Item 7.4
Mountain House Page 624 of 1946 TITLE: Approval of Pre-Qualified Survey Consultant Shortlist and Authorization of Master Consultant Agreements for On-Call Surveying Services MEETING DATE: August 26, 2026
PREPARED BY: Mellownie Salvador, Engineer II
Koosun Kim, PE, Public Works Director
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution to:
1. Approve a shortlist of up to six pre-qualified survey consultant firms under RFQ No. PWQ2602 for on-call professional surveying services.
2. Approve the standard Master Consultant Agreement (MCA) to be used between the City of Mountain House and each approved consultant.
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute multi-year MCAs with up to six approved consultants, subject to satisfaction of all City insurance and contractual requirements, with total contract authority not to exceed $300,000 per agreement, for an initial term through June 30, 2029, with one optional two-year extension.
4. Authorize the Public Works Director or designee to issue project-specific task orders under the approved MCAs, subject to available funding and a not-to-exceed amount of $100,000 per consultant per fiscal year.
BACKGROUND
The City of Mountain House is delivering a growing and increasingly complex Capital Improvement Program (CIP), along with ongoing operational engineering needs. These efforts include roadway, utility, drainage, traffic, landscape, and multimodal infrastructure projects, many of which must be delivered within tight schedules or grant-driven timelines.
To support timely project delivery and maintain flexibility, the City utilizes on-call professional survey consultants to supplement staff resources and provide specialized surveying expertise as needed.
Establishing a pool of pre-qualified firms allows the City to complete a competitive, qualifications-based selection process in advance and issue project-specific task orders as needs arise, rather than conducting a separate procurement for each individual assignment. Surveying services provide the field measurements, mapping, boundary information, construction layout, and record documentation needed to accurately design, construct, and document public infrastructure improvements.
Item 7.5
Mountain House Page 625 of 1946 To establish a pre-qualified consultant pool for future surveying services, the City issued Request for Qualifications (RFQ) No. PWQ2602 on May 6, 2026.
Master Consultant Agreements
The proposed MCAs establish a standardized contractual framework governing the City's relationship with each consultant. The MCAs include requirements related to insurance, indemnification, invoicing, compliance with applicable laws, and dispute resolution.
Approval of the MCA form does not authorize any specific work or funding. Professional services will only be authorized through written, project-specific task orders executed under the approved MCAs.
The MCA structure allows the City to assign projects efficiently without conducting repetitive procurements for each individual assignment and to utilize consultants that have already been evaluated and determined qualified. This framework also allows the City to respond more effectively to project schedules and operational needs, maintain administrative consistency across consultant services, and establish cost controls through task-order limits and budget oversight.
All consultant work performed under the proposed MCAs will remain subject to City oversight and available project funding.
Task Orders and Consultant Utilization
If approved, consultants will be utilized on an as-needed basis through individual task orders based on project needs, workload demands, project complexity, consultant expertise and performance, and staff capacity. Task orders will remain subject to available funding and a not-to-exceed amount of $100,000 per consultant per fiscal year.
Approval of the consultant pool does not guarantee any minimum amount of work to any consultant firm.
Task orders will be issued at the discretion of the City based on project needs, staff capacity, consultant qualifications and expertise, availability, performance, and other relevant considerations, and will include a defined scope of work, schedule requirements, compensation limits, and project-specific deliverables.
The proposed resolution is included as Attachment B. The proposed MCAs for each recommended consultant are included as Attachments C through H.
DISCUSSION
RFQ Process and Evaluation
Item 7.5
Mountain House Page 626 of 1946 On May 6, 2026, the City issued RFQ No. PWQ2602 seeking Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from firms capable of providing professional on-call surveying services in support of CIP projects and operational needs. The RFQ anticipated services including pre-engineering and topographic surveys, construction staking and layout, as-built surveys, survey monumentation, subsurface utility locating, legal descriptions, and related surveying services and deliverables.
By the RFQ submittal deadline of May 27, 2026, the City received six SOQs. Staff evaluated the submittals consistent with the criteria established in the RFQ, including firm qualifications and experience, relevant project experience and reliability, project team qualifications, and adherence to RFQ requirements.
Based on the evaluation process, all six firms were determined qualified for inclusion in the City's on-call survey consultant pool.
Pre-Qualified Survey Consultant Shortlist
The following firms are recommended for inclusion in the City's on-call survey consultant pool:
BKF Engineers
Carlson, Barbee and Gibson, Inc.
Kjeldsen, Sinnock & Neudeck, Inc.
MacKay & Somps Civil Engineers, Inc.
NV5, Inc.
R.E.Y. Engineers, Inc.
The recommended firms demonstrated the qualifications, professional expertise, staffing resources, and relevant experience necessary to support the City's anticipated surveying needs.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the proposed consultant pool and MCA framework does not appropriate funding or authorize any specific consultant work.
Consultant services will be authorized only through project-specific task orders issued under the approved MCAs and will be subject to available funding and a not-to-exceed amount of $100,000 per consultant per fiscal year.
Each MCA provides total contract authority not to exceed $300,000. The aggregate contract authority established by the MCAs does not constitute an appropriation or expenditure commitment by the City and does not guarantee any amount of work to any consultant. Actual expenditures will depend on project needs, approved task orders, and available funding.
Item 7.5
Mountain House Page 627 of 1946
STRATEGIC PLAN
This action supports the City's Strategic Plan, adopted April 9, 2025, by supporting efficient delivery of Capital Improvement Program projects, organizational effectiveness, and long-term infrastructure and asset management objectives.
CEQA
Approval of the consultant pool, Master Consultant Agreements, and rate schedules is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), as the action involves organizational and administrative activities that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable physical change in the environment.
ACTION FOLLOWING CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL
Upon approval, staff will finalize and execute Master Consultant Agreements with up to six approved consultant firms that satisfy applicable City insurance and contractual requirements and establish taskorder procedures for future on-call surveying services.
Consultants may later be assigned project-specific task orders on an as-needed basis in accordance with approved funding sources and applicable not-to-exceed limits.

RE: Statement of Qualifications for RFQ# PWQ-2602 – On-Call Surveying Services Dear Selection Committee:
BKF Engineers (BKF) is pleased to submit our Statement of Qualifications for the City of Mountain House’s On-Call Surveying Services. We understand the City requires a responsive consultant capable of delivering accurate, timely, and compliant surveying services to support ongoing capital improvements, development activity, and infrastructure needs within a growing community. Our team is experienced in working under task order–based contracts, coordinating closely with City staff to define scope, schedule, and budget, and providing the full range of services anticipated, including topographic surveys, utility investigations, rightof-way mapping, construction staking, and preparation of plats and legal descriptions.
BKF recognizes the importance of maintaining a reliable monumentation framework and control network to support the City’s ongoing growth and capital improvement program. Our team has extensive experience preserving existing monuments, establishing new benchmarks, and developing citywide horizontal and vertical control networks that provide a consistent foundation for design, construction, and long-term asset management. This experience allows us to support Mountain House with survey control aligned with City standards and future infrastructure needs. BKF has been providing surveying services to public agencies throughout California for over 110 years, with extensive experience supporting municipal infrastructure, capital improvement, and development programs. Our firm maintains a large and experienced surveying group, including licensed Professional Land Surveyors, field crews, CAD technicians, and GIS specialists equipped with advanced technologies such as GNSS, robotic total stations, and high-definition scanning platforms. Our team regularly performs boundary surveys, topographic mapping, ALTA/NSPS surveys, right-of-way mapping, construction staking, utility surveys, and preparation of plats and legal descriptions in compliance with the California Land Surveyors Act and municipal standards. Our experience supporting long-term on-call contracts with cities such as Brentwood, Palo Alto, and San Jose, reflects our ability to operate effectively within continuing task order agreements while delivering consistent technical performance and communication.
In the last 5 years, we have perpetuated and preserved more than a thousand monuments filing (pre/post construction) Corner Records. For example, in the City of Burbank we used GIS geodatabase to manage the monument preservation efforts. We have helped cities on establishing city-wide survey control networks, including setting benchmarks and filing Record of Surveys.

Item 7.5
Mountain House Page 688 of 1946 City of Mountain House, RFQ# PWQ-2602 | 11
The following approach supports consistent task order delivery for the City of Mountain House’s on-call surveying program. For each task order, BKF coordinates with City staff to confirm scope, schedule, and budget prior to the City authorizing a Notice to Proceed, then executes field and office activities using defined QA/QC checkpoints and documented deliverables. Depending on a task order, BKF will prepare a survey work plan and approach similar to this:
1. Develop A Survey Work Plan
At the start of each task order, BKF prepares a
task-specific Survey Work Plan that documents
the limits of work, survey methods, anticipated
field and office effort, deliverables, and schedule
milestones. The Work Plan is developed by the Survey
Manager, Ben Santos, in coordination with City staff and under oversight from the Principal-in-Charge/Project
Manager, Jason Kirchmann. The Work Plan also identifies required records, access needs, utility coordination, and City review touchpoints so expectations are clear before field mobilization.
BKF begins with records review and reference compilation appropriate to the assignment, which may include
recorded maps and deeds, prior surveys, available base
mapping, and utility record information, plus any title reports requested by the City. Field reconnaissance is
performed as needed to confirm access, site constraints, and control opportunities prior to full production.
For design surveys, BKF coordinates USA marking
arrangements and documents assumptions and constraints
in the task order scope so the City can evaluate any
impacts to schedule or effort early.
Survey control and deliverables follow the City’s stated standards for new projects: NAVD 88 vertical datum,
U.S. Survey Foot units, and grid-to-ground distance
conversions as required. Control is tied to CSRS-H or the NGS National Geodetic Reference System with FGCS B
order accuracy or better, or to acceptable controls tied to those stations, and control coordinates with different epochs are adjusted for consistency. Accuracy targets
are equivalent to or in substantial compliance with FGCS first order or better for controls and monumentation, and second order or better for other survey work.
2. Communicate Comprehensively
BKF uses a defined communication cadence
to maintain schedule and reduce rework
across task orders. The Principal-in-Charge/
Project Manager maintains periodic contact with City
leadership as appropriate, while day-to-day coordination runs through Ben Santos. Prior to mobilization, field crews receive a survey package that includes the approved limits of work, task-specific checklists, applicable reference materials, and deliverable requirements, including City CADD format expectations.
During field production, the survey party chief and Project Manager maintain daily check-ins to identify access issues, unexpected site conditions, conflicts in record information, or utility coordination needs. Progress is tracked against the task order schedule and adjusted promptly when
constraints affect production. Field notes, photos, and data files are uploaded daily for review so questions can be resolved while crews remain on the assignment.
3. Review Work Products Frequently
Quality control is integrated throughout
production. BKF reviews raw field data for
completeness and consistency, verifies control
and measurements, and evaluates boundary and rightof-way information against record documents when applicable. Data is processed into CAD deliverables with checks for layer standards, annotation, symbology, and
completeness consistent with City and County CADD
standards or the applicable filing format for Records of Survey, subdivision maps, or related documents.
Prior to submittal, deliverables receive an independent review by a licensed land surveyor to verify technical
compliance, clarity, and completeness. If the City requests cost-effective deviations (such as temporary controls
later tied to established control), BKF obtains City
approval in advance and documents the deviation in the
task order scope.
Approach
SECTION 2
ATTACHMENT C
Item 7.5
Mountain House Page 689 of 1946 City of Mountain House, RFQ# PWQ-2602 | 12
SECTION
Where site conditions warrant, BKF uses highdefinition terrestrial laser scanning and UAS-based collection to capture dense surface data efficiently
and support a “capture once” workflow that reduces
repeat mobilizations. For subsurface utility support, BKF coordinates USA markings and may use qualified utility
locating methods such as electromagnetic detection,
GPR, and coordination with potholing firms when
the task order requires subsurface verification, with
documentation adequate for City review. All outputs
remain integrated into BKF’s QA/QC process and are
supervised by a licensed land surveyor.
Scope Methodology Aligned to
Mountain House Requirements
For City design projects, BKF performs preparation
activities that include records search, site visitation, compilation of City and agency reference drawings,
and utility marking coordination. For field surveying,
BKF collects the items identified by the City for design base maps, which may include aerial orthophotos
(when included in the task order), parcel identifiers and addresses bordering right-of-way, street cross-sections at approximately 50-foot intervals, surface features within right-of-way plus applicable City facilities, and subsurface utilities based on record information and field verification.
BKF documents visible encroachments within the limits of work when observed during survey activities.
Quality, Budget, and Schedule Control
BKF’s approach integrates quality, schedule adherence,
and scope completeness throughout each task order
to align with the City’s performance-based evaluation
criteria. BKF tracks agreed schedules and plan check
timelines, applies defined QA/QC procedures to
support clear and accurate deliverables, and completes
assignments in accordance with the authorized scope.
At task order initiation, BKF confirms scope, deliverables, schedule milestones, and budget assumptions with City
staff and documents them in the Survey Work Plan.
The Survey Manager monitors task-level budgets and
production rates and coordinates staffing adjustments
when priorities or constraints shift. Progress is reviewed routinely against the approved schedule so risks are
identified early rather than late in production.
QA/QC is applied at defined checkpoints: after control
establishment, after initial feature collection, during office processing, and prior to submittal. Reviews address control verification, closure and boundary analysis
(when applicable), completeness of topographic features and utilities within the limits of work, and compliance with deliverable requirements. All final documents are
signed and sealed by a California-licensed land surveyor, consistent with the RFQ.
BKF also aligns administration to the City’s expectations for invoice accuracy and timeliness. Invoices are
submitted within 15 days of month-end and identify
the project name, task order, work categories, and other required billing details so the City can process charges efficiently and track performance across assignments.
Procedural and Technical Enhancements
BKF applies proven technologies selectively based on task order needs, site conditions, and safety considerations while maintaining consistency with City requirements
and deliverables. For control and layout, BKF uses robotic total stations and GNSS methods appropriate to the site, with verification workflows to support defensible results.
When precise vertical control is required, BKF uses digital leveling equipment to support accurate elevations tied to the specified datum.

SECTION 2
Deliverables typically include a 40-scale (or larger)
plan view with linework and annotation, field notes,
calculations, record data used, and supporting
documentation. Preliminary submittals include three
half-sized prints for City review and a copy of backup
data used to create the survey (utility maps, photos of markings, as-builts, easements, and similar materials).
Final submittals include signed and sealed plan sets, a reproducible half-sized set, a full-sized reproducible set, and electronic CAD files produced to City and County
CADD standards, except where a filing format requires a different standard.
For boundary and miscellaneous surveying tasks, BKF
performs records research, field surveys to locate and
stake property lines, verification of field data supporting property line resolution, and preparation of plats, legal descriptions, corner records, and Records of Survey when required. Monumentation is installed per City standards when part of the authorized task order, with inscription content confirmed with the City prior to installation.
Accounting and Billing Procedures
BKF uses the Deltek platform to track labor and project expenses by task order and to support consistent cost
control and invoicing. BKF’s on-call teams record time
and expenses to the applicable project number in the
Deltek Vantagepoint system so charges can be monitored
against the authorized scope and budget throughout the
life of each task order.
Invoices will be submitted no more often than once per
month in accordance with the City of Mountain House’s
Master Consultant Agreement requirements, and will be
delivered via email to [email protected]. BKF aligns
billing cycles with the City’s performance expectations for correct, accurate, and timely invoices, including submittal within the City’s stated timeframe after month-end.
BKF monitors task order labor and expense charges
in Deltek on an ongoing basis to support transparent
tracking of burn rates and to allow the Project Manager to identify variances early and communicate promptly
with City staff when scope clarification, access constraints, or schedule changes may affect level of effort. This
approach supports consistent documentation, clear
invoice back-up when requested, and predictable monthly billing aligned with the City’s schedule adherence and
quality expectations.

MANAGEMENT
Upon selection to the City's On-Call Surveying Services contract, CBG will function as a seamless extension of City staff, providing responsive, reliable, and professionally managed surveying support as project needs arise. CBG is committed to delivering consistent quality and schedule adherence throughout the term of the on-call agreement.
Each assignment will be initiated through a structured task order coordination process to confirm scope, schedule, budget, deliverables, and project coordination requirements.
CBG's standard task order workflow proceeds as follows:
1. Receipt of task request from the City
2. Response within two (2) business days of receipt
3. Coordination meeting, scope refinement, and fee confirmation
4. City authorization and issuance of Notice to Proceed (NTP)
5. Mobilization of field and office resources
Terry Reeves, or the assigned Project Manager, will serve as the City's designated single point of contact for all task order activities. The Project Manager will maintain full responsibility for overall project delivery, including coordination with City staff, schedule monitoring, budget management, and technical oversight. Responsibilities include participation in weekly coordination meetings as needed, delivery of intermediate project status updates, and prompt response to Requests for Information (RFIs) and other project inquiries.
CBG maintains a proactive and transparent communication approach throughout all phases of project delivery. The Project Manager will provide regular progress updates and will immediately notify the City of any field conflicts, utility discrepancies, or potential schedule impacts, enabling corrective action to be implemented promptly and efficiently.
CBG's staffing structure supports the simultaneous execution of multiple task orders while maintaining consistent project leadership and dependable service delivery. With 11 field survey crews available for daily deployment and a combined staff of over 100 engineers and survey professionals providing office and technical support, CBG maintains the capacity to meet demanding requests.
CBG recognizes that on-call municipal surveying services demand rapid responsiveness and dependable schedule adherence. Each task order is managed using a proactive scheduling approach that integrates field operations, office production, and City milestones while maintaining flexibility to address shifting priorities. The Project Manager will continuously monitor labor expenditures against authorized task order budgets and will provide advance notification to the City prior to reaching authorized funding limits.
CBG's goal is to serve as a trusted extension of the City's Engineering Department , delivering timely and accurate surveying services, maintaining predictable schedules, and supporting efficient project delivery throughout the duration of the on-call agreement.

Item 7.5
Mountain House Page 732 of 1946 10 4. QUALITY CONTROL / ASSURANCE AND
SCHEDULE ADHERENCE PROCEDURES
CBG maintains a comprehensive Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) program designed to ensure accuracy, consistency, and reliability across all surveying deliverables. Our approach emphasizes prevention over correction by integrating quality control measures throughout each phase of project execution. Quality responsibility is shared across the entire project team, with final technical oversight provided by Mark Wehber, Professional Land Surveyor (PLS), prior to submittal to the City.
Field crews verify control prior to data collection and perform redundant observations to confirm positional accuracy. Daily field reviews are conducted to identify and resolve discrepancies before demobilization. No deliverable is transmitted to the City without successful completion of CBG's internal QA/QC review process.
CBG maintains established internal drafting, documentation, and data management standards applied consistently across all projects to ensure accuracy, clarity, and uniform deliverables. These standards govern file organization, naming conventions, layering, annotation, metadata management, and electronic data storage.
While CBG utilizes standardized internal procedures to promote efficiency and consistency, we recognize that each agency may maintain its own unique requirements. CBG will readily adapt our workflows and deliverable formats to conform to the City of Mountain House's standards, templates, and CAD requirements. Once City standards are established for the contract, they will be implemented consistently across all task orders to ensure continuity and ease of use for City staff and project partners.
Project schedules are actively monitored by the Project Manager to ensure alignment with City milestones. Any potential delays are communicated immediately, along with recommended corrective actions to maintain project momentum.
Through structured QA/QC procedures and disciplined schedule management, CBG ensures the City receives accurate, reliable surveying services, delivered on time and in full accordance with project requirements and the Subdivision Map Act.

Re: Statement of Qualifications for On-Call Surveying Services (RFP# PWQ-2602) Dear MH Contracts,
The City of Mountain House’s commitment to delivering reliable, high-quality services to its residents requires on-call partners who can respond quickly, apply sound professional judgment, and deliver accurate, review-ready surveying and mapping products. Our team understands that this role extends beyond technical execution; it requires thoughtful coordination with City staff, developers, engineers, and outside stakeholders to efficiently resolve comments, maintain compliance, and keep projects moving forward.
Kjeldsen, Sinnock & Neudeck, Inc. (KSN) brings nearly 70 years of experience supporting cities, counties, and special districts throughout Northern California, with a strong focus on providing surveying and civil engineering services to public agencies. Our team understands how local agencies operate, including the importance of timely reviews, clear communication, and maintaining consistency with applicable laws, standards, and administrative requirements. We approach each assignment as an extension of City staff, providing responsive, dependable support that aligns with the City’s expectations and workload demands.
Our experience includes both public agency review and private-sector preparation of surveying and mapping documents, allowing us to evaluate submittals from both perspectives. This enables us to identify issues early, focus on items critical to compliance and approval, and provide practical, actionable direction that supports efficient project advancement. Whether reviewing parcel maps, final maps, records of survey, legal descriptions, easements, or right-of-way documents, our team delivers clear and consistent feedback that facilitates timely resolution.
Quality assurance is central to our approach. Prior to submittal, we verify technical accuracy, confirm consistency between written descriptions and graphic exhibits, and ensure completeness and conformance with City standards. We recognize that these documents are relied upon for design, construction, records, and property rights, and we place a high priority on delivering work that is careful, defensible, and ready for practical use.
KSN’s value to the City lies in our combination of public-agency experience, private-sector production expertise, and a service-oriented mindset centered on responsiveness and accountability. We understand how applications move through agency review and approval processes and how to communicate technical comments that support progress without compromising standards. This perspective allows us to provide work products that are accurate, timely, and aligned with the City’s goals and the public interest.

3D HIGH DEFINITION SURVEYING (3D
HDS) TECHNOLOGY
KSN’s survey crews utilize the latest data collection
equipment and surveying technology available. Our
commitment to staying current with today’s fast moving
technology allows us to maintain a competitive advantage.
An example of this is our use of 3D High Definition
Surveying (3D HDS) technology. With millimeter accuracy and a full field of view our survey crews can capture 3D surface data that may otherwise be surveyed in single
point, breakline, or cross-section format. 3D HDS is an extremely effective tool for establishing as-built conditions of complicated existing structures and surfaces. This is a significant benefit when accurate as-built documents are lacking in the level of necessary detail, or are not available at all. Utilizing HDS keeps our crews out of harms way on transportation projects, and benefits our clients by providing unbelievable detail in 3D.
SMALL UNMANNED AERIAL SYSTEM
(SUAS/DRONE) PHOTOGRAPHY
KSN utilizes our sUAS Drone Program to supplement
ground surveys for project design. Typically a project
utilizing conventional photogrammetry could take weeks
to deliver. Where possible, KSN field crews are able to acquire high resolution color orthophotography on the
project mapping systems to help eliminate schedule
delays and provided higher resolution imagery over other conventional photogrammetry alternatives. KSN recently
used this technology to provide surveying and mapping
for the Red Hills Road over Six Bit Gulch in Tuolumne
County. Staff on our proposed team, including Joseph
Pilatti, Manuel Sandoval, Carter Thomas, and Wesley
Roper are FAA-certified drone pilots.

Our team provides responsive, technically sound, and code-compliant support for municipal mapping review, mapping preparation, and the review and preparation of surveying-related documents. We will approach each assignment as an extension of City staff, with an emphasis on accuracy, defensibility, and timely delivery.
In supporting the City of Mountain House, we recognize the role these services play in advancing development review, capital improvement projects, and day-to-day operations. Our team is committed to delivering clear, reliable work products that help maintain consistency with City standards while allowing projects to move forward efficiently.
Each proposed team member brings a strong understanding of public agency processes and is prepared to provide professional, detailoriented support throughout the duration of the on-call contract.
Backed by experience serving small to mid-sized communities, we offer the technical capability and responsiveness needed to meet the City’s needs with consistency and care.

KSN has been retained by the County of
Tuolumne for on-call surveying services.
Two separate task orders have been
issued to KSN under the current on-call
contract period. Below is a more detailed
description of the services provided.
2023 Storm Culverts
The winter storms in January and
March 2023 wreaked havoc throughout
Tuolumne County (County) and the rest
of California causing flood and wind
related damage. In particular, three
culverts that crossed Mi Wu Street at Bear Creek and Rattlesnake Creek and crossed Willow Springs Drive sustained significant damage resulting from elevated stream flows. The County is moving forward with rehabilitating these culverts to restore adequate function (Project). KSN’s survey team provided surveying and mapping services for the project, which included establishing project survey control, and ground surveys at each site. The surveying and mapping were then provided to the design team to develop the background mapping for designing improvements.

The Smith Canal Gate Project is the first
phase of USACE’s Lower San Joaquin
River Project. The project consists of a
flood closure device at the mouth of Smith
Canal that will provide flood protection to
approximately 8,000 residences in Central
Stockton. The genesis for the project was
actions by FEMA to remap a large portion
of Central Stockton into a Special Flood
Hazard Area. The project is a partnership
between SJAFCA, Reclamation District
No. 828 (Weber Tract), and Reclamation
District No. 1614 (Smith Tract) and will
close a “flood protection gap” between a FEMA accredited levee to the north and high ground to the south.
Surveying and Real Estate Support
KSN was responsible for the surveying and mapping for the project that included a combination of aerial surveys and photography, infill field surveys, and bathymetric surveys. KSN established a survey control network and prepared the base mapping that would be used by the design team in the design of the project. Additional surveys and research were performed to prepare preliminary boundary and right of way mapping. Ultimately, KSN prepared a real estate requirements map and acquisition packages consisting of legal plats and descriptions. Upon completion of the project, KSN will be preparing a Record of Survey.

City of Mountain House • On-Call Surveying Services • May 2026 To serve on-call projects, MacKay & Somps has procedures in place to allocate resources quickly and efficiently to serve the needs of our clients. As an office, we maintain workload projections that are updated monthly to reflect the status of all our current projects. These projections include placeholders for potential on-call efforts for each of our contracts. On-call projections are estimated in levels of effort (in hours) based on allocated employee resources, their respective billing rates, and the anticipated types of projects for each contract. These projections are typically conservative to ensure we have adequate staff available.
Together with our workload projections, we maintain open lines of communication with each contracted public and private agencies to better understand their ever-evolving needs. We have found that being proactive in communication with agencies gives us a better ability to anticipate their upcoming projects and prepare our resources accordingly. This is especially crucial with emergency on-call contracts in which circumstances and expectations change even more quickly than usual.
Once the scope, schedule, and budget are clearly defined, our typical turnaround time depends on the complexity of the project. For straightforward tasks such as construction staking on an existing project, the turnaround time is 48 hours or less. For detailed tasks, requiring advanced planning such as boundary surveys and complex topographic surveys, it may take several weeks depending on the size and complexity of the site. We strive to maintain flexibility and responsiveness to meet client deadlines while ensuring that our work is accurate, comprehensive, and in compliance with all relevant regulations. Our office is only a short distance away from the City of Mountain House properties, allowing us to be responsive to the Client’s needs and ensuring that attending meetings both online and in person will not be an issue.

For the Zone 7 Emergency Creek Repair
project, we obtained field surveyed
topographic data using GPS and
traditional surveying methods to
precisely locate critical limits, confirm
locations, and capture topographic
features. This process also involved
locating surface and underground
facilities that were visible, such as the
limits of the adjacent concrete
confluence structure, pavement limits,
pipe culverts, culvert headwalls, water
lines, and fences. We reviewed and compiled GIS data previously gathered by Zone 7 and other consultants in the surrounding area to develop an accurate base map.
Additionally, LiDAR-equipped drones were employed to capture aerial photography and photogrammetry of the project site and surrounding area. This data was then used to develop aerial backgrounds and 3D surface models for coordination and permitting exhibits, and construction documents.
To ensure accuracy and consistency, MacKay & Somps established survey control through a network of precise control points throughout the project area. During the construction phase, we provided construction staking to guide repair activities, marking critical features such as excavation limits, structural alignments, and grade elevations to facilitate smooth implementation of design plans.
Our comprehensive approach allows us to effectively establish profiles and cross-sections of water bodies, supporting the successful execution of complex design and construction projects.
Land surveying plays a critical role in supporting construction to facilitate accurate implementation of design plans in the field. MacKay & Somps works closely with contractors to provide precise layout services, ensuring the alignment, elevation, and location of structures are consistent with the approved design. Our team conducts regular survey verifications to monitor progress, confirm that construction activities meet design specifications, and address any discrepancies in real time.
Common errors made by contractors in the field often include misalignment of structures, incorrect placement of utilities, and failure to adhere to grade elevations. These issues can stem from miscommunication, inaccuracies in initial measurements, design conflicts or errors during staking. Prior to ever placing construction staking reference points in the field, our office survey team will evaluate and apply our own internal QC, to which we have a detailed manual of staking guidelines.

Some initial questions might be:
Do we have a clear understanding of the survey request? Do we have all of the information needed to complete the request successfully? Are there any design issues that need to be addressed prior to execution? Do we have proper access and approvals?
Will we be working in a safe environment?
Having answered these initial questions, among many other potential points of clarity, will offer us the opportunity to proceed successfully. Proper supervision, clear direction and thorough review help us to ensure effective project completion.
To resolve any issues that might arise, we promptly identify discrepancies through survey verification, re-stake the affected areas, and work directly with the contractor to ensure the corrected positions are implemented. Our team’s proactive approach helps mitigate costly delays and ensures the project stays on track.
We pride ourselves in being very responsive to our clients’ needs. If there is a task that needs immediate attention, we will react promptly to assist, even on very short notice. 48 hours is our preferred lead time for most general survey related tasks.
There are always lessons learned with the continued performance of surveying and engineering projects. It is through these lessons that we have learned to implement certain operational measures into our workflows that aid us in providing the best value surveying services to our clients.
Access: It is vital to operations that our field staff have ready access to all pertinent project-related information. It is the education and availability of relevant project-related information that empower our field staff to make sound decisions and work efficiently. When changing conditions and obstacles arise, our field staff have the information needed to adjust courses and remain on target. In addition, having the right information allows you to check and confirm project completion prior to leaving the job site, saving time, and money. Our office staff manages the flow and availability of project documentation and provides this information electronically to our field staff for ready access.
Communication: Strong communication and coordination are critical to keeping projects moving efficiently. At MacKay & Somps, our field and office staff are fully integrated with direct field-to-office connectivity. Project information can be transferred directly between the field and office through electronic file sharing utilities, including survey-specific file types, with simple drag-and-drop functionality or the push of a button. This streamlined workflow helps avoid delays, missing information, or data loss while giving field crews immediate access to office support and troubleshooting when needed.
Field-to-Finish: If it is a refined CAD drawing that is required, we have the means to collect the field survey data to allow for streamline topographic mapping in CAD. This allows for advanced clarity and standardization. We can set our standards to match that of the City of Mountain House as required for layer management and feature identification.

Consulting Fees: $150k
Project Duration: January August 2020-Present
MacKay & Somps’ scope for the Redwood Regional Park FEMA Stream Repairs Project included comprehensive surveying and engineering services. The project began with thorough records research and topographic surveys, which provided accurate mapping of critical site features, utilities, and existing conditions across 11 repair locations. Surveys employed GPS and conventional methods to locate surface and underground facilities, culminating in the creation of detailed base maps. These maps served as the foundation for design and construction.
Survey efforts will continue through construction and post-construction. Construction staking will establish work limits, benchmarks, and control points at each site to support the slope stabilization, culvert replacement, and erosion protection improvements. Post-construction surveys will document as-built conditions and confirm the completed work matches the design and permit requirements. These efforts help keep construction moving efficiently while supporting the park district’s environmental and infrastructure goals.

For the restroom improvement projects at Del
Valle Regional Park (Punta Vaca), Reinhardt
Redwood Regional Park (Trudeau Staging Area),
and Point Pinole Regional Park (Woods Trail), our
scope of services included critical land surveying
and civil engineering tasks to support site design
and accessibility improvements.
At each location, we conducted detailed topographic surveys using conventional and aerial methods to document existing conditions, including utilities, surface features, and contours at a 1-foot interval. These surveys informed the preparation of basemaps in AutoCAD, providing a foundation for precise civil design. We collaborated with clients to develop preliminary site plans, finalize grading, utility, and accessibility improvements, and ensure compliance with ADA standards where required. Our team assisted in processing improvement plans through Alameda and Contra Costa counties, integrating environmentally responsible practices with practical site solutions.
Our staking efforts played a pivotal role in facilitating precise construction and ensuring adherence to design specifications. Our team provided comprehensive construction staking services, establishing critical survey control points, benchmarks, and layout markings for the placement of prefabricated restroom structures, ADA pathways, and associated grading features. These efforts included staking for finished grades, utility connections, and accessible paths to ensure proper alignment and slope compliance. The staking process also supported contractors in accurately positioning key site features, such as sidewalks, hardscapes, and drainage elements.
