1 INTRODUCTION
Over the past 48 years, Johnson-Frank & Associates, Inc. has provided local municipalities with countless services including construction staking, monument preservation, vertical and horizontal control, subdivision mapping and Records of Survey, legal descriptions, ground based and aerial (photogrammetric as well as LiDAR based) topographic mapping, as -built surveys , and deformation/subsidence surveys. As such, we have a great understanding of what it means to be working for a City, and in many cases, working as the City. The simple truth is that many firms do not grasp the magnitude of difference there truly is between simply working for a City , and working AS the City. The lat ter carries a much greater level of responsibility, both to the client, the City of Anaheim, as well as to the citizens of Anaheim and the general public. Over the past forty eight years of serving primarily public agency clients, we at Johnson -Frank have gained a great deal of respect th roughout the industry for holding ourselves to that higher standard. The following information, provided in the order requested, details our level of experience and qualifications, and we look forward to continuing to serve the City of Anaheim's needs.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
This proposal covers, and our firm is applying for, all survey and photogrammetry sub-tasks as outlined in the RFP, including:
PROFESSIONAL LAND SURVEYING SERVICES:
1. Construction Staking
2. Monument Preservation
3. Vertical and Horizontal Control
4. Official Maps and Records
5. Legal Descriptions
6. Topographic Mapping
7. As-Built Surveys
PHOTOGRAMMETRY SERVICES:
1. Topographic
2. Aerial Photography
3. LiDAR
As requested in the RFP, the following pages contain a review o f our proposed Scope of Services.

2 General Land Surveying Services Scope:
Prior to submitting a cost estimate, we always thoroughly review the survey request with the City Surveyor, or City Staff requesting the survey, as well as the site at hand, bot h from on-site visits as well as through aerial and satellite imagery readily available through Google Earth.
We will adhere to the City's standard CAD and file templates. This is an issue with which we are very familiar. Working with local municipalities, Counties, and US Government agencies, we are familiar with translating into, or working in, anyone's CAD and file format standards seamlessly.
Topographic Surveys:
All of our topographic work products will be produced, and will be delivered, in AutoC AD Civil3D, unless alternate formats are requested . In addition, we will submit ASCII coordinate files along with said DWG and PDF files.
We will perform additional surveying work as it becomes necessary , and in conjunction with the approval (if necessary) of the City Surveyor.
As-Built Surveys:
As-Built surveys will be performed as, and where, requested. Deliverable files will include ASCII and AutoCAD Civil 3D files in City formats, as well as any field sketches necessary to facilitate the depiction of the area or feature being detailed.
Construction Layout:
Thorough review of the construction plans is a crucial step that is often overlooked. We have found that catching errors in the plans prior to having field crews on site is infinitely more cost effective. It allows our project surveyors and our field crews to get acquainted with the plans ahead of time, rather than viewing the plans for the first time the morning that the stakes are needed by the contractor.
We also believe in doing all possible calculations in the office rather than in the field. We have found that office labor is much more economical than field labor. In addition, the office personnel, with computers and CAD programs, are much more sufficiently equipped to perform mass calculations than the field personnel.
We will follow the City's Construction Services, Survey Section staking policy as well as conforming to industry standards.

3 Detailed and accurate records of Requests for Construction Staking will be maintained on the City's approved form.
Grade sheets will be provided on the approved form to the Contractor, Inspector, and the City Surveyor.
Weekly reports will be provided to the City Surveyor for all construction work activities.
We will perform additional surveying w ork as it becomes necessary and in conjunction with the approval (if necessary) of the City Surveyor.
Benchmark Set/Relocate
We will establish new benchmarks as directed by the City Surveyor.
We will meet or exceed the City's accuracy standards. Our firm has extensive Geodetic Leveling experience, including subsidence monitoring throughout the Wilmington/Long Beach area that we have performed annually for the last 35+ years, simultaneous leveling and GPS performed for the National Geodetic Survey as par t of the National Height Modernization Study, as well as Geodetic Leveling performed throughout the State for the California Spatial Reference Center.
As a matter of standard procedure at JFA, all leveling data is processed through Star*Lev. All electronic data, closures, and adjustments will be submitted to the City Surveyor. New benchmarks will be stamped as directed by the City Surveyor.
Temporary benchmarks will be established where necessary as directed by the City Surveyor.
Monument Preservation:
Provide copies of recorded pre-construction corner records as required in compliance with the State of California's Land Surveyors' Act Section 8771.
Set new monuments as required in compliance with the State of California's Land Surveyors' Act Section 8771
Provide copies of recorded post-construction corner records as required in compliance with the State of California's Land Surveyors' Act Section 8771.
As the City Surveyor and/or On- call Survey Consultant for several local Cities, Johnson- Frank has extensive experience providing Monument Preservation services throughout Orange and Los Angeles Counties.

4 We will adhere to City standards and formats so that our Corner Records conform to any said standards that may exist.
Horizontal and Vertical Control:
Provide permanent control points for topographic or construction surveys.
Establish coordinates for control points using California Coordinate System 1983, Zone VI, 2007 Epoch, or other as requested by the City Surveyor.
Establish elevations for control points using the City of Anaheim Bench Mark network and the North American Vertical Datum of 1988, or other as requested by the City Surveyor.
Provide copies of field notes, and/or computer files showing raw results and any adjustments ("Star-Net" files).
Provide computer files compatible with AutoCAD Civil3D, or Trimble Business Center, showing final adjusted coordinates (P,N,E,Z,D) for each control point.
Real Time Kinematic (RTK) methods of GPS surveying will NOT be accepted for the establishment of horizontal or vertical control points.
We will adhere to the City of Anaheim's control system and provide control deliverables in digital format.
Control work is another area within which we believe we have a superior level of experience and knowledge. We have performed geodetic control for numerous public agencies, including the City of Irvine, the Port of Long Beach, the Los Angeles District Corps of Engineers, the Southwest Division, US Naval Facilities Engineering Command, the US Forest Service, the California Spatial Reference Center, and directly for the National Geodetic Survey. We have performed everything from traditional horizontal control prior to the advent of GPS, to high precision horizontal GPS, and even assisted the National Geodetic Survey in developing standards for performing high precision Vertical GPS surveys.

Johnson-Frank & Associates, Inc. has been a surveying and mapping firm since its inception in December 1975, and remains so today, with one hundred percent of our business being surveying and mapping. As a result of our emphasis on surveying and mapping, we are better equipped and better trained than most firms offering these services. With our top of the line equipment, trained personnel and principals and key employees having many years of both field and office surveying experience, our firm is ideally suited to provide services on a wide variety of projects. We are equipped for any type of survey in all types of terrain including Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) surveys with our Trim ble GNSS Receivers and Terrestrial Laser Scanning with our Trimble SX10 3d laser scanner. In addition to our regular survey crews, we have the equipment and base personnel (management and party chiefs) to field up to three additional survey crews on very short notice.
The size of our firm enables us to handle City projects in a quick and efficient manner. We are capable of fielding survey crews to the site within one day's notice. In addition, our association with the International Union of Operating Engineers affords us the ability to augment our core workforce with additional field personnel when, and if, necessary. This association with the Union also alleviates any Prevailing Wage issues that may arise, as our employees are always compensated appropriately.
Is Bigger always Better? - There is a lot of hype in the marketing of Engineering and Surveying services about capacity, and about how a larger firm is more capable to serve public agencies simply because they have more people. But the truth is, bigger is not necessarily better. These large engineering firms claim enormous capacity, but are generally bulky, and less flexible than smaller businesses. They can show large numbers of people in varied disciplines, and they have a highly paid marketing staff to “sell” that large staff and overhead as a “positive” to agencies and other clients. But the truth is, they cannot turn on a dime. They can show vast resources as available, but the simple fact is, they do not have resources “on the shelf” which are not already obligated to their other clients. That is a simple fact of business. If they did, they would be out of business very soon.
On the other hand, our firm is not going to pretend we have a large number of people sitting around doing nothing waiting for your job. Our staffing level allows us to be agile, and with our depth of knowledge and experience in the specific field for which this RFQ is addressed, we are able to shift priorities, reschedule tasks, and authorize overtime out of our budget, not yours, when necessary to meet any foreseeable needs. The City of Anaheim will be a priority client to us, not just one of the hundreds necessary to sustain a large firm. We do what it takes to satisfy our clients’ needs, and we have a proven history of doing just this. A large firm, with its regionally based leadership and huge overhead is not necessary, or even logical, to service the surveying needs of the City of Anaheim.
The dedicated and flexible team of professionals that is Johnson-Frank & Associates, can and will service those needs efficiently, cost effectively, and give the City the priority service they deserve.

In 2005, , in 2013, and again in 201 7, Johnson-Frank has been awarded contracts for on -call surveying and mapping services by the City of Anaheim. Johnson-Frank and Associates acted as an extension of the City Surveyor’s Office and h as always been able to respond to staff needs in a timely and professional manner. The following are a few examples of services provided to the City.
Subdivision and Parcel Consolidation of Anaheim Stadium Properties: As part of our contract we worked cl osely with city staff at all levels of management to subdivide and consolidate the properties comprising the Anaheim Stadium complex. This major project involved numerous agencies and municipalities. It required the review of more than 25,000 pages of va rious legal records to determine their affect, if any, on the project and client goals. Through due diligence, several potential liabilities were able to be addressed before they could cause harm to title of the property. After resolving all title issues, conducting boundary and topographic surveys, encroachment analysis, and writing new legal descriptions, a parcel map was filed and recorded. This project was completed in 2008 at a cost of just over $160,000.
Santa Ana Canyon Road Rehabilitation and Realignment: This project took us through nearly 100 years of legal records and engineering notes in order to re - establish the historic dual alignments. Dozens of monuments and ties were found, reset, and re- established in an effort to perpetuate survey ev idence and comply with state laws. Our noninvasive approach was appreciated by commuters and City staff alike. This project was completed in February 2010, at a total cost of $36,000.
Yorba Regional Neighborhood Monument Preservation : This project was completed in April 2015 and involved monument preservation for the most westerly section of the Yorba Regional Neighborhood repaving project , a total of 19 pre and post construction Corner Records were generated and filed with the County Surveyor’s Office. Total project cost was just over $25,000.
C-17 West Area Monument Preservation: This project was completed in March 2017 and involved monument preservation throughout the C -17 West repaving area, a total of 59 pre and post construction Corner Records were generated and filed with the County Surveyor’s Office. Total project cost was just under $77,000.
Orange Ave nue Topo: This project was completed in July 2016 and consisted of monument preservation for 10 intersections together with ground topographi c surveying of approximately 3,100 feet along Orange Avenue from Hillview Road to Magnolia Street. Total project cost was just under $22,000.

descriptions and exhibits, indexing of centerline ties, boundary surveys, cente rline alignment surveys, construc tion surveys, control surveys, and deformation/subsidence surveys.
In 1980, Johnson- Frank
& Associates, Inc.
designed and
implemented a city wide
geodetic control
network for the City.
This network included 227 stations and was completed
prior to the ad vent of GPS equipment. The survey was
performed with Wild T -2 Theodolites and Electronic
Distance Measuring equipment. We have subsequently
tied this network to the California High Precision Geodetic Network (HP GN) and ha s been readjusted to the North
American Datum of 1983 (NAD83) (1991.35 Epoch).
In 1988, Johnson- Frank & Associates, began providing subsidence monitoring services for the City at the Turtle Rock housing development. This project consisted of $245,000 of monitoring surveys over 7 years. Federal Geodetic Control Subcommittee (FGCS) First order, Class II leveling procedures and high precision Sinco Tilt Meters were used to monitor the subsidence.
Johnson-Frank & Associates, Inc. has provided cons truction surveying services on public works projects in the City including several bridges and numerous streets. These include Alton, including the Highway 73 overpass, Barranca, including th e Interstate 5 overpass, Harvard, Irvine, Irvine Center, Jambore e, Main, i ncluding the Interstate 405 overpass, Portola, Sand Canyon, and Technology as well as many others throughout the City.

Johnson-Frank has held numerous on-call contracts with the Port of Long Beach over the years, dating back as early as 1990, at which time we were contracted to establish a Port wide geodetic control network. From 1990 to 2023 we have complet ed numerous projects with the Port ranging from topographic surveys of rail lines to t he construction staking of Middle Harbor. Specifics of a few of these tasks are as follows:
Underground Utility Marking (DigAlert) : During the course of most recent t hree contracts, our crews have provided USA DigAlert marking throughout the Port. These efforts are in suppo rt of ongoing construction projects within the Port. Our crews have been full y trained by Port staff in order to provide this service to Port custo mers in the same fashion as if the Port Survey Department were providing these services directly.
Staff Augmentation: Also during the course of the most recent three contracts, we have begun providing staff augmentation services in addition to project or task specific services. When providing Staff Augmentation services, our field personnel report directly to, and work with, Port staff as a member of a Port Survey Crew, or as a complete Port Survey Crew. In such fashion, our crews have worked on various construction staking, topographic, and miscellaneous surveying projects throughout the Port.
Middle Harbor S upport: Our crews provided over $353,000 in survey support services to the Middle Harbor Program. Tasks included all aspects of construction st aking through the Middle Harbor area, as well as numerous quality assurance and as-built surveys, including as-builts
of utilities, automatic
stacking crane foundations,
and various stru ctures
throughout the site. Our crews worked as an extension of POLB staff, checking in each morning, and back out at the end of each day, working directly with, and f or, the Port Surveyor in charge of the project.
Vertical Movement Study ( Leveling): This project, over th e years, has involved performing the 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 precise leveling throughout the Port of Long Beach, as part of their annual subsidence monitor ing. JFA Crews are g enerally on-site between of 13 and 15 days, covering approximately 22 miles of leveling routes, double run. The network included 111 benchmarks, originating form Tidal 8, and running throughout the Port of Long Beach. Total expenditu res on this annual project generally run between $50,000 and $65,000.

QUALITY ASSURANCE / QUALITY CONTROL
Regardless of the final deliverables, we realize that the work product produced by JFA and our team will serve as part of the means to a larger end. Topographic maps, subdivision maps, legal descriptions, high -precision control networks, 3- D laser scans – they all have one thing in common: all will serve as the foundation for future work. As such, it is critical that our team produce a product that is of the highest possible quality. At JFA, it is our belief that the process of controlling and assuring that our product has been produced to the highest professional standards begins long before the actual production of that product. Therefore, our approach to Quality Assurance and Quality Control is based on the following precepts:
Training & Tools
Cutting edge hardware a nd software are key elements of what we do and how we do it, but the latest and greatest equipment is useless in the hands of an undertrained individual. Technology has enabled many of the 'day- to-day' tasks we perform to be completed quicker, but this efficiency is merely a function of time and accuracy – if 'it' is not done right, it does not matter how quickly 'it' gets done. Our professional and technical personnel are given the training necessary to ensure not only that they are using available technol ogies to their fullest extent, but also that they understand the fundamental concepts behind the processes and procedures that are being performed by the tools they use. As a result of this training, common errors are eliminated, to the greatest extent possible, as part of the 'day-to-day' process.
Communication & Accountability
In conjunction with the technical aspects of the QA/QC process, there are also the conceptual aspects, namely the issues of client expectations, project specifications, and docume ntation of our performance. Just as state of the art equipment is of little or no use to the undertrained technician, the most accurate end result is of no use if it does not meet with the expectations or technical specifications of the client. To ensure t hat we are 'in -step' with the client at every juncture, we believe the following principles and procedures are essential:
• Extensive client contact in the planning stages of any project is necessary to ensure that any and all goals, schedules, and technical aspects of the project are well understood by our staff • The project manager is available at all times to the client, to JFA staff, and to sub- consultants/subcontractors staff on any matters relating to the project • The project manager interacts with all project supervisory staff on a daily basis to ensure that problems are identified as early in a process as possible, and that the necessary actions are taken to address and correct the issues at hand
• The project manager holds regularly scheduled in- house st aff meetings with all JFA personnel and via teleconference with participating sub- consultants/subcontractors involved in the project
• A project manager's report is issued and reviewed weekly. Th is report details all services provided and charges accrued aga inst the project, current through the preceding day. The report is analyzed by the project manager to assess the status of the project in terms of progress, scheduling and expenditures

Practice and Procedure
Regardless of the project, our procedures are designed to ensure quality control from beginning to end. Our goal with each project is to design, or utilize, a procedure with a built-in verification process, or an element of redundancy. Our procedures are designed to ensure that all deliverable products meet client specifications, and adhere to established industry standards, and when feasible, exceed those standards. Project specific quality control documentation is developed for each project that modifies our QA/QC process to reflect the special requirements of each client.
• Field measurement data remains digital from field to finish to eliminate the possibility of human error
• All field survey notes and electronic data collected information are reviewed for accuracy, clarity and continuity
• Prior to their submittal, all maps, plans and other deliverables are reviewed thoroughly by the project manager and other project Team members who have extensive knowledge related to the particular project or service being provided
• All services provided by sub-consultants/subcontractors are reviewed and edited by Johnson- Frank & Associates, Inc. project staff to the same extent as our in -house services are reviewed and edited by in-house project staff
All maps are field and office edited prior to final submittal to assure all features and other data were collected and depicted accurately.
