The cumulative total for a typical task order issued under a contract is estimated at $5,000.00 - $50,000.00. An Arizona Registered Professional Land Surveyor must be assigned to each task order. Only firms with Registered Professional Surveyor(s) licensed in the state in of Arizona will be considered. Tasks include, but are not limited to, identification, monumentation and perpetuation of property corners and controlling corners for land surveys performed to locate property boundaries, boundary line posting and maintenance of previously posted lines.

Most all work will require the results of survey plat to be recorded in the public record.

A map of the general work area is available by contacting rjjackson@fs.fed.us. Estimated award date is on or about May 15, 2011. Individual task orders will be issued against each contract as needed to accomplish the work. Completion time will vary with each individual task order, and may be negotiated.

Firms responding to this announcement before the closing date will be considered for selection, subject to any limitations with respect to size and geographic location of firm, specialized technical expertise and other requirements listed.
