All products associated with this contract that provide a map representation of the location of installation features (historical, existing, or planned) including installation maps, site plans, area development plans, or other related overhead (plan) views of an installation (partial or entire) must adhere to the following requirements.

All maps and associated data must comply with the latest version of Spatial Data Standards for Facilities, Infrastructure, and Environment (SDSFIE) available from the CAD/BIM Technology Center website: https://cadbim.usace.army.mil/. These data will be organized using the current version of the standard approved by the Headquarters Air Force Geo Integration Office (HAF GIO) as the functional lead for installation mapping and visualization. The SDSFIE will determine file and feature class identification and definition, attribution and valid domain values.

When any geospatial information collected as a result of the contract includes information identified in the Common Installation Picture (CIP) or recognized Mission Data Set (MDS) the contractor will deliver data consistent with the established requirements for the data and will ensure functionality with the receiving system. Information must be collected at no less than

1:1200 scale for base cantonment areas and 1:4800 scale for larger undeveloped base areas.

Spatial data will meet or exceed National Map Accuracy Standards at those scales. Metadata will be provided by the government when applicable and updated by the contractor when changes are made. Contractor shall use Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) for updates to the metadata.

Geospatial data must be delivered in a geo-referenced GIS (Geographic Information System) format (feature-based file structures with one-to-one cardinality between spatial records and attribute records) which would include Environmental Systems Research Institute's (ESRI) shapefile and geodatabase formats. All attribute data as specifically outlined in the task order contract must be included either in the GIS data file or as a separate table with a SDSFIE key variable that may be used to relationally join the separate table with the GIS data file. All geospatial data must be delivered in the North American Datum 1983 (NAD83) projection, State Plane Coordinate System, using feet or metric coordinate units. Deviations from this standard may occur in the event the projection standard is modified by HAF GIO (E.g. UTM). Further guidance on mapping units, coordinate systems and projections is available from the Installation

GIO.

Mapping- or Survey-Grade Global Positioning Systems (GPS) or comparable traditional survey methods will be used to collect geospatial data. The use of mapping- or survey-grade GPS will depend on the precision requirements of the product data. These requirements will be specified later in this SOW for all contract activities where geospatial data are involved. In the case of contracts involving utility construction, location and attribute data will be obtained at the time of excavation. GPS surveys performed by the contractor shall be tied to the existing Robins AFB geospatial control datum. Government shall provide a shape file of existing control points to the contractor upon request. Further information about precision requirements should be obtained from the installation GIO.

Source data and product data remain the property of the US Government. The contractor may be required to explain and demonstrate the company's process for protecting all geospatial data, including but not limited to geometry, attributes, metadata, topologies, and relational database schemas and operations used in association with this SOW. The contractor may be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement attesting to the same before source data are released. Further information about security and nondisclosure requirements should be obtained from the installation GIO. Some installation map data, source and/or product, may be considered by the government to be "sensitive, but unclassified. The intent of this clause is to prevent intentional or unintentional dissemination of "sensitive, but unclassified" information to include unauthorized access to the source and product data by any entity wishing to do harm to the USAF or United States Government while the data resides on the contractor's computer network.

The contractor is not authorized to release this. information to any third party without the explicit consent of the Headquarters Air Force Office of the Civil Engineer (AF/A7C) or its involved installation. All source information must be returned to the government POC or destroyed upon completion of this project. Aerial imagery obtained from the Government and by the contractor is not to be used, shared, transmitted to third parties, or stored for any purpose other than performing work under this SOW without consent from the Installation GIO. Special requirements for handling classified map data, if applicable, will be addressed elsewhere in this SOW. (CDRLs A00l, A019, A020)
