Design and Survey

The Design and Survey team are a technical support group

that gathers civil engineering data to present to Engineers and Staff to

determine solutions, costs, and plans for multiple projects for design and

development.

Information presented by our staff is in a graphical

format; drawings, charts, and tables and by utilizing digital geographical data

or aerial photography.

Design and Survey also manages

information about past projects (As-Built Plans), which includes capital

projects and subdivision development. The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Division

uses this data to update the Interactive Norman Map.

                                         

Participation Programs

Citywide Sidewalk Reconstruction

Property owners may apply to receive

financial support to repair damaged sidewalk adjacent to their property. These

funds can also be used to construct a new sidewalk along an entire city block

if 80% of the property owners agree to pay 50% of the construction costs. (Sidewalk Program Application)

Core Area Driveway Repair

This program encourages property

owners to upgrade gravel and deteriorated residential driveways with concrete

in the core area. Property owner are reimbursed for approved work done

by their hired contractor to improve their driveway approach and parking pad.

Participation Program applications are

accepted year round by mail, email, or fax; and available funding is limited to

the current fiscal year budget. (Driveway Application)

 

Design Projects

Sidewalk Program for Schools and Arterials

This project will construct sidewalks in elementary schools districts that have

no sidewalks and along arterial roads with heavy pedestrian traffic that currently

have no sidewalks. Locations are rated with established criteria to determine project

priority.

Downtown Area Sidewalks and Curbs

This project repairs deteriorated sidewalks and curbs in the downtown area. Sites

will be chosen by city staff based on recommendations from the Downtown Merchants

Association.

Sidewalk Accessibility

This annual program is to provide wheelchair ramps where none exist and rebuild

existing ramps that do not comply with the American with Disabilities Act. 

With input from interested citizens and neighborhood groups, City Staff

and City Council select the proposed construction sites.  

   

Bench Marks

This term used in surveying denotes a monument to mark a reference location and

elevation of a point ensuring that it can be used in the future.  These marks

set by licensed registered surveyors help with construction and drainage projects both

public and private. The City of Norman has records of bench marks set by state agencies

and private firms.

911 Addressing

An essential process for health and safety of citizens is the addressing of development
