the Navy's airfields. In an effort
<br />to move away from a paper
<br />based pavement analysis, the
<br />Navy has upgraded to using
<br />a GIS based tool that utilized
<br />GPS and a tablet in the field to
<br />organize and store pavement
<br />distress data geospatlally. With
<br />this upgrade the Navy realized
<br />that their current CAD models
<br />of the airfields lacked the
<br />accuracy to fully take advantage
<br />of this technology, Tetra Tech
<br />was hired to survey and create
<br />highly accurate CAD models of
<br />three airfields, Tetra Tech would
<br />then export those models Into
<br />GIS and create a database
<br />that could be imported Into the
<br />Navy's pavement management
<br />software. Additionally, Tetra Tech
<br />has been tasked with Importing
<br />historic distress data Into these
<br />newly created models to create
<br />a GIS interface that will produce
<br />graphics and reports that NAVFAC
<br />can use as part of their broader
<br />pavement management program.
<br />Mr., Cullison, along with other
<br />Tetra Tech experts, worked to
<br />devise a complete workflow from
<br />the field survey process through
<br />the CAD Import and Iinework
<br />generation into the GIS database
<br />creation that utilized the extents
<br />of the available automated
<br />functions of the Trimble survey
<br />equipment, AutoCAD Civil 3d and
<br />Earl ArcGIS,
<br />Boundary Surveys for NRCS
<br />Easements, (FY16) Natural
<br />Resources Conservation
<br />Services, CA. Survey
<br />Technician. Mr. Cullison was
<br />responsible for providing field
<br />surveying services for the Natural
<br />Resources Conservation Services
<br />(NRCS) Wetland Restoration
<br />and Protection (WRP) Easement
<br />Program. Tetra Tech was
<br />contracted four years in a row by
<br />the NRCS to provide boundary
<br />surveys, legal descriptions and
<br />exhibits, and GIS data for 53
<br />separate sites In 23 California '
<br />counties. Project sites range in
<br />size from 11 to 4,800 acres and
<br />are mostly located in agricultural
<br />crop or grazing land. The survey
<br />work consists of performing field
<br />boundary surveys to define the
<br />parent parcel, and topographic
<br />surveys to define the WRP
<br />easement boundary. Once
<br />the boundaries are defined,
<br />legal descriptions and plats
<br />are produced to accompany
<br />warranty deeds, thus creating the
<br />easements, The final stage of the
<br />project includes monumenting
<br />the angle points of the easement.
<br />Tetra Tech will install easement
<br />witness posts at 500-foot
<br />intervals along the boundary of
<br />the easement, Once these tasks
<br />are completed, Tetra Tech will
<br />file Records of Survey for the
<br />boundaries in the county In which
<br />the WRP easement is located.
<br />Critical to this project Is adherence
<br />to an aggressive schedule of 90
<br />days for completion of each site's
<br />surveytasks.
<br />Map Checking Services, City
<br />of Pismo Beach, Pismo Beach,
<br />CA. SurveyTechniclan,Under
<br />the direction of the Contract
<br />City Surveyor, Mr, Cullison was
<br />responsible for providing map
<br />checking and certification
<br />services to the City of Pismo
<br />Beach, Responsibilities include
<br />plan checking Parcel Maps, Tract
<br />Maps, Certificates of Compliance,
<br />Lot Line Adjustments, Voluntary
<br />Mergers and easement submittals
<br />for the City, and redlining
<br />submitted check prints In order
<br />to address necessary changes
<br />and/or omissions based upon the
<br />requirements of The Subdivision
<br />Map Act and local City Ordinances.
<br />Cadastral Modernization
<br />Program (CMP), NAVFAC
<br />Northwest, Phase iII, Various
<br />States. Survey Technician,
<br />Mr. Cullison was responsible
<br />for surveying and mapping
<br />efforts In support of the Navy's
<br />Cadastral Modernization Program.
<br />Tetra Tech's duties Include
<br />the creation of a database
<br />management system that allows
<br />concurrent management of
<br />over 4,000 cadestral related
<br />discrepancies. A standard
<br />operating procedure guide is
<br />being developed to provide a
<br />repeatable, comprehensive real
<br />estate records management
<br />and mapping process from the
<br />finalization of a real estate action
<br />to the creation end delivery of a
<br />final Real Estate Summary Map
<br />(RESM), This will provide a tool
<br />to support sound management
<br />practices and Informed decision
<br />making. Through the CMP
<br />Program, Tetra Tech has helped
<br />the Navy further develop their
<br />RESM rules, updated hundreds of
<br />GIS parcel Information to update
<br />the Navy's GeoReadiness Explorer
<br />(GRX), an Internet -based decision
<br />support application that Is a key
<br />piece of the Navy's GeoReadiness
<br />Program, and edited numerous
<br />INFADS property record cards,

<br />(PG&E), Paso Robles, CA,
<br />Survey Technician, Mr. Cullison
<br />is responsible for surveying and
<br />mapping services to prepare
<br />base topographic mapping for
<br />approximately 40 miles of possible
<br />future PG&E electric transmission
<br />line alignment to connect to a
<br />proposed PG&E Substation, Tetra
<br />Tech is performing the research
<br />and field work necessary to create
