- Description
- Synopsis This Sources Sought is for information and planning purposes only; it is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. EPA Region 1, Boston MA has a requirement to interpret and create map(s) of sea bottom from side scan images collected in 2006 and saved as a series of.xtf format files. The system used to create the images is a Klein 3000 Dual Frequency Digital Side Scan System. The side scan sonar system was used to acquire images to determine the following: 1)Locate two vessels sunk within the Portland Dredged Material Disposal Site (PDS) and vicinity. 2)Characterize the geotechnical properties of the surface sediments at the three PDS reference areas, and 3)Characterize the geotechnical properties of the surface sediments at the PDS. During real time imaging, and in playback, targets were identified at the PDS. These targets include probable shipwrecks, geological features and man made features such as trawl marks and dredged material disposal mounds. All side scan images were saved as a series of.xtf format files, and viewed using SonarPro, Klein’s data recording, playing and viewing software compatible with the Klein 3000. All.xtf files with navigational information, including playback, will be provided by EPA Region 1 on an external hard drive. Purpose The information produced by this contract will by used to determine the locations and spatial extent of shipwrecks in the Portland Dredged Material Disposal Site (PDS). Requirements We seek a contractor who can: •Interpret the images, with a certain level of confidence, by classifying targets up to six categories, including possible shipwrecks, construction debris, dredged material, geological features. •Provide a rationale for the level of confidence in identification of targets. •Provide locations of all targets, and an estimate of the error for the targets. •Create one geo-referenced mosaic of the sea bottom that is compatible with ArcMap 9.x. Deliverables •A table listing the presumed identification, classification, and location of each target, cross linked to images of each target; •Geo-referenced mosaics of three areas in format compatible with ArcMap 9, and in color hard copy. •Report describing the results and methods used for analysis, and the rationale and confidence level in identifying and locating targets; •One meeting with EPA scientists in New England to discuss preliminary or final results; and •All deliverables to be provided in hard copy and electronically (on DVD or CD) for both draft and final submittals. Period of Performance Draft deliverables to be submitted within four weeks of contract award. Final deliverables to be submitted within 21 days of receipt of comments from the Government. The NAICS Code for this requirement is 541360 and the Size Standard is $4.5 million. Please notify the identified Point of Contact if you can provide the services requested in this Souces Sought Posting.
