Land Survey Services

The Erie County Water Authority in Buffalo, New York is seeking a qualified vendor to provide comprehensive land survey services. The authority requires accurate and proper staking of the property to clearly identify all boundary lines. This project will solve the authority's need for detailed spatial and physical data of the specified parcel and its immediate surroundings. The scope of work covers identifying the names of adjacent property owners within two hundred feet of the project parcel. The selected vendor must map topographic features, including spot elevations and one-foot interval contours from a benchmark relating to datum, extending grades twenty-five feet beyond the property where possible and including the full width of the right-of-way. The survey must also detail pipe sizes and inverts of utility improvements such as storm sewers, sanitary sewers, manhole rims and sumps, vent risers, waterlines, meter pits, valve boxes, electrical lines, gas lines, and telephone lines. The authority requires the mapping of all structures, monuments, roadways, paved surfaces, ponds, watercourses, poles, fencing, guardrails, and curb cuts, including those of adjacent property owners and opposite rights-of-way. A tree survey must identify all plantings four inches in diameter and larger, measured two feet above grade, including species, as well as the approximate limits of brush and overgrown, inaccessible areas. Eligible bidders must be onshore United States organizations, and the performance of the work will be conducted offsite. The authority is looking for proposals to determine the budget for this project. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 18, 2026.
