Boulder County Parks and Open Space Land Surveying

The Boulder County Parks and Open Space Department (BCPOS), is seeking statement of qualifications for surveyor services. From time to time BCPOS requires the services of licensed surveyors for properties both within and adjacent to Boulder County, for properties which BCPOS owns or over which it may acquire an interest.

This solicitation for qualifications seeks to create a "short list" of vendors under contract with the County; however, it does not guarantee work.

All surveys of land owned by or to be purchased by Boulder County must follow these guidelines:

• Unless otherwise stated in writing, all surveys should meet ALTA/NSPS minimum standard detail requirements and should meet all State of Colorado requirements for Land Surveying and specifically for Monumented Land Surveys or Improvement Surveys.
• Boulder County reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to request other surveying services. Such services may include, but are not limited to, topographic surveys, monumented land surveys, boundary surveys, and Improvement Location Certificates.
• All field work shall conform to the laws and ordinances of Boulder County and Colorado Department of Transportation. Traffic control will be the responsibility of the surveyor.

ALTA/NSPS Surveys

Boulder County requires ALTA/NSPS survey product deliverables to include the following: one hard copy of the draft survey to the designated BCPOS staff contact; and, once the draft survey is approved, electronic copies of the final stamped survey and accompanying products, one copy of each parcel's metes and bounds surveyed legal description in Microsoft Word format, electronic document proving the mathematical closure and area of each surveyed parcel, a .pdf of the survey plat formatted for 11x17 paper, copies of all Colorado land monument survey records used or prepared while surveying the property, and receipts showing that the final survey plat has been filed with the Boulder County Land Use Department. [...]

• Installation of a minimum of three (3) benchmarks.

Vendors will be selected on a project-by-project basis. For projects less than $10,000, the County may assign work to any vendor on the shortlist based on project needs. For projects $10,000 and greater, the County will reach out to all vendors under contract on the short list and provide a deadline for vendors to provide a quote. The County will select a vendor based on the quotes timely provided.

Boulder County will supply Annual Rate Sheets for the five (5) year duration of the contract.

Contractor work hours shall be designated in accordance with each project awarded, in general Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. – 4:30p.m. Unless specified otherwise in individual awarded Projects.

It is required for all Architects, Professional Engineers and Professional Land Surveyors to be fully-licensed through the State of Colorado.
