BRASADA ESTATES PROJECT—AERIAL DRONE SERVICES
SAN DIMAS, CA
CASC performed aerial survey services over an high-end residential project located in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in San Dimas.
The rapidly changing landform during construction necessitated frequent changes in temporary erosion and sediment control BMPs. The Project Team decided to incorporate small Unmanned Aerial System (sUAS) technology, also known as drones, to monitor inaccessible areas and proactively eliminate potential sediment runoff before a problem developed. On a monthly basis, qualitative data was collected utilizing sUAS to gain a new perspective on the site. A fly over video and static aerial imagery maps were delivered to the Project Team, who would then review the footage and annotate areas of concern for construction crews. From this aerial vantage point, visual observations of the entire site’s condition were more accurately monitored, allowing for early identification of potential sources of pollutants.
The outstanding elements of this project are not limited to the significant challenges the Project Team was able to overcome, but also includes the process by which the challenges were addressed. The Project Team’s high level of communication and use of drone technology led to a successful process of BMP implementation to design, install, evaluate, and redesign the temporary BMPs. As a result of these efforts, the Project Team was successful in managing sources of erosion and sediment as the landform quickly evolved. The proactive, extraordinary level of commitment and team work of the key Project Team members (owner, construction manager, engineer, etc.) is rarely seen in the industry.
WESTERN MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT, DRONE SURVEY FOR SOLAR PROJECT EROSION
ANALYSIS RIVERSIDE, CA
Casc was retained by Western Municipal Water District (WMWD) to analyze and develop a solution to post-construction erosion problems that occurred
their 5.64-acre solar array project. The solar array
project area is approximately 5.64 acres within an
approximately 25-acre watershed that is tributary
to the discharge point where erosion was occurring.
Due to the absence of current topographical data,
Casc utilized Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology to produce high quality images and video of the erosion on the sleep slopes inaccessible from
the ground. The UAV data was used to map the
drainage area associated with the solar array project and produce a topographical map of the area.
Using the georeferenced aerial images and photogrammetric software, Casc produced drainage area maps that aided in the design project improvements. Casc prepared the drainage maps comparing the conditions prior to the construction with the conditions after the solar project was built. Casc concluded that site stabilization needed to take place through regrading and repositioning existing BMPs.
CASC utilized UAV technology to produce a topographic map used to map drainage patterns and design solutions.

The detailed tasks provide a basis for esƟmaƟng our services, scheduling, maintaining control and providing a detail scope of services to be included with the contract. Upon award of the project, an iniƟal pre-design or pre-construcƟon meeƟng is held between the City of Hemet, our Project Manager, design team, and the survey crews to confirm the scope of services and project schedule and to idenƟfy any special requests. AŌer the City’s pre-design or pre-construcƟon meeƟng, we again hold our own in-house "Project Kick-Off" meeƟng between the project manager design team and the surveying staff to idenƟfy rouƟne and unique tasks during the project. We also review the man-hour budget and schedule to set goals to meet specific milestones.
The Project Manager will review the project and budget during our in-house daily project meeƟngs and make submiƩal to the City of Hemet at the 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100% compleƟon points.

PW20-02 Fifth Street Improvements: ERSC provided survey and engineering services for preparation of street improvement plans for the north of side of Fifth Street from Front Street to the Murrieta Creek. This project is subject to the elements of the Old Town Specific plan and the design criteria therein. The specific plan requires on-street parking, a 12-foot pedestrian mall, and a round-a-bout. ERSC collected record data, performed survey data collection in the field with 25-foot street cross sections, drafted a conceptual design for approval, and prepared plan specifications and estimates for the project.
PW16-06 Overland ROW Analysis: ERSC provided survey and engineering analysis of existing and proposed rights-of-way on Overland Drive between Commerce Center Drive and Jefferson Avenue. The General Plan designation for this segment of roadway is Secondary Arterial which requires 88 feet of right-of-way to support 68 feet of curb to curb improvements. Research showed the existing right-of-way for Overland Drive between Commerce Center Drive and Jefferson Avenue is 66 feet wide which supports roadway improvements of 44 feet wide. ERSC analyzed the impacts associated with the acquisition of additional right-of-way on both sides of Overland Drive. To complete this analysis, mapping was required that depicts the existing roadway improvements, private surface and landscape improvements, visible utility pedestals and vaults and building footprint.

Aliso Viejo City Limits Survey Documents: ERSC completed work requested by the City to ensure the City Limits were accurately depicted in a submittal to LAFCO. ERSC would review the current boundaries, prepare horizontal calculations based on the legal description, and prepare Autocad and Shapefile for use in City’s GIS System.
ERSC provided design survey, engineering, staking, and construction services for the Zone 4 – 30” Transmission Mainline Improvements on Highland Avenue from Pepper Avenue to Oakdale Avenue, which was also designed by ERSC.
The project involved the construction of a new waterline and associated appurtenances in Highland Avenue between Oakdale Avenue and Pepper Avenue in the City of Rialto.
Construction included installation of approximately 3,700 lf of CML&C waterline. The proximity to Interstate 210 required interfacing with CalTrans and coordination with the agency’s procedures.
Upon the first day of utility potholing, recently installed utility lines were discovered in the field that were not included on the construction set for the pipeline installation.
During potholing, ERSC’s inspector gathered necessary dimensions and elevations for the utility line and encasement for relay to ERSC’s design team. Within 24hours, new a new construction set was provided to account for the utility line to avoid delay in construction.
During the course of construction, it was discovered that undocumented clay fill material was installed during the reconstruction of Highland Avenue. This clay fill material slowed construction significantly. With the slowed production, it was suggested that construction continue with CalTrans Force Account Rates to allow for the now obsolete schedule.
ERSC’s inspector verified and documented all information on a daily basis for adequate cost accounting and invoice auditing to coincide with the force account methods.

<Section Title> SECTION III - Project Understanding & Approach Understanding
ERSC understands that the City requires detailed, competent, and safe professional survey services related to work performed upon City projects and in support of projects occurring within the City.
ERSC provides surveying, mapping, and GIS services across a wide range of disciplines for clients throughout Southern California.
Our staff and procedures were developed with cutting-edge technology both in the field and in the office, as well as highly skilled individuals with the expertise to accurately interpret and compile data.
Supporting our field crews is a comprehensive team that includes professional land surveyors, survey analysts, mapping specialists, researchers, and quality control and assurance managers. ERSC leverages this team-based approach to ensure that every aspect of our surveys is executed by industry-leading professionals.
ERSC survey personnel have provided complete project services—from initial design topography to final construction staking and monumentation—on numerous municipal infrastructure projects throughout Southern California. All survey crews operate under the direct supervision of a Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) registered in the State of California. Each crew is equipped with the latest surveying technology, including Spectra Robotic Total Stations, GNSS receivers, and Wi-Fi-enabled field computers. The Ranger 7 data collectors are wirelessly connected to our office, ensuring accurate and timely data transfers, enabling fast turnarounds for projects with tight schedules.
Specific to Hemet
ERSC has significant experience in the City of Hemet. The City was home to our first office and was one of ERSC’s first clients. Our firm holds significant records from the City and many of our employees call the City and Valley home. In our experience in providing services to the area, we have noted the following that can enhance ERSC’s level of service compared to others:
Custodian of Hemet Historical Records
ERSC maintains an extensive survey records library with local copies of Riverside County Survey records. Within this collection ERSC has physical records of the Original Layout of the following local historic townsites communities in the Vicinity:
• Town of Florida
• The Hemet Land Company
• The Estudillo Tract
• The Fairview Tract
• Rancho Viejo Tract
• RCFCD
• EMWD
• San Jacinto Land Company
Local Survey Resources
The Riverside County Surveyors Office provides document research tools that are valuable for recording research. These tools can vastly increase the speed at which we can find records, and we pass the cost savings to the City. Corner Records, Subdivision Maps, Ties, Benchmarks, Centerlines, Maps, Records of Survey, Road Easements, Horizontal Control, and other information can be readily applied to projects. This information is valuable during both survey and plan review assignments and will be utilized during both.
Local Staff
ERSC’s staff have extensive experience working within the City of Hemet. Our Project Manager and Party Chief both have lived in Hemet, worked out of ERSC’s Hemet Office, and surveyed many projects in the City and nearby. Knowledge of local control, procedures, mapping efforts, and other specifics can allow our team to be exceptionally efficient.
Approach to Services
Field Survey Services
ERSC has compiled and summarized general survey-related tasks that may arise during the course of an agreement. While these tasks are included as a part of many projects, they are intended to be general in nature. Each project has its own unique features that will dictate a specific scope. ERSC has assembled a summary of tasks in the RFP and those that may be requested by the City that are similar in nature.
Control Surveys
ERSC’s team will research available record information pertaining to the projects (i.e., Record Maps, field books, control data sheets, corner records, tie sheets, etc.). Control information from these maps will be used for the basis of the survey.
The ERSC team will perform a control survey for each project and utilize existing record maps to field-verify and establish centerline control along the existing streets encompassing the proposed projects. The vertical datum will be based on a benchmark nearest the site. The horizontal datum will be provided in the City’s preferred format but is recommended to be based on California State Plane coordinates NAD83 to allow for utilization in the City’s Geographic Information System (GIS). The survey will also tie in centerline monuments of record recovered during the field survey.
Adjusting and Establishing Benchmarks and Monuments
Vertical control points, such as temporary and permanent benchmarks, will be established by running closed and adjusted differential level loops tied to published benchmarks. Depending on the precision required, leveling surveys will follow procedures for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd order accuracy classifications per Federal Geodetic Control Subcommittee Standards and Specifications. 16
15.B
<Section Title> SECTION III - Project Understanding & Approach Horizontal control, including monuments, will be located and established using conventional and GPS surveying methods. Raw survey data will be adjusted using least squares adjustment software to derive final coordinates.
Boundary Surveying
In these tasks, ERSC will establish locations of property boundaries, easements, and right-of-ways in conformance with state and federal boundary control laws and procedures.
Research is the first step conducted in this process. All record maps and records from other agencies are collected and reviewed. A Preliminary Title Report and all backup documents are obtained and thoroughly reviewed.
A digital search map is prepared to facilitate an efficient search in the field for existing monumentation. Using a combination of GPS and conventional methods, monumentation is searched for and located. Control points are established near property corners where monuments are not found to enable the subsequent setting of new monuments.
If required, ERSC will file records of surveys and corner records with the County Recorder and County Surveyor, respectively.
Topographic Surveying
ERSC routinely provides topographic base mapping directly to numerous local cities and agencies. Specific methods and scope are tailored on a project-by-project basis to balance cost constraints with project requirements and schedules.
Prior to sending crews into the field, our office staff performs research to obtain record maps and documents covering the work area.
Search maps are prepared to enable the field crews to efficiently search for any agency control points (Benchmarks, GPS points), centerline monuments, ties, and significant boundary corners.
Fieldwork begins by using total stations, GPS, and digital levels to establish a control network throughout the work area. This includes horizontally tying into found centerline monuments and major boundary corners. The elevations of control points are determined by running level loops, with high accuracy digital levels, between agency benchmarks. We then use this control network as the basis of the topographic survey and/or cross-sections.
All fieldwork is reviewed daily to ensure there are no problems with the digital data and nothing has been missed. The field data then undergoes a rigorous least squares adjustment. Our procedures and description codes enable us to create design documents that require minimal clean-up by our survey technicians to produce a clear and thorough set of drawings.
Aerial Topographic Surveying
Topographic surveys are normally conducted by our survey crews utilizing conventional surveying methods. However, ERSC also has access to other methods, such as aerial photogrammetry using manned aircraft or drones, which may be more cost-effective depending on the project size.
For larger projects, aerial mapping is often the most cost-effective method to collect topographic data. The vertical and horizontal values of aerial targets, set by ERSC, are determined with GPS and digital levels and based on County or City benchmarks. This becomes the backbone of the overall control network for each project. The control network is densified as required to support subsequent detailed ground surveys as needed.
Construction Staking
ERSC has a long history and extensive experience working on a variety of capital improvement projects for numerous cities and agencies throughout southern California. We can provide construction surveying for road improvements, wet utilities, dry utilities, grading, and building layout. Our Licensed Land Surveyor reviews the construction plans and oversees all staking tasks for quality control.
We pre-calculate staking items based on the approved schedule of work submitted by the contractor. This work involves verifying distances and grades and QA/QC of the plans to quickly identify problems or concerns associated with construction/design plans prior to staking. We then submit requests for information/clarification as needed in order to prevent work delays. ERSC will typically respond to written staking requests within one business day.
As-built Construction Surveys
ERSC can provide as-built surveys for any type of improvement. The data can be provided digitally and added to CAD improvement plans or added to PDF files (Bluebeam). Datums will be based on control used during construction.
Survey Safety
ERSC maintains an Employee Safety Policy established to provide a safe work environment on- and off-site for all employees. As a rule, the Principal Surveyor is responsible for the on-site safety of the field surveyors and ensures that the traveling public is protected.
Employees are trained in all aspects of personal safety associated with working in traffic areas and are taught how to identify hazardous materials. ERSC has extensive experience with highway safety and traffic control procedures. ERSC conducts surveys in full compliance with CalTrans Traffic Control Manual. Additional training will be provided when necessary, and appropriate safety equipment and signs will be made available to secure the work area.
Technology
ERSC has always kept up with the latest technology in the disciplines of civil engineering and land surveying. We use a variety of computer hardware systems, software programs, and survey equipment consisting of the following:

Prepare Survey Related Documents
Completing hundreds of legal descriptions and plats for easement and right-of-way acquisition and dedication for dozens of Cities and agencies in Southern California has provided us the experience and confidence to offer these services to the City of Hemet.
Legals and Plats
ERSC has worked with local agencies to document property mergers, easements, improvements, and historic properties. As such, our team is experienced in the discipline. Many of these types of documents require a legal description. Each legal description starts with a review of a current title report to ascertain vesting documents, ownerships, and third-party interests. All legal descriptions prepared by ERSC include a plat clearly depicting the described parcel(s) for ready interpretation by laypeople. The City’s current standards for legal descriptions, maps, and plats will be applied to each.
Plats will provide a graphic representation of the subject areas with data such as reference to underlying record data, general site planimetric, geometry, line and curve data (tabular if necessary), easements of record, easement area, and north arrow and scale.
Complete computations and analysis necessary to develop metes and bounds descriptions for each subject area will be included.
Records of Survey
As with many surveys, a Record of Survey is required per California Business and Professions Code Section 8762 when any property survey is recorded within a County. Typically, a record of survey is performed when a survey establishes points or lines not shown on any recorded subdivision map, official map, or record of survey. Records of survey are typically accompanied by record maps, vesting deeds, closures, any calculations, and a map of the survey. Any Record of Survey performed by ERSC will be performed to County requirements and recorded in the records of Riverside County.
Corner Records (Monument Preservation)
Corner records are typically filed when a survey retraces a previously recorded survey. Corner records will be prepared to County guidelines with all required information for submittal. The document will include corner type identification, PLSS reference, City/ County, physical condition of the monuments found or set, ties to the monuments, and a plat map for filing with the County Surveyor.
Our office staff are well-versed in preparing pre-construction and post-construction Corner Records for both public and private projects. We ensure that all monument preservation and perpetuation work complies with Section 8771 of the California Business and Professions Code.
ALTA Surveys
ALTA Surveys are a specific type of survey governed by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS). ERSC has the expertise to meet the stringent survey measurement and mapping standards required for ALTA surveys. When performing ALTA surveys, ERSC will perform the survey in conformance with the current February 23, 2021, Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/NPS Land Title Surveys. ERSC can also provide additional items as listed in Table A of the Minimum Standard Detail Requirements (if needed).

H&A’s legal counsel has reviewed the Model Professional Services Agreement and identified a few wording changes that are needed to protect the City by meeting conditions for professional liability insurance, so the City is covered in case of an incident and to be in full compliance with the California Civil Code. From our past experiences, a brief telephone call between the City Attorney and H&A’s lawyer conversing with legal terminology can usually resolve the issues amicably.

Hunsaker’s headquarters is located in Irvine and has approximately 130 office employees. There is a branch office in the City of Riverside (approximately 20 office employees), and a field staff of approximately 50 employees. The firm was started in 1976 and remains a closely held corporation with five principals (Doug Staley, Kamal Karam, Fred Graylee, Joe Wightman and Bradley Hay). All H&A principals are Southern California residents and active project managers, each having over 30 years of experience in their discipline. For Hemet, H&A will provide services mainly from the Riverside office located less than a 40-mile drive to Hemet City Hall.
H&A provides professional services to both public and private sector clients. The following describes our major areas of work:
Engineering Services: Since 1976, H&A has worked with both public and private sector clients to design local streets and arterial roadways, drainage systems, WQMPs and treatment facilities, flood control channels, water and wastewater systems, and other backbone infrastructure for numerous projects throughout Southern California. We provide concise, cost effective, and accurate designs.
Land Surveying and Mapping Services: Our survey group provides a comprehensive range of state-of-the-art surveying for our clients, combining traditional surveying techniques with advanced surveying technology. In the office, H&A is staffed with licensed surveyors who have extensive experience with preparation and interpretation of legal descriptions and mapping procedures. Our 21 field crews are fully equipped with sophisticated survey instruments, and each is led by a certified party chief.
Planning Services: H&A staff can create specific plans; civil support; urban design; master plans; re-use and redevelopment planning; site/land use planning; community planning; general plans; land subdivision tentative mapping, entitlement-to-use processing; regulatory permits; and public information program.
Hunsaker is presently involved in numerous projects and the larger ones typically have some portions completed, some in construction and some parts in design. Examples include the Great Park Neighborhoods (residential developments on USC El Toro) and Rancho Mission Viejo (areas near Ortega Highway). H&A is often considered a “land development” firm and it is assumed we have little experience with public agency projects. However, each of our numerous infrastructure design and related surveying were done to meet public agency criteria (City or County), the results were reviewed and approved by agency staff prior to construction and many components (streets, drains, etc.) are now owned and operated by public agencies. The only difference between an agency sponsored project and a developer project is who pays the
15.B

bills. The surveying, design, drawings, specifications and construction are the same. Your agency will benefit from H&A’s vast knowledge gained from decades of experience.
