I was tying into control from a previous survey which was supposedly done in NAD83 and the coordinates I was given looked like SPCS but when I staked out to the control there was about an 8.5?? shift between the two surveys. Only explanation I can think of is the previous job was started on an assumed point on a SPCS job. Anyone else run into anything like this?

Regularly. 8.5 feet sounds to me like the job is based on an autonomously positioned GPS base station.

Also two other possibilities
1 Scaling to ground from 0,0 origin
2 international feet units

Another possibility is using ITRF rather than NAD83 for the geodetic basis. Seen that happen quite a few times.
