Common use of Standards and Guidelines Clause in Contracts

Standards and Guidelines. All Consultant and sub-consultant surveying, mapping, and land acquisition/release services, including title services, surveys, appraisals, negotiations, acquisition services, maintenance of properties, relocation, and maintenance of project and parcel files, will be according to the Uniform Act, FAA requirements, Wisconsin Statutes, Wisconsin Administrative Codes, and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, Bureau of Aeronautics Surveying and Mapping Guidelines for Airport Land Projects, Appraisal and Appraisal Review Guidelines for Land Acquisition, and other policies and guidelines. The Consultant will provide records management services consistent with the requirements of the Bureau, and will deliver project documents and files in a manner that supports project needs and long term airport land records management. Documents shall be managed in a manner that supports BOA review and approval, version control, and timely distribution of correct final versions to sub-consultants for their use on the project. Airport parcels are defined by common ownership, not by tax parcel descriptions. A parcel includes not only a single tract of land embraced within a particular conveyance document, but all contiguous tracts in common ownership. For example, contiguous lots in a platted subdivision, in common ownership, constitute a single parcel. Future property acquisitions should be identified by general area only and should not be assigned parcel numbers in advance of the acquisition project. Parcel numbers used for airport land acquisition are managed by the Bureau. Consultants should check with the Bureau as early as possible to obtain parcel numbers used for project maps, property descriptions and other documents. Deeds and surveys cannot be completed and should not be signed or recorded without verifying parcel numbers.
