#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.

map in digital format and geospatial data capable of being imported into a Geographic
