Which term refers to the collective documents submitted by a Geodetic Engineer (GE) as a result of the survey conducted and other relevant documents as may be required?

• A. Survey Returns
• B. Survey Memo
• C. Field Observations
• D. Technical Report

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is identifying the specific bundle of documents a Geodetic Engineer submits after completing a survey. This collection, known as survey returns, is the official compilation of all materials produced during the survey and any other documents required by the supervising authority. It ensures the work is fully documented and verifiable, including field notes and sketches, computations, the final plan or plat, descriptive materials, and any supporting certificates or forms needed for record-keeping or approval.

A survey memo is typically just a brief communication or summary of results, not the complete set of documents. Field observations refer to the on-site notes and observations gathered in the field, not the entire submission package. A technical report is a formal document detailing methods and outcomes, but it isn’t the standardized bundle of documents that constitutes the survey returns.
