The survey crew performs the task of locating, placing and surveying new benchmarks.

In 2001 and 2002 the City is installing a new benchmark system. The first phase of this system will be in place by July 2002. After values are captured for each of these new points, the current benchmark system will be replaced with the newly surveyed set. There will be elevation values for all new points and horizontal on each section corner. Watch for updates on the progress of the new system. Included in this update is a change in the city standard coordinate system.

Construction Services provides licensed professional surveyors for projects and developments within the City.

The City has a two man survey crew whom assist city departments with construction staking of their projects. They also assist staff engineers with gathering field data for the designing of Captial Improvement Projects and Food Tax projects. They are also available to assist City staff with other surveying needs, ranging from locating easements to river cross sections.

Reviews of construction based on City standards and quality assurance procedures.

All developments, improvements, or repairs to the City's infrastructure require inspection by a City certified inspector. This is to maintain city-wide construction standards to assure the quality development of Greeley's public infrastructure. This includes but is not limited to streets, sidewalks, gutters, curbs, water lines, sanitary sewer lines, and dry utility trenches.

• Food Tax - One inspector is assigned to work with Food Tax project managers to handle the same type of work. The inspector also assists with field measurements for cost estimates from the Food Tax budget.
• Building Permits - Construction Services provides for the inspection of construction dealing with the public infrastructure to confirm that a development may obtain a building permit.
• Warranty Inspections - Inspect development warranties of work done within a public right

It is the goal of the Construction Services Program to make sure all new development or repairs done for the City infrastructure adheres to all City standards. To do this, all materials are core tested in our lab. These materials include soils, concrete and/or asphalt.

Items Tested:

• Pavement
• Concrete
