II. Description of Services Needed
#1: Salmon Brook Park Survey
The selected surveyor will be asked to complete a survey of a portion of Salmon Brook Park. The
Town has received funding under the Small Town Economic Assistance Program (STEAP) to
construct a walking path/sidewalk from the auxiliary parking lot located at 53 West Granby Road
to the existing walking path in Salmon Brook Park, located at 215 Salmon Brook Park. See
Appendix A for the approximate location of this proposed path and required survey limits. The
Town Engineer will be designing this path and a survey is required before design can begin. Please
refer to the following for the survey requirements:
1. The survey shall be a T-2 Topographic Survey with an A-2 control traverse to be used for
construction staking. Scale to be 1"=20' in AutoCAD, 2014 to 2025 format acceptable.
Electronic data information shall include a surface usable in Civil 3D. All electronic
information is only for the benefit of the Town of Granby for this particular survey. The
surveyor will provide three (3) signed and sealed hard copies of the survey which will be the
official survey.
2. Location of existing property line and corner markers where requested on the topo limit
plan. Property line information is for reference only and a Class A-2 determination is not
required.
3. Location of the two Salmon Brook Water District well as shown on the topo limit plan.
4. Horizontal and vertical datum to be based on the existing survey of the previous project in
the park and will be provided by the town. Survey to show control point with coordinates
and elevations on each sheet.
5. Any information obtained from other sources or maps shall be noted giving date and origin
of the information.
6. The orientation of the sheets shall be as directed by the Town Engineer.
7. Where the area surveyed involves more than one sheet, a key plan and adequately marked
"match lines" shall appear on each sheet.
8. The survey shall be based on a drawing template provided by the Town Engineer. All
information shall be shown on the layer system included in the drawing template.
9. Lines and line strings which represent the same graphic element must be continuous (i.e.,
not broken or segmented), unless that segmentation reflects a specific visual line type.
Lines/strings representing the same type of data must not cross except at intersections.
8. The following items within the survey limits are to be shown:
a. Contours at 1- foot intervals with spot elevations. Benchmarks and control points to
be used for construction staking shall be provided.
b. Elevation of floors, top of manhole frames, paved streets, curbs, culvert inverts and
adjacent waterways. When existing storm and sanitary sewers extend across the street(s)
bordering the property, or extend through the site, the survey shall show the location, top-
of-frame and invert information for the next structure past the site.
c. Location of buildings, retaining walls, ditches, streams, stream channel encroachment
lines, flood plain lines, manholes, catch basins, culverts, poles, fire hydrants, streets, drives,
walks, fences, hedges, boundary of wooded sections, isolated trees with a diameter 6-
inches or greater with size and type, landscaped areas, and any other man made or natural
features which would interfere with or cause obstruction to developing the land for further
construction.
d. Any obvious features which indicate the location of utilities that are serving or could
serve the area including inverts of storm and sanitary sewers at manholes.
e. Locations of existing underground structures such as underground tanks, water lines and
other utilities including valve boxes serving the area. Locations to be noted “as per plan,”
or field located.
f. When watercourses, or other water bodies occur within the survey area, their limits shall
be shown.
g. The corners of the existing play fields adjacent to the proposed sidewalk are marked
with plastic base anchors that will be recovered by others. These are to be located and
shown on the survey. The actual layout may be different than shown on the Topo Limit
plan. There is also an irrigation system that will be marked out by others and is to be shown
on the survey.
This survey shall be completed by July 15, 2026.
#2: 5 Canton Road Survey
The selected surveyor will be asked to complete a survey of 5 Canton Road in preparation for the
potential redevelopment or sale of this property.
The survey is to be performed in accordance with the Professional Standards of Practice as defined
by the Connecticut Association of Land Surveyors in their Standards for Surveys and Maps in the
State of Connecticut. The survey shall show property boundaries setting forth the metes and
bounds of the above property. A fixed line mylar suitable for filing in the land records of the Town
Clerk’s Office will be required. There will also be a need for an accompanying written legal
description of the property, suitable to be incorporated in a filed deed of the property. The survey
shall comply with the boundary survey measurement standards, certified conforming to Class A-
2, and all other associated laws, professional standards and practices.
In addition to the above, the following shall be required:
1. The surveyor shall mark every 100 feet of the property perimeter that is not bounded by a
roadway or evidenced by a fence line or stonewall, with a wood stake and flag.
2. In addition to the mylar, the surveyor shall prepare and provide the Town with the survey
map in digital format and geospatial data capable of being imported into a Geographic
Information System (GIS) using common GIS software and in AutoCAD.
3. The surveyor shall note any encroachments.

would be needed by October 2026.
