No survey will be performed as part of the development of the preliminary alignment alternatives. Once a recommended alignment alternative has been approved by the City and MDC, the surveying Subconsultant will perform the necessary research to establish the existing right-of-way centerline and tie the centerline to the coordinate system used for the aerial photography and GIS files (Ada County GIS Base Map Datum). Individual parcel property lines will be identified for up to 46 parcels along the recommended alignment alternative. The property lines will be based on information from deeds and plats. Initial research of the deeds for the properties within the study area will be performed to determine and confirm property lines along the right-of-way. Title reports for each of the properties will not be requested and are not included in this scope of work. 1.1 Project Control and R/VU: Subconsultant will perform necessary research to locate existing section corners and establish project control and existing centerline to facilitate property ownership and future supplemental field surveys. The control will be translated, if necessary, to the Ada County coordinates used for the aerial photography and GIS files provided by the Cify of Meridian (Ada County GIS Base Map Datum). Right-of-way will be identified for up to 46 parcels along the approved alignment alternative and will be based on information from deeds and plats. Property boundaries fronting the approved alignment will be surveyed..
