III. PROJECT INFORMATION Projects under this contract will require the following data acquisition techniques, data processing methods and fall within the functional areas described below. Typical work to be performed under this contract will be to execute high resolution topographic and bathymetric surveys using a range of remote sensing technologies. Survey methodologies may include high resolution photogrammetric elevation mapping, multi-band aerial imagery acquisition, LiDAR elevation mapping and surface classification, and hydrographic survey elevation mapping, to include deep water and shallow draft data acquisition. Associated land based surveying may be required to supplement the remote sensing derived survey data or to provide ground control points for aerial surveys, GPS control for hydrographic surveys and cross-sectional data acquisition on shallow water and river banks. Data processing and integration of multiple survey types to produce integrated topographic/bathymetric datasets is probable. It is expected that survey work performed under this contract will include a wide-variety of infrastructure and other project elements that are relevant to the USACE mission. The project types and locations typically will include the following: • Coastal structures, such as jetties, breakwaters and the surrounding areas, both above and below water surface. • Dynamic river systems of varying river channel patterns and sizes. • Dams (concrete and earthen) and associated features above and below water surface. • Upland and in-water dredged materials disposal sites and adjacent areas. • Ecosystem restoration project locations, both pre and post construction activities. • Ecological and biological monitoring of various plant and animal species in varying locals.
