- Description
- The U. S. Geological Survey, Central Region, Geographic Information Office, National Spatial Data Infrastructure, Missouri Office, located at 1400 Independence Road, Rolla, MO 65401 (USGS) has a requirement to acquire Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) elevation data from Boone County, Missouri, through a non-competitive procurement. Data will include an area of approximately 1,105 square miles covering the 7.5-minute quadrangles for Boone County and extending south and west to cover both sides of the Missouri River bordering Boone County. This LiDAR data shall be acquired during the leaf-off season which ends early March. The USGS has an opportunity to obtain all of the data at approximately 21% of the cost from Boone County as the data is being acquired through a pooling of funding sources. Data acquired will have the following characteristics: 1) 1.4-meter ground sample distance; 2) leaf-off, normal-water acquisition; 3) hydrographic and planimetric data (roads, railroads, retaining walls, and bridges) included in data model; 4) hydo enforcement for any data collected outside Boone County; 5) accuracy of 1-meter RMSE and 18-cm VRMSE; 6) datum of NAD 83; 7) Missouri State Plane, Central Zone, coordinate system; 8) tile size of 2,500 by 2,500 feet or as mutually agreed; and 9) FGDC compliant metadata. Deliverables will include: one complete set of bare-earth processed LiDAR data in LAS format; one set of post processed LiDAR data in LAS format with returns classified as ground and above ground; hydrologic and planimetric linework; tile index file in ESRI shapefile, or as mutually agreed; one-meter cell size ESRI format DEM built from the bare earth LAS model, if possible; raw data point cloud information. All deliverables shall be made to the USGS no later than January 31, 2010. All data and deliverables shall be free from restriction regarding use and distribution. All acquired data may be used in The National Map. Based on the information available, and in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) and as implements by FAR 6.302-1(b)(1)(i), the USGS considers this requirement to be a sole source to the county of Boone County, Missouri with offices located at 801 E. Walnut, Room 123, Columbia, MO 65201-4890. However, should additional sources be identified, they will be considered. Concerns that believe they can furnish the required data and deliverables, or their functional equivalent (based upon the criteria specified above), and provide considerable cost sharing, are invited to submit an affirmative response to the USGS Contracting Officer, P O Box 25046, MS 205, Denver Federal Center, Denver CO 80225-0046, Attention: Cheryl T. Flanagan, Contract Specialist, no later than February 9, 2009 at 4 p.m., Mountain Time. All responses shall include literature, brochures, and other materials that respond to the requirements stated herein. This information will be evaluated and used to determine if competitive opportunities exist. Since no solicitation document exists, requests for this document without accompanying information will be considered non-responsive to this request and will not be considered further. This notice may represent the Government's only official notice of this procurement.
