Project sites include concrete and earthfill dams, jetties, levees and floodways. Work under this contract can include, but not be limited to, any or all of the following: Photogrammetry (aerotriangulation, stereo compilation, orthophotography) land surveying to support aerial missions and hydrologic analysis, cartographic mapping, mapping, charting, and boundary surveying. 3. MICROSTATION COMPLIANCE. The selected firm must be able to provide maps and drawings on a computer aided design and drafting (CADD) system in current Microstation format fully compatible to that utilized by Portland District and in full adherence to current Corps CADD standards. Portland District utilizes Bentley Microstation for its design process.

Respondents shall provide relevant demonstrated specialized experience for the last 3 years for each subcriteria. (1) Surveying Services. The Contractor shall be equipped to perform the following survey work: deformation surveys including trilateration and GPS boundary and right-of-way surveys; 2nd and 3rd order horizontal control surveys that meet the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) standards or Federal Geodetic Control Committee (FGCC) standards; 2nd and 3rd order differential leveling that meet NOAA standards or FGCC standards; 4th order horizontal control and differential leveling; bathymetric surveys (across rivers, from jetties, and oceanward from the beach); Preliminary and Location line layout, and As-Built surveys for dams, structures, highways/roads, railroads, revetments, levees, and transmission lines; cross- sectioning and slope work, including river soundings, as part of cross-section surveys; aerial premarks (Targets) for photo control; and topographic mapping. (2) Aerial Photography. Demonstrated ability to deploy to project sites throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington on very short notice to take advantage of short weather windows, especially along the coast(s). The selected firm shall be equipped with 6-inch and 12-inch focal length analog aerial mapping cameras, forward motion compensation, airborne GPS, and aircraft capable of flight at altitudes ranging from 1,000 to 25,000 feet.
