The survey flights were expected to occur between February 1 and February 28, with approximately 30 hours of flight time anticipated per year.

The maximum possible score was 300 points, with 70 points awarded for technical factors and 30 points for estimated fees. The top-scoring vendor was APEX Helicopter, which received a total score of 284 points for both the AS350 and B206 helicopter options.
