Project Name: Venice Gardens WTP
Project Location: Venice, Florida
Client: Greeley& Hansen, LLC for Sarasota County Utilities
Contact: Michael Knowles, PE
Address: 10752 Deerwood Park Blvd., Ste 100, Jacksonville, Florida 32256
Phone Number: 904-934-2580
Email:[email protected]
Budget: $3,400.00
Start Date: 11/11/13
Completion Date: 5/29/15
Project Description: George F. Young, Inc. was tasked with 1)preparing an overall site boundary
& topographic survey of the 37 acre utility plant site from a combination of new field survey
and locations , visual spatial verification of existing site features/ mapping provided by Sarasota
County. This also included establishing state plane coordinates for the site and rotating
/translating the provided existing information for the entire site. The overall data sets were
merged into one file. 2) Field survey the horizontal and vertical positions for the new SUE
utility designation and VVH on existing piping and add to the topographic survey. New onsite
benchmarks were established by differential leveling to the site -from existing offsite
benchmarks- that are based on the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) . The
bench marks were established in accordance with Third Order leveling accuracy. Services also
included electronic utility designation and subsequent vacuum excavation of select onsite and
offsite utility piping to verify the horizontal and vertical positions of this piping to avoid conflicts
with the proposed improvements. This was performed by 2 separate task assignments from the
ENGINEER as the magnitude/scope of the project changed during the work.

Email:[email protected]
Budget: $50,050.50
Start Date: 07/01/14
Completion Date: 09/11/14
Project Description: This project was for the purpose of preparing engineering/construction
plans and related permits to relocate existing residential utility connections (sanitary sewer and
potable water) from rear yard main lines and service connections to the front yard and street
rights-of-way. Due to the location in the rear yards of the sewerage mains, the owner, City of
Venice, is having difficulty accessing the existing lines due to obstructive fences, vegetation and
other improvements in the rear yards of the properties. The owner engaged an Engineer

(ATKINS) to prepare plans & permits to effect this relocation. No reliable existing Record
Drawings exist for these utilities and the Engineer required a current and accurate existing
conditions base map of the area. The service area consisted of a mix of 2 story apartments and
single family residences, approximately 170 parcels. SUBCONSULTANT, George F. Young, Inc.
(GFY) has been asked to prepare a digital CAD base map and aerial of the project area.
George F. Young provided:
1. GFY researched the public records for existing Rights-of-Way created by the subdivision plat,
condominium plats or other public available maps of record related to the subject properties.
2. Existing Conditions (Topographic) Survey: GFY prepared by a combination of aerial and
terrestrial field survey methods an existing conditions base map (topographic survey) of the
project area. The data included "at grade" attributes of visible utilities, edge of pavement, curbing
and sidewalks. The topographic data map was prepared at 1"=20' display scale with sufficient
spot elevations in areas as needed to depict the topography of the ground. The following visible
features were also included within the survey limits: edge of pavement for all paved surfaces
including curbs, curb cuts, parking lots, drives and shoulders, dirt roads and drives, trails,
sidewalks, concrete pads, fences and walls, , signs, utility poles, manholes, CATV and telephone
boxes, storm drainage structures, water valves, flagpoles, mail boxes, meters, fire hydrants and
visible indications of other utility systems, ditches, streams, and other pertinent features.
Terrestrial field survey was used to map visible and accessible below grade attributes of storm
water and sanitary sewer systems (if accessible) and included inverts, pipe sizes and material),
tree species and diameter, and other observed pertinent physical features. GFY also obtained the
ground level finish floor elevations of each of the structures. The base map was prepared as
AutoCAD drawing file and provided to the Engineer. Horizontal & Vertical control points

Budget: $149,341.48
Start Date: 5/7/2012
Completion Date: 9/30/2012
Project Description: George F. Young, Inc. provided survey and mapping services to set,
photograph and establish horizontal and vertical data on 100± monuments for benchmarks.
We also photographed and established horizontal and vertical data on 300± staff gauges,
monitor wells and transects (WAP stakes). The project was in and around Cypress Creek Well
Field in Pasco County. This project required reconnaissance and recovery of monitoring devices
in terrain ranging from upland pine woods to cypress and hardwood swamps. Control

monuments were established in inter-visible pairs at intervals and locations approved by Tampa
Bay Water. Reporting for this project included signed, sealed vertical and horizontal control
sketches for each control monument established, together with photographs documented in a
form acceptable to Southwest Florida Water Management District. The project timeframe
included the summer months of 2012 during which near-record amounts of rain raised water
levels in the entire project area. The fact that a certain number of the monitoring devices are
located on privately owned lands presented a challenge, requiring notification, permission, and
coordination with the various land owners. Our effort increased with these challenges and we
were still able to deliver the project on time and on budget.
