PROJECT INFORMATION: The Omaha District Survey, Mapping, & GIS section is seeking an indefinite delivery type contract for boundary surveying within its civil and military boundaries of responsibility.

Interested firms must employ registered land surveyors to supervise work and file plats of record. Firms need not have surveyors licensed in all states, but must indicate methods of obtaining services of a licensed surveyor to perform work in all states of concern. Plats will be required to be prepared in Intergraph CADD format and electronic Intergraph CADD files will be deliverables on all delivery orders.
