$4.)$ Court case # $2013-4567-007$ is a boundary dispute regarding the reported area of a client's parcel. During the early court proceedings, Acme Sinister Surveying, Inc. surveyors: Ben Dover, Will Fleesum and Hugh Skrooum emphatically testified that their surveys and acreage determinations are $$always perfect$$ and $100\%$ reliable. The trial judge called for a second opinion. Acme submitted the following from their field notes and final estimates to you $($Intergalactic Angelic Surveys, Inc.$).$There were no supporting calcs or diagrams. They are not returning calls from you or your boss.

Read the question carefully and answer as required. Use only the accompanying hardcopy SURV$6010-$Step Traverse $($hard copy$)$ worksheet or an equivalent SURV$60$ formatted MS Excel worksheet, checked and developed from instructor distributed samples. LEGIBLY & NEATLY SHOW ALL WORK FOR FULL CREDIT!$$ Carry all calculations on calculators $$all the way out$$ and round all interim computations to $4$ DECIMAL PLACES. Round all coordinates and distances to $3$ DECIMAL PLACES and acreage estimates to $2$ DECIMAL PLACES.

$$

GIVEN: $$A five$-$sided closed boundary traverse notes report the following single measurements for interior angles and distances measured as raw field data with a TechLo SUX $1000,3-$second rated instrument. Distance units $=$ US survey feet.

$$

A $=9116\text{'}10"$

B $=9425\text{'}30"$

C $=10950\text{'}20"$

D $=10223\text{'}50"$

E $=14204\text{'}00"$

AB $=554\mathrm{.}093\text{'}$

BC $=425\mathrm{.}318\text{'}$

CD $=426\mathrm{.}059\text{'}$

DE $=345\mathrm{.}281\text{'}$

EA $=322\mathrm{.}212\text{'}$

The Acme surveyors took a compass reading on the second traverse course. The bearing from $"$B$"$ to $"$C$"$ is S $311\text{'}00"$ E$.$ Coordinates of $"$C$"=$ N $5000\mathrm{.}000,$ E $10000\mathrm{.}000.$ Acme surveyors estimated acreage to be $6\mathrm{.}95$ acres more or less @ $20$ PPM LinMiscl.$$

$$

SOLVE: $$per SURV$60$ Traverse Computation and Field Note Protocol using student AND Federal misclosure standards $($see tables below$).(50$ points total$)$

$$

Students will compute and report:

$$

$$ the preliminary balanced interior angles $($if necessary$),(5$ pts$)$

$$ compass corrected preliminary azimuths AND corresponding forward bearings, $(10$ pts$)$

$$ corrected final coordinates and traverse area $(10$ pts$)$

$$ linear misclosure, RAR, PPM $(3$ pts$)$

$$ adjusted distances, azimuths, and bearings for each course $(15$ pts$)$

$$ summarize the survey data and how they relate to SURV$60$ & FGDC traverse specs? $(7$ pts$)$

$$

Suggestion: $$Start the traverse table w$/$ Pt$."$B$"$ or Pt $$C$,$ and proceeding alphabetically; compute the corrected final coordinates, adjusted azimuths & bearings for each course. This is a boundary survey, what, if anything beyond the routine, might you additionally consider and include before sending the finished work to your supervisor? Be specific and quantitative.
