- All survey work shall be accomplished in accordance with the Florida Minimum
Technical Standards (MTS) as set forth in Chapter 5J-17 Florida Administrative Code, and the
Brevard County Public Works Finance & Contracts Administration requirements set forth herein.
The County survey requirements are to augment the Florida MTS standards, and in all situations
where a conflict arises between the two, the County survey requirements shall yield to the
Florida MTS standards.
Modifications to the County’s survey requirements set forth herein shall be at the discretion of
the Public Works Director and/or the County Surveyor. It is suggested that the Consultant and/or
the Consultant’s surveyor contact the County Survey & Mapping division to check for any updates
to the survey requirements.

All survey data shown on the map shall be legible, complete and sufficient to
positively describe the location of the Right of Way line(s), deed line(s), section
line(s), baselines, and any other survey/regulatory lines pertinent to the project.
The text size and drawing scale shall be sufficient to show all survey data.
The text height shall be a minimum of (Leroy) L80.
Neatness and clarity is mandatory. Details are to be utilized when clarity is needed.
All survey monumentation along the right of way/deed/plat lines shall be described
with a location value, i.e. station & offsets, coordinates, cardinal directions, and
bearing & distance.
Various AutoCAD line types shall be utilized to distinguish features. The line type
for the Right of Way line shall be the standard AutoCAD “phantom” line type and
shall be labeled and distinguished from all other lines. The line type for acquisition
boundary lines shall be a continuous line. Lot/deed lines that are not part of the fee
simple acquisition may be a dash line type.
Adjoining deed/plat lines shall be shown for graphic purposes, and labeled
accordingly. All adjoining parcels shall be labeled with owner name, parcel ID#, and
recording document.
Match line shall be labeled with stations or alpha designations.
Sufficient dimensions shall be provided from the baseline to existing features, i.e.
pavement, fence lines, sidewalks, etc. . . . Dimensions may be in the form of station
and offsets, coordinate values, and direct dimensions with leaders. Special
attention shall be paid to features that are near or on the right of way/property
line.
All curve data (including chord bearings and chord distance and/or radial bearing)
shall be labeled along a curvilinear right of way lines and/or baselines.
A key/index map is required when multiple sheets are used.
All survey control points must be identified with size, type of material, stamping
and location (i.e., station/offset, coordinates, bearings and distance).
The bearing basis shall be so labeled (i.e., assumed, grid, true north) and referenced
to a well monumented line. A random baseline set by the surveyor is not to be
considered a well monumented line.

The survey data shown on the survey map should be so complete that the user does
not have to rely on a digital file to extract pertinent survey data. All easements
known or provided to the surveyor shall be shown on the survey.
All surveys shall be tied to the Florida State Plane Coordinate System, East zone
NAD83/adjustment date. The primary and secondary GPS station utilized shall be
provided on the survey.
VERTICAL CONTROL When preparing a topographic survey, all vertical control
shall be established in accordance with the Brevard County Department of
Surveying and Mapping Vertical Control Manual. Said manual is provided in a PDF
format on the County’s website. Temporary construction benchmarks shall be
established at approximately 500 ft. intervals, but no more than 800 ft. A minimum
of two
permanent benchmarks shall be set within the project limits. The
benchmarks shall be shown on the survey map with a location value. The vertical
datum shall be based on NAVD 1988, unless otherwise requested by the Public
Works Director.
BASELINE – When a baseline is utilized, the surveyor shall establish and monument
the survey baseline with intervisable control points not greater than 1000 feet apart
and at all PC’s, PT’s, PRC’s, PCC’s. and P.I.’s. The baseline shall be tied to the right of
way line and or deed line. Show stations along the baseline at the begin, end,
change in direction, and all centerline points of intersection. If the traffic volume is
heavy, the baseline of survey should be offset from the centerline of pavement a
safe distance. Bearings and stationing shall be shown on all baseline changes in
direction. Where secondary baselines are established from the primary, an
equation station shall be provided. When random survey control points are set
instead of monumenting the baseline, all pertinent location data shall be provided.
BASELINE/SURVEY REFERENCE POINTS References for the baseline/survey control
points shall be set and described. The reference points shall be located outside
existing or proposed right of way. The reference points shall be shown on the
survey map graphically or in tabular form. Reference points shown in tabular form
shall be labeled with coordinates and/or station offset and description.

C. MAINTENANCE MAPS
All survey work shall be accomplished in accordance with
the Florida Statute, Chapter 95, Subsection 95.361, and the Florida Minimum Technical
Standards, Chapter 5J-17, the Brevard County Public Works Land Acquisition Maintenance Map
Administrative Process, and the Brevard County Public Works Finance and Contracts
Administration requirements set forth herein.
All Right of Way and/or deed line(s) shall be labeled with bearings, curve
data (including chord distance and chord bearings). All survey
monumentation held to establish the Right of Way and/or deed line(s) shall
be shown with a station/offset, or coordinate value, or bearing/distance.
The linear relationship between the baseline and the Right of Way (and/or
deed line(s)) shall be shown. All record documentation supporting and/or
establishing the Right of Way lines(s) and or deed line(s) shall be shown e.g.,
(deed, plat). All gaps and overlaps shall be shown and labeled. A surveyor’s
report shall be included on the survey
with detailed explanation regarding
the gaps/overlaps.
The Right of Way line type shall be a standard ACAD “phantom” line type
and shall be distinguished from all other survey lines.

The maintenance right of way limits shall be approved by the Transportation
Engineer Director and/or the County Surveyor prior to the commencement
of the map preparation.
The maintenance map shall be prepared on a standard 24” x 36” road plat
book border. The standard road plat book drawing file can be downloaded
from the Brevard County website.
