Detailed Scope of Work
A. Updating Cadastral Map through Re-survey (ground survey by DGPS only), and
Preparing a Base Map
1. Updating Cadastral Map through Re-survey (ground survey by DGPS only)
As it is widely recognized, the present land records especially the cadastral maps suffer from
several shortcomings. The original survey which was done manually with the survey
techniques available at that time inherently had its limitations. The error margins were large
compared to what are acceptable as on today. Besides the survey carried out measurement
of individual parcel under single ownership, and these different drawings/sketches were
than mosaiced. The mosaicing done to generate the village maps was not perfect due to the
margins of measurement errors.
Accurate and updated land records are a prerequisite for urban planning component for
socio-economic development. Hence BHADA intends to carry out a re-survey and update
the land records along with digitization of cadastral maps. This re-survey is required to
enable a seamless integration of cadastral map for the BHADA jurisdiction.
The land record system primarily has two set of records- textual and spatial. The key textual
records are Form no. 7/12, and Form no. 6, while the key spatial records are Cadastral Maps
and Tippans. The Consultant, with support from BHADA, shall collect the textual records of
project area from the concerned authority. Though BHADA shall provide the cadastral map
for the project area, the consultant may require collecting spatial records form the
concerned authority as and if required.
The re-survey is to be conducted across the area under BHADA. However, it shall not include
Gamtal Areas, TP Scheme areas (if any), Forest area, Defence area, and only boundary of
these shall be surveyed and marked.
The consultant shall adopt purely the ground survey methodology, using DGPS equipments,
for the resurvey process. The activities to be performed include all the necessary tasks to
conduct the resurvey process, create spatial data fabric, and collate relevant textual
information to generate the required outputs, preparing updated cadastral maps and
getting authorization for the updated cadastral maps from DILR/CSS or such other
concerned authority. All the activities shall be carried out in consultation with BHADA,
DILR/CSS and other concerned authorities.
The activities suggested to be carried out as part of the re-survey and updating land records
shall consist of the following components:

Procuring Survey of India (SOI) Topographic sheets
P a g e 22
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP):


Establish Ground Control Points across the Project Area

Mark corrections in cadastral map reflecting the changes (e.g. sub-division,
amalgamation) due to KJP/ Durusti Patrak and Form 7/12, in consultation with
BHADA and other concerned authorities

Carry out ground survey, and map the identified boundary vertices using DGPS
equipments only

Generate Land Parcel Maps in an appropriate scale

Assist Government officials of DILR/CSS and BHADA in processing and reviewing the
Land Parcel Maps including visiting the concerned land parcels for verification, as
and if required

Modify and finalize the Land Parcel Maps and other relevant records as per the
directions/decision of Govt. representative

Update and finalize cadastral maps in consultation with BHADA and other concerned
authorities

Obtain authorization for the updated cadastral maps from DILR/CSS or such
concerned authority (The charges payable to such concerned authority for
authorization of updated land records shall be paid by BHADA)
Note: The activities listed above are indicative to present an overview of this key task,
and shall not be considered as exhaustive or limiting in any manner. The selected
consultant shall finalise the activities and work plan by conducting meetings/discussions
with BHADA, DILR/CSS and as directed and approved by BHADA, DILR/CSS.
2. Preparing Base Map based on Updated Cadastral Map

other required and relevant documents/maps, and ground survey using DGPS and ETS
instruments.

Carry out ground survey in co-ordination with the Ground Control Points established
for updating cadastral maps, by using DGPS and ETS

Identify and collect other relevant maps, in consultation with the Authority, from
concerned agencies, geo-reference it (based on Ground Control Points and outcome
of DGPS ground survey), with the authorized Updated Cadastral Maps

Survey, mark and digitize physical and natural features that are not captured during
ground survey for updating cadastral maps. These features shall mainly include road
network, built-up, actual status of natural features, etc.

B. Preparing Existing Land Use Map and assessments of existing land use and land
development
1. Existing Land Use Survey and Preparing Existing Land Use Map
Existing land use map will be prepared based on interpretations from Satellite Images,
primary field survey, and data/maps from relevant sources. The satellite images shall be
considered as only an aid in identifying the natural features, physical features, built-up,
landmarks for an efficient field survey. The satellite images shall not be used for identifying
the land use. The identification of existing use for lands and buildings shall be based on a
primary field survey carried out by field survey teams across the jurisdiction of the
Authority. Based on primary survey, all the land and built-up shall be classified into various
categories as per its present use and assigned the respective use for preparing existing land
use map. The classifications of land uses, building uses and the manner of interpretation of
uses during field visits have to be developed by the Consultants in consultation with the
Authority. The existing land use of the planning area shall be transferred on the Base Map in
GIS to prepare Existing Land Use Map.
In addition heritage buildings and precincts, CRZ (if applicable), forest land, slums,
government and semi Government lands, railway lands, lands under the ownership/ control
