Surveying and Mapping of Fault Trace

The contract requires precise topographic and geodetic surveys to accurately map the location of a fault trace in Los Gatos, California, with the primary goal of supporting structural setback recommendations. This work is essential for ensuring compliance with safety standards and land-use planning by providing authoritative data on seismic hazards. The surveys must employ advanced techniques to capture detailed geomorphic and spatial information, enabling engineers and planners to establish safe distances between proposed structures and active fault lines. The contract is classified under NAICS code 541370, indicating it falls within the category of surveying and mapping services, and is structured as a subcontract. It was posted on May 26, 2026, and is managed by Santa Clara County, with the performance location finalized at Zip Code 95033 in Los Gatos. Although no solicitation number or point of contact is provided, the project is linked to a public record through the CEQA Net portal, suggesting its alignment with environmental review and regulatory requirements under California law. The scope demands technical accuracy and adherence to geospatial standards to ensure the reliability of the data used for public safety decisions.
