- Description
- The Bioacoustical Wildlife Monitoring Project for the San Dimas Technology and Development Center is located in Los Angeles County, California. The work will be performed at the Contractor/Vendor's place of business. The project consists of developing methods, technology, and software that would allow remote sensing of forest wildlife (especially birds) by the distinctive sounds that they produce. Specifically, the USFS is interested in information in the following 3 areas: 1) equipment that is capable of recording and storing digital sounds produced by wildlife in the field under a variety of weather and field conditions over a period of weeks, 2) technology and methods to allow for two-way wireless communication between the recorder in the field and a remote (office) location, and technology and methods to allow for the archival recordings from the field or a summary of the recorded sounds to be periodically (at least daily) relayed to a remote (office) location, and 3) software to automatically process the digitally recorded sounds produced by forest wildlife so that a reasonably accurate census of wildlife would be obtained. The purpose of this request is to solicit information from and gauge the interest of parties that might be interested in identifying technology that could perform the following 3 tasks in a cost-effective, field-practical, and reasonably accurate manner. Techniques, protocols and sampling design guidelines for using the equipment or technology are not desired. NAICS code: 541690 Size Standard $ 6.0 million. The Request for Information is due by noon November 18, 2005. Please check this site for the Statement of Need and additional information.
