PROJECT INFORMATION: Work will include development of Geo-Spatial data supporting the Omaha District and its customers. The work will generally require a programmatic solution for acquisition, processing, and development of Geo-Spatial information using v arious data acquisition, data processing and data output processes. Acquisition will be performed utilizing fixed and/or rotary wing airframes as well as other airborne and/or spaceborne data acquisition platforms and/or data providers. The contract will require acquisition of data across the electromagnetic spectrum including but not limited to SONAR, LiDAR, Infared, RADAR, and Multi-Spectral/Hyper-spectral wavelengths/frequencies. Data processing requirements will provide digital data filtering, multib and/multifrequency digital image and digital signal processing and data integration as well as the appropriate ground truthing capability required to support specific acquisition platforms. General application areas for data acquisition, processing and ou tput include but are not limited to: 3-D topographic and hydrographic mapping, OE surface and subsurface detection and identification, habitat and wetlands delineation, flood plain mapping, biomass detection and classification, infrastructure delineation a nd mapping, and temporal analysis (geomorphology). The data will be provided in support of various geo-spatial data systems (GIS, image processing, and CADD) requiring delivery in various formats. Work will be primarily located within the geographic boun daries of the Northwestern Division, (encompassing the states of Montana, Minnesota, Wyoming, Wisconsin, Colorado, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Kansas, Missouri and pa rts of Nevada and Utah) but may be anywhere in the United States, subject to higher headquarters approval.

Drawing preparation format should be f ully compatible with Bentley Microstation SE, or AutoCADD version 14 (as a minimum). SELECTION CRITERIA: Criteria for selection, listed in order of importance are: (a) Recent experience and technical competence of the firm (including all sub-consultants) in: (1) 3-D data collection for Intergraph DTM to produce digital geo-spatial databases including digital orthophotography, photogrammetric 3-D data collection and CADD system 3-D design files. (2) Digital surface model development using TIN/DTM technology and compilation. (3) Abstracting (courthouse research), subdivision, boundary surveying, and required filings for the States in the Omaha District.
