City survey requirements can be found in the City’s General Engineering Standards (GES), Article 8. The City has developed a survey coordinate system (City of Prescott Coordinate System (COPCS)) to better facilitate the incorporation of survey and engineering data into the City’s Geographic Information System (GIS). Projects submitted to the City for review MUST be referenced to the COPCS (General Engineering Standards (GES), Article 8.2.2.A.).
