacements, utility relocation, drainage modifications, lighting upgrades, traffic signal modifications, stormwater treatment (green streets), addition of street trees, and pavement reconstruction. Additionally, BKF worked with the City, UPRR, and CPUC to modify four at-grade rail crossings.

ALAMEDA COUNTY WATER DISTRICT SURVEY ON-CALL Oakland, CA The objective of this project was to perform ground survey monitoring for five District water storage facilities. BKF’s survey monitoring data will be included in the District’s annual monitoring reports to DSOD. In support of other capital projects, the District routinely requires preparation of topographic survey maps which may include right-of-way delineation, utility locations and other pertinent information.
ACWD groUnD sUrVeY Monitoring of Distri Ct fA C i L ities BKF prepared spreadsheets for the monitoring surveys to help ACWD with comparing measurements from previous years. BKF updated the erosion study on one of the reservoir sites using a high definition laser scanning equipment.
This enabled the engineers to determine if the erosion scars observed were caused by a landslide or a slow soil erosion, or a structural damage. The point cloud prepared by BKF enabled the multi-temporal data to analyze change detection using cyclone software.
