    The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) outlines land survey specifications for its easement programs. The primary goal is to ensure that professional surveys of easement boundaries, ingress and egress routes, and related areas are conducted accurately and in compliance with state and federal standards. Surveyors must be licensed in their respective states and follow stringent quality and reporting practices. Key requirements include pre-survey notifications to landowners and NRCS representatives, clear marking of survey areas, and documentation of boundary lines with visible monuments. The surveyor must produce various deliverables, including survey plats, legal descriptions, and electronic files of the survey data. The document emphasizes ensuring public access and protecting the easement area from encroachments. The regulations also stress the importance of confidentiality, civil rights compliance, and adequate equipment maintenance throughout the surveying process.

The process consists of two phases: Phase I involves preliminary survey submissions and assessments, where NRCS decides on proceeding or addressing any issues. Phase II includes the finalization of monuments and boundary marking as needed. Quality standards dictate that survey work aligns with recognized practices and state regulations. Surveyors are responsible for equipping their team, adhering to specifications, and conducting thorough pre-survey consultations with the NRCS and landowners. Moreover, comprehensive documentation, including survey plats, legal descriptions, and electronic data, is required as deliverables. The document emphasizes conflict-of-interest regulations to maintain integrity in the surveying process and outlines nondisclosure obligations regarding sensitive information.

The questionnaire includes definitions of performance ratings from "Exceptional" to "Unsatisfactory," which will inform the overall assessment of the contractor's capability and reliability.
