- Contractor performance data sheet to be returned with quote. LiDAR Strip Samples and table with specifications for Kenai Peninsual LiDAR data reacquisition flight. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number AG-0120-S-09-0055 and this solicitation is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-32. This is not a small business set-aside. The associated NAICS code is 541370 and small business size standard is $4.5 million. The following are this solicitation’s list of contract line item number(s) and items, quantities and units of measure: 001 – continuous strips of airborne LiDAR data Description of requirements for the items to be acquired: The purpose of the project is to re-acquire controlled airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data over a series of 121 forest inventory plots located on the western Kenai Peninsula. The plots are roughly 150 meters in diameter each. In addition to the 121 plots, LiDAR data will be collected over existing LiDAR data strips spaced approximately 9-km apart., oriented North-South (see attached detail). The desire is for continuous strips of LiDAR data. The priorities for LiDAR data acquisition are: 1) coverage over 121 previously flown FIA plots, 2) an effort to acquire complete (minimum of 95%) coverage over previous LIDAR strips, and 3) continuous strips (filling the gaps in the original data strips). Specifications for the LiDAR acquisition are provided in table 1 in the attached document. Ideally, LiDAR will be collected in leaf-off, but snow-free conditions in the fall of 2009, with collection of snow-free data over existing LiDAR data being the highest priority. The date for delivery is 21 business days after collection of LiDAR data. Actual date of collection is based on phenology (foliage condition) and weather which cannot be controlled. The intention is for the data to be collected in the fall of 2009, however, it is possible that the data may have to be collected in the Spring of 2010. Shipping terms are FOB Origin.
