The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission awarded contract C7D636 in the amount of $3,500.00 for survey data entry and quality assurance services related to the 2026 Disturbance Response Monitoring (DRM) program. The contract was awarded on August 19, 2026, with a completion date of June 30, 2027. The contracted services encompass the entry of survey data collected by partner organizations into a secure, validated online data portal system, with data entry occurring between November 1, 2026, and November 13, 2026.

The primary deliverables include data entry of 3,500 survey records into the protected online system with field-level validation controls, coupled with comprehensive quality assurance activities performed by divers responsible for each dataset. Quality assurance obligations require surveyors to compare original datasheets against online entries for accuracy and consistency with predefined data codes, identify erroneous or missing data, and mark survey sites as either Complete or Unsuitable within the system by the November 13, 2026 deadline. The contracted services support the DRM Survey Project period, which runs from purchase order issuance through October 31, 2026, enabling the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute to receive validated monitoring data from participating partner organizations.
