- Description
- The U.S. Geological Survey, National Geospatial Programs Office has a requirement for high resolution orthophotography and LiDAR in eastern Nebraska. The coverage area for the high resolution orthophotography will be Omaha, Council Bluffs, Lincoln, and surrounding areas in eastern Nebraska, an area of approximately 4,511 square miles. The USGS has the opportunity to obtain all this orthophotography from the Omaha-Council Bluffs Metro Planning Agency at 19% of the cost of the entire project because other agencies and local governments are contributing to this project. The orthophotography data shall be collected to the following specifications: 1) This project will be collected with Leica ADS digital sensors 2) Flight is supported with differentially corrected Airborne GPS (ABGPS) and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) data 3) Capture at an altitude sufficient to support a pixel size less than or equal to the desired orthophoto pixel resolution 4) No pan-sharpening will be performed on the imagery 5) 100% forward overlap in the direction of flight 6) 30% side lap between adjacent flight lines 7) 80% side lap in areas with concentrations of tall buildings (i.e. downtown). The coverage area for the LiDAR data will be Omaha, Council Bluffs, Lincoln, and surrounding areas in eastern Nebraska, an area of approximately 1,991 square miles. The USGS has the opportunity to obtain all this LiDAR data from the Omaha-Council Bluffs Metro Planning Agency at 44% of the cost of the entire project because other agencies and local governments are contributing to this project. The LiDAR data shall be collected to the following specifications: 1) The contractor shall utilize an ALS 50 Phase II LiDAR sensor to collect the LiDAR data for the areas specified 2) The contractor shall acquire the LiDAR data during leaf-off, no snow on the ground conditions 3) The contractor shall fly the LiDAR mission as close as possible with the aerial imagery mission. The imagery will assist in processing the LiDAR data to bare-earth and for break line compilation 4) The bare-earth LiDAR will be used for rectification of the imagery in the areas of coverage 5) The LiDAR will be collected at 1.4 meter ground sample distance (GSD) All deliverable data and documentation shall be free from restrictions regarding use and distribution. Based on information available at this time, and in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 253, implemented by FAR 6.302-1, the government considers these items specified as a sole source from the Omaha-Council Bluffs Metropolitan Area Planning Agency (MAPA), 2222 Cuming St, Omaha, NE 68102-4328 and proposes to negotiate with that firm on that basis. However, should additional sources be identified, they will be considered. Firms who feel that they can furnish the required services and provide considerable cost sharing are invited to submit in writing an affirmative response to this announcement, and such other materials which correspond to the required items stated herein. This information will be evaluated and used to determine if competitive opportunities exist. Since no solicitation document exists, requests for such documents without accompanying information will be considered non-response to this request without further consideration. Affirmative response shall be received by this office by close of business June 3, 2010 by 3:00 PM Mountain Standard Time. This notice may represent the Government's only official notice of this procurement.
