LOCATION OF WORK ? The Galveston District covers an area averaging 100 miles in width along the Texas coast, extending from approximately 15 miles east of the Texas?Louisiana state line south to the Rio Grande. Field conditions include terrain ranging from dry land to soft marshlands, including swamps and dredged material placement areas, which may be covered by shallow water. Locations will also include shallow draft inland waterways and channels, rivers, lakes, bays, streams, and similar bodies of water as well as waters offshore from the States of Texas and Louisiana. TECHNICAL CRITERIA AND STANDARDS CADD FILES ?????? Files will be digital and capable of being loaded directly to the Galveston District??????s Microstation CADD system. Design files will not be submitted in a format other than Microstation DGN. No conversions from AutoCAD.dwg and/or .dx f files will be accepted. The files shall be delivered in DOS/WINDOWS 8.3 format on CD-ROM (eg. xxxxx.dgn). DATUM - All vertical control established shall be tied to North American Vertical Datum (NAVD) of 1988, as established by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS. All horizontal control shall be referenced to the North American Datum 1983 and shall be tied to the Texas State Plane Coordinate System, South Central or South Zone. All horizontal control established shall be grid coordinates and tied to existing NGS and/or Corps of Engineers (COE) control networks. COMMUNICATIONS - If the Architect-Engineer has the capability to establish communication links, such as E-MAIL, Internet, etc. WORK TO BE PERFORMED BOUNDARY AND CADASTRAL SURVEYS will be conducted for the purpose of locating, relocating and/or marking Government boundaries, and preparing or filing/recording certified drawings, computations, deeds and related descriptive data in accordance with local, state and federal requirements, regulations and laws. TOPOGRAPHIC MAPPING AND ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTION SURVEYS include field acquisition and office data reduction of detailed topographic and planimetric feature data for use in: engineering site planning; cost estimating; design; construction layout and alignm ent of roads, channels, buildings and other structures; master planning; and recording as?built conditions. Field data acquisition includes both conventional and electronic methods, such as, electronic total station, global positioning system (GPS), etc. GEODETIC CONTROL SURVEYS include horizontal and vertical control surveys for the precise location of primary reference points from which engineering, design and construction control may be extended. Precise surveys include third order or higher horizontal and vertical control, geodetic astronomy, gravity surveys, magnetic surveys and structural deformation surveys and studies. These services shall include using conventional, electronic, inertial, GPS and other traditional precise survey methods. HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEYS include subsurface surveys of offshore waters, shallow and deep draft inland waterways and channels, coastal areas, inland lakes, rivers and other similar bodies of water for navigation, dredging, flood control, beach nourishment, etc. These services shall utilize automated data acquisition methods, and subsequent office reduction processes to obtain final maps, drawings or charts, and computing dredging quantities. These services may also involve subsurface and over bank surveys of l evees, breakwaters, canals, embankments, groins and other similar structures. All work shall be performed to COE specifications identified herein and in each specific Task Order and will be provided in COE specified formats. Task Orders issued under this c ontract will consist the tasks listed below, or a combination thereof: Acquiring shallow water multibeam sounding data, side scan sonar data vertical beam echosounder data, determining positions and least depths on hazards to navigation, installing, operat ing, and removing water level (tide) stations, acquiring related supporting data (e.g. water level correctors, velocity of sound in the water column, vessel motion correctors and bottom sediment samples, etc), processing the data, including tidal tabulatio n, computation of tidal datums, tidal zoning determination, applying water level, vessel motion, and velocity of sound correctors to determine the true depths, correlating sonar targets, and compiling reports, final smooth sheets, and digital data, perform ing quality control during data acquisition and processing, delivery of the data, reports, and plotted sheets to COE for archival. CAPABILITY CRITERIA: The AE must be able to provide adequate surveying vessel(s) and equipment and sufficient technical, supervisory, and administrative personnel to ensure expeditious prosecution of work assignments.
