Project Information: The information contained herein describes the specifications for an aerial imaging rover system incorporating a fully integrated high accuracy Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)(Global Positioning System (GPS) & GLONASS) position & heading with real time kinematic (RTK) corrections. The system will be light weight, highly portable and will be used to acquire 3D mapping/photogrammetric data of the topography of urban developments, industrial areas, including overhead utility cables, bridges, levees, dams, harbors, beaches, rivers and canals, and more. The equipment will be used in coastal salt air environments and must be a sealed weatherproof unit. The unit must be externally corrosion resistant and easy to clean without the use of chemicals and sealing compounds. The aerial imaging rover unit will also require the use of a National quote mark Virtual Reference Station quote mark (VRS) network with a 12 month subscription for the Base Year. The Contractor will provide all the necessary training that will cover all aspects of setup and calibration of the unit for use. The training will also cover in-depth pre-survey setup of projects and post processing using the acquisition software. Photogrammetry surveys will be covered in the training. The final training product will be a clean photogrammetry model of the project survey area that can be used in a Computer-aided design (CAD)/Building Information Modeling (BIM)/Geographic Information System (GIS) software environment. Training should be conducted on-site for a minimum of 10 students. The base performance period for this contract will be the 12 month period following the delivery of all required equipment. The performance period for Opt 1 coincides with the base year. The 12 month performance period for Opt 2 will begin at the conclusion of the base year. The 12 month performance period for Opt 3 will begin at the conclusion of Opt 2. The 12 month performance period for Opt 4 will begin at the conclusion of Opt 3.
