To create asbuilts from dailies will require somebody with a lot of experience and "smarts". A car or truck would be needed for ride-out for accuracy. As-builts are much easier to compile if they done while the work is being done. Is the MSO looking for all new drawn maps?, straight line maps?, or corrections to exisiting prints?. Areial or U.G., or both?.
Even though you would pay for an apartment, most people would still have to pay their "back home" rent if the job is only to last a couple of months.
Maybe $1500.00 a week is too much---depending on what is needed. When I say 1500.00 a week, it would be a salary and the person would work a minimum of 50 hours a week.
If you like to private e-mail me, I might be able to help you out if you could give me more detail. Take care, John
