About this file
This document is a collection of exhibits supporting a federal solicitation for forest inventory field data collection services in California, Oregon, and Washington. The exhibits provide technical specifications, procedural instructions, and reference materials necessary for contractor performance.
The contractor must collect annual inventory data across multiple forest plots using specified hardware and software systems. Required equipment includes Personal Data Recorders (Juniper Systems Allegro 2 or Trimble Ranger 7), laptops running Windows 10 with Microsoft Office 2013 and specific software frameworks, and survey-grade GNSS units (Javad Triumph-2 with L1/L2 frequencies and GPS/GLONASS capability). Data collection utilizes the MIDAS (Mobile Integrated Data Acquisition System) platform accessed through https://apps.fs.usda.gov/fia/midas-access/main, with Electronic Plot Folders (EPF) distributed via Box Drive for file management and submission. Contractors must resolve all data errors and critical warnings before uploading completed plots to both the MIDAS website and Box Drive. The exhibit details plot locations across the three states (39 plots listed in Exhibit D), with critical plots requiring completion by September 15, 2026. Deliverables include plotcards, digital imagery, GPS coordinates, and data printouts in specified PDF and file formats saved to designated C: drive directories. Additional requirements encompass installation of Box Drive software, completion of an Electronic Plot Folder Inspection Form, adherence to plot packaging and loading procedures through MIDAS Utilities, safety plan submission to the Contracting Officer Representative, and compliance with GNSS survey procedures outlined for the Javad Triumph-2 receiver with detailed instructions for iPhone, Android, and computer connectivity options.

COMPLETED ELECTRONIC DATA SUBMISSION FOR EACH PLOT:
After successfully uploading plots to the MIDAS website server, as described in EXHIBIT J, EPF’s for each plot shall be submitted according to solicitation Section E-3 - GOVERNMENT’S QUALITY ASSURANCE
PLAN.
EXHIBIT G: LANDOWNER CONTACT
The landowner contact form is not required for this solicitation.
EXHIBIT H: ELECTRONIC PLOT FILES
The Electronic Plot Folders (EPF) will not be distributed until after individual contract awards are made. The process and the files described in EXHIBIT H are subject to change annually. The most up to date process and required files are referenced in the “Field Instructions”.
EPF, File Descriptions
Each plot is represented by a folder named by
State.County.PlotNumber.Cycle.Subcycle.Phase.ManualVersion.STD which is also referred to as
<MIDASfilename>. Example: WA.061.06310.06.09.P2.930.STD
Each prefield plot folder has files for reference and documentation as follows. These files will be provided by The Government, from a storage location subject to change annually.
Historical Reference Files
• Aerial Image: <MIDASfilename>.IMAGE.PDF. A Digital Orthophoto Quadrangle (DOQ) with a 1:12000 scale, with plot center indicated. This file will be updated if plot center is deemed to be labeled incorrectly and loaded with the rest of the EPF files.
• Data <MIDASfilename>.Prevdata<Year>.PDF. All data from the previous visit. Possible aid in relocation, tally, etc. For reference only, this file is not updated.
• Previous Plotcard(s): PREVPLOTCARD_State_PlotNumber_Year. Scanned reproductions of previous survey plot cards. For reference only, this file is not updated.
• Current Plotcard: <MIDASfilename>.PLOTCARD.doc. Blank plotcard that will be filled out when the plot is completed. This document will be updated by the contract crew and placed in the C:\Midas\PlotPacket|PNWRS\Collected\<MIDASfilename> folder.
• Topographic Map: TOPO_State_PlotNumber. Digital topographic map of plot area with plot center indicated. For reference only, this file is not updated.
• Historical Fire and Disease Maps
Current Survey Files
These electronic plot files are directly referenced or updated as plots are measured and placed into
C:\Midas\PlotPackets\PNWRS\Collected\<MIDASfilename> folder| and loaded to a digital Government data storage location. This process may change annually, as well as the required files. The most up to date process and required files are referenced in the “Field Instructions”.
• Plotcard: <MIDASfilename>.PLOTCARD.PDF, Updateable current survey plotcard. To be saved as a .pdf using Microsoft word.
• Image: <MIDASfilename>.IMAGE.PDF. A PDF document of local map, generally showing roads, trails, topo, etc.
• Data Printout: <MIDASfilename>.PRINTOUT.PDF. Required MIDAS data printout file
(pdf). These files are created by MIDAS Control Panel as part of required documentation of plot sampling.
• Landowner Contact Form: <MIDASfilename>.LCF.PDF when required.
Note: If there are additional items you feel would aid in the relocation and/or remeasurement of the plot, they may be stored as part of the permanent EPF for that plot. Examples would be additional reference point(s) with GPS readings. While not required, these are encouraged if they could help in the relocation, or aid in the analysis, of the plot data. Plots with minimal field referencing, i.e. wilderness plots, plots or RPs along trails or roads, may benefit especially with additional items.

See Section S.12 for file naming and file location requirements.
Buttons at the bottom are self-explanatory. Expand and collapse all plots does this for each of the folders.
Remove failed plots allows user to remove a plot with errors and continue with the rest that are error free.
Zip one or all plots with the 2 buttons on the right.
Pop up window will appear indicating plot has been packaged.
Click ok, and program will return to main screen.
If a plot needs to be unpackaged for any reason, see below for details.
Once plot has been packaged it is ready to load into Midas.
LOADING PACKAGED PLOTS INTO MIDAS
Once all plot files have been packaged, they can be loaded into Midas. Packaged plots files are saved in a separate folder location C:\MIDAS\Uploads\PNWRS.
Now go to Midas Website https://apps.fs.usda.gov/fia/midas-v2/main. Login using username and password.
Select Edit and then Load Field data from the menu options. This is the same loading procedure that has always been used in Midas.
Once the loader screen appears click choose files shown below. A window will appear and select browse next to P2/P3 plot files.
File explorer window will appear.
Browse to C:\Midas\Uploads\PNWRS folder and select the plot(s) you want to load.
The plot file will now appear in the loader screen.

Post-processing .jps files using the DPOS online tool (not required)
This tool works well for post-processing and will give a report (standard or extended format) with the corrected positions and information about the base stations used in the solution. As of now, it does not show the number of positions collected only the number of minutes. The major drawback of using this is that it will throw an error if you try to put files that were collected on different dates in the same project so each day’s positions just need to be post-processed separately.
A. Go to this website (use Google Chrome).
B. Register for an account or login.
C. Open the folder with the .jps files in the location you saved them from iTunes, drag the files you want to post-process into the webpage. Adjust parameters as necessary. Make sure the “Network” option is set to CORS. Give it a project name, set to “Auto” to get the info from the device and hit “Submit.”
D. Go the “Browse Reports” page and wait for the project to finish. Click the name to see a map of the base stations it used and view the report. Click the icons to the right of the name to download a .pdf or .txt file of the report. Useful resources
• JPS Viewer- this program can open the raw .jps files and summarize them.
• Justin Link- this program is similar to Justin, the JAVAD post-processing software, but it does not have the post processing capabilities, so it does not cost. It can load .jps files in an ArcMap type interface and make certain edits such as datum or antennae configuration. It is also a useful way to quickly view the point locations over NAIP imagery.
