Advise them of theproposed schedule. Discuss any special concerns or instructions they may have in regardsto the proposed schedule and/or work.Review SOW and supporting documents, discuss project with crew.Arrange to have vehicles and trailers moved.Make motel, office trailer space reservations, arrange for phone line to office trailer.Notify office/mailroom of moving dates.Verify “Report of Transfer and/or Assignment” paperwork has been started.Project ReconnaissanceMeet with Agency contact or representative, review project with them, request copies ofany utility and /or boundary information, maps or deeds.Contact adjacent landowners; obtain permission to enter their property, request copies ofany utility and/or boundary information, maps or deeds.Recon project site with the Agency contact or representative and field crew.Identify all areas of potential safety and traffic control concerns, discuss with Agencycontact or representative and field crew.Note any areas of special concern to the design process.Recover all horizontal and vertical control points required for the project. Verify thatcontrol points are stable and usable.Review SOW with Project Engineer/Designer; advise them of concerns and potentialproblems that have come up during your recon of the site.Formulate a “Plan of Attack” for the project, review with the crew, and ask for suggestions.Start Weekly and Final Reports.Project ControlIdentify areas requiring additional control points, wing points and etc.Set all additional control and wing points (if required), panel required points.Take digital photos of project site, any problem areas, control points and vicinity.Establish horizontal and vertical control points and required panel points, as required, perCFLHD specifications.Identify visible utilities, marked buried utilities and any signs or indication of buriedutilities to be located.Identify all aliquot corners and property corners to be located.Review control files and upload into data collectors.L:\SURVEY\QAQC\Final QC checklists for distribution\S1 CFLHD Survey & Mapping Checklist.doc Page 1of 5

Ensure thatatmospheric corrections are entered into the instrument for the elevation and conditions atthe site.Measure (and record data) to the backsight and at least one other primary control point.Verify that measurement meet CFLHD specifications.Begin collecting data as outlined by the SOW. Collect all data in a logical manner, insuringthat all required data is collected.Collect data using proper file names, feature codes, naming conventions and breaklines.Re-measure (and record data) to the backsight and at least one other primary control point.Verify that primary control points still meet CFLHD specifications.Download data files nightly, review and correct all errors.Fill out Weekly Reports.Project QA/QC Field ReviewUpon completion of a site or segment, combine the daily files, check for crossingbreaklines, create a TIN and contour lines, insert symbology and review map for errors.Combine all segments, review breaklines, re-run TIN and contour lines and review map forerrors.Project SummaryReview Weekly Reports, complete Final Report. Prepare a tabular listing of all files and abrief description of their contents.Organize project electronic files, hardcopy field notes, maps miscellaneous notes.Complete Travel Vouchers for this project, verify that all bills, invoices and charges arepaid or arranged for payment.Transfer all required electronic files to the L:\SURVEY\STATE\PROJECT\SURVEY\THEPROPER FOLDER, Burn a backup CD or DVD and mail with hard copies to the office.PLANNING AND PREPARATION FOR AERIAL MAPPINGAerial Photo limits determinedScale of map determinedCoordinate with hydraulics &/or other sections if theyDOQQ & DRG obtained and geo-referencedFlight line (dgn) file createdhave needs in the areaFlight lines cover requested area in correct photoscaleProposed control locations shownDetermine time frame to fly aerialRequest bids from three aerial companiesPrepare Purchase Request and supporting documentsObtain check photo set and confirm compliance with aerial photography specificationsField surveyor annotates control photosL:\SURVEY\QAQC\Final QC checklists for distribution\S1 CFLHD Survey & Mapping Checklist.doc Page 2of 5
