Emergency/natural disaster

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Master Agreement H9039 is an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) specifically designed for emergency and natural disaster response services, with a primary focus on post-event aerial survey and imagery collection. The contract enables rapid deployment of professional services for emergency mapping and documentation, particularly in scenarios like hurricane response. Key services include collecting high-resolution 12-inch ground sample distance (GSD) aerial imagery, creating orthomosaic imagery datasets, and providing cloud-based delivery of geospatial information to support emergency responders and recovery efforts.

The master agreement was awarded to Woolpert, Inc. and was active from September 9, 2017, to September 9, 2020, covering the state of Florida. The contract is a flexible professional services agreement with unit rates ranging from $74.22 per hour for administrative support to $330.35 per hour for principal surveyor services, and equipment rates including $700 per hour for fixed-wing aircraft and $1,300 per hour for LiDAR services. Executed under Governor Executive Order #17-235, the IDV allows for potential federal aid reimbursement from FHWA and FEMA, with a demonstrated project value of $58,180.00 for post-Hurricane Irma imagery collection services.
