Page 4

A. All surveys must be tied to the City of Suffolk Geodetic Control network. If the location

monumentation network, the survey firm will be required to petition the City for relief

from this requirement. In the event of relief being granted by the City, all other

The granting relief in this instance does not relieve the firm from any other

submittal requirements.

B. All project deliverables will clearly define two (2) State Plane Coordinate Systems

Northing and Eastings within the bounds of the project. These start points will be used

to control Coordinate Geometry entry by the City if necessary.

C. All survey projects will provide a full definition of curves and segments of curves. At a

minimum, each curve or segment of curve will be identified with Radius, Arc Length,

Chord Bearing, Chord Length, and Internal Angle.

D. All surveys will be provided in digital form, as well as the number of hard copy printouts,

as defined by the project manager. The digital submission will be required to be in the

State Plane Coordinate System. It is desired that this digital submission be made using

ESRI Sharpe files; however, AutoCAD and MicroStation will be acceptable to the City.

E. When the survey work performed involves parcel dimensions, all submission

requirements aspects of the Subdivision Ordinances outlined in the Unified
