DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATION /STATEMENT OF WORK
| Statement | of | Work | for |
| Aerial | Surveyor | Forestry | Services |
| The | contractor | will | map | tree | mortality | and | damage | using | a | digital | sketchmapping | system | (DASM/DMSM) | from | the | air. | This |
| work | is | conducted | alongside | a | Forest | Service | representative | in | a | government | provided | aircraft. |
BACKGROUND
| The | Region | currently | has | a | need | for | up | to | two | aerial | surveyors | for | the | 2017 | survey | season | with | specialized | expertise | in | ||
| western | forest | pests, | forest | types, | GPS | and | GIS | technology | as | well | as | aviation | experience | from | as | early | as | June | 19 | to | as | late |
| as | November | 17, | 2017. |
| Survey | staff | utilize | government | provided | specialized | mapping | equipment | to | conduct | these | surveys | and | prior | experience |
| with | performing | aerial | survey | work | is | preferred. |
| Aerial | detection | surveys | (ADS) | have | been | conducted | annually | since | 1994 | in | California. | The | program | typically | consists | of | ||
| three | (3) | full‐time | employees | who | conduct | aerial | surveys | from | July | through | September, | to | map | forest | disturbances | |||
| throughout | forested | areas. | The | survey | staff | utilize | government | owned | or | contracted | aircraft | (typically | light, | fixed‐wing | ||||
| aircraft) | and | specialized | mapping | equipment | to | conduct | these | surveys. | This | effort | is | part | of | a | national | program | to | map |
| forest | disturbance | and | pest | outbreaks | across | the | United | States. |
SCOPE
| Contract | employee | will | work | full | time | (40 | or | more | hours | per | week | on | flexible | shifts, | but | not | more | than | 6 | consecutive |
| workdays). | Duty | station | will | be | Davis, | California, | but | the | bulk | of | the | work | will | accomplished | in | other | locations | and | remotely. | |
| The | contractor | will | be | provided | with | forest | pest | and | tree | identification, | DASM/DMSM | recording | systems, | along | with | |||||
| aviation | safety | and | survey | training | during | the | June | and | early | July | timeframe. | From | July | 3 | through | October, | the | contractor(s) | ||
| will | be | responsible | for | preparing | for | survey | work, | conducting | aerial | surveys | to | map | forest | disturbance, | checking | mapped | ||||
| forest | disturbance | on | the | ground | for | quality | assurance, | and | processing | GIS | data | and | photos | collected | through | the | contract | |||
| period. | Most | data | processing | work | can | be | accomplished | remotely | if | the | contractor | has | access | to | Arc | 10.X. | Alternately, | if | the | |
| contractor | successfully | passes | background | checks | and | obtains | a | USDA | Forest | Service | LincPass, | a | laptop | for | processing | will | ||||
| be | provided | by | the | Agency. | The | contract | will | not | exceed | 640 | hours | of | work, | including | training, | for | each | employee. |
| The | aircraft | utilized | during | the | surveys | will | be | procured | and | managed | by | a | qualified | USDA | Forest | Service | fixed‐wing | ||||
| manager | who | will | also | be | on | the | aircraft | while | performing | survey | work. | The | aircraft | will | be | utilized | according | to | all | FAA | and |
| USFS | regulations | and | policies. | Aerial | survey | work | will | take | place | in | a | government | owned | or | contracted | aircraft, | usually | a | |||
| small, | fixed‐wing | aircraft | such | as | a | Partenavia | P‐68 | or | Cessna | 185 | or | 205. | Aerial | survey | missions | often | include | four | |||
| personnel | with | strict | adherence | to | weight | and | balance | limitations | to | ensure | flight | safety. |
| Overnight | travel | will | be | required | during | the | contract | period, | totaling | an | estimated | 25 | days. | All | reimbursement | for | travel | |||
| and | per | diem | costs | shall | be | limited | to | rates | established | in | the | Federal | Travel | Regulations | for | “localities” | where | travel | is | |
| required. | The | contractor | shall | select | the | most | mission | convenient | and/or | economical | lodging | and | present | alternatives | to | the | ||||
| government | for | approval. | If | no | lodging | receipts | are | provided | by | the | contractor, | per | diem | will | be | provided | at | 50% | of | the |
| maximum | allowable | rate. |

DELIVERABLES
| The | contractor(s) | will | have | a | working | knowledge | of | GPS | and | GIS | (specifically | ESRI | products | ArcView | and | ArcMap) | |
| technology, | and | preference | will | be | given | to | individuals | with | experience | with | the | mapping | program | Geolink | ® | from | Michael |
| Baker | Corporation | and/or | the | Digital | Mobile | Sketchmap | application | as | well | as | substantial | aviation | experience | in | small | fixed | |
| wing | aircraft. |
| These | tasks | will | be | performed | in | light | aircraft | for | extended | periods | of | time | (up | to | eight | hours | per | day | with | limited | breaks) | in |
| often | turbulent, | hot | and | cramped | conditions. | Flights | are | often | delayed | or | cancelled | based | on | many | factors | so | flexibility | is | ||||
| important | for | all | crew | members. |
| The | contractor(s) | will | also | conduct | field | surveys | in | support | of | the | aerial | surveys. | Field | surveys | require | the | ability | to | hike | for |
| extended | periods | of | time | (up | to | 10 | hours | per | day) | in | remote | areas | with | rough | terrain | and/or | high | elevation. |
| The | contractor(s) | will | be | able | to | identify | and | map | dead | and | injured | forest | trees | and | identify | major | tree | pests | (insects | and |
| pathogens) | in | locations | throughout | California. |
| Other | tasks | include | GIS | and | other | computer‐related | work | in | an | office | setting, | and | preparing | for | air | and | ground | surveys. | The |
| contractor(s) | will | undergo | training | as | needed | during | June | and | early | July. | Once | the | training | is | accomplished, | the | |||
| contractor(s) | will | conduct | surveys | in | conjunction | with | government | employees | from | mid‐July | through | October | or | until | the | ||||
| survey | is | terminated. |
| The | contractor(s) | will | supply | the | USFS | with | periodic | (weekly) | GIS | shapefiles | depicting | the | location | and | spatial | extent | of |
| recent | mortality | and | injury, | recorded | during | the | survey. | The | provided | shapefiles | will | adhere | to | National | and | Regional | Aerial |
| Survey | Standards. |
| The | contractor(s) | will | be | required | to | furnish | modest | personal | protective | equipment | (PPE) | for | themselves | appropriate | for | ||||
| each | mission. | For | fixed‐wing | flights, | PPE | will | consist | of | close‐toed | shoes | or | boots, | and | pants | and | shirt | composed | of | non‐ |
| synthetic | fibers. | Aviation | headsets | for | hearing | protection | and | communication | will | be | provided | by | the | Government. |
| The | contractor(s) | will | be | responsible | for | knowing | and | adhering | to | airport | security | measures | at | the | airports | listed | in | the |
| 2017 | proposed | flight/work | schedule. |
| PLACE | OF | PERFORMANCE | |||||||||||||||||||
| Work | at | the | beginning | of | the | contract | will | be | at | the | USFS, | Forest | Health | Protection | office | at | 1731 | Research | Park | Drive, | Davis, |
| California. | A | work | space | and | computer | will | be | provided | at | this | location | to | the | contractor. | Some | of | this | training | and | ||
| orientation | may | be | done | remotely | via | internet | training | modules | and | other | electronic | documentation. |
| Transportation | between | the | Davis | office | and | various | airports | to | meet | the | aircraft | will | be | provided | in | a | government | vehicle. | |
| Additionally, | transportation | to | and | from | hotels | and | airports | while | on | travel | status | will | be | provided | by | the | government. | If | it |
| is | more | convenient | or | efficient, | the | contractor | may | self‐transport | directly | to | an | airport | to | meet | the | plane | or | any | |
| predetermined | meeting | place | at | the | discretion | of | the | USFS | Aerial | Survey | Program | Manager | (Contracting | Officer’s |
Representative).
| At | the | convenience | of | the | Govt. | most | data | processing | can | be | conducted | remotely | via | government | provided | laptop | with |
| LincPass | access | restrictions | or | on | any | computer | with | Arc10.X | or | equivalent | installed | and | fully | functional. |
| Typically | once | initial | training | is | complete, | one | contractor | will | fly | survey | with | an | agency | flight | manager | while | the | other |
| remotely | processes | previously | generated | data. |
| PERIOD | OF | PERFORMANCE | ||||||||||||||||||||
| The | period | of | performance | will | be | June | – | October, | 2017. | The | duration | of | the | contract | will | not | exceed | 640 | hours | of | work | |
| after | award | of | the | contract, | per | contract | employee. | Specific | proposed | times | of | work | are | given | in | the | 2017 | ADS | proposed | |||
| work | schedule | (attached). | It | must | be | emphasized | that | scheduling | be | flexible | and | subject | to | change | on | short | notice. | Survey | ||||
| work | is | very | weather | dependent | and | can | be | cancelled | for | a | variety | of | reasons. | Additionally, | the | pilot | is | from | out | of | state | and |
| mission | work | may | approach | but | will | not | exceed | established | flight | duty | days | of | the | pilot. | Specifically | not | more | than | eight | |||
| hours | of | daily | flight | time | and | no | more | than | six | consecutive | flight | days. |
The beginning and ending of the schedule may or may not be full time depending on experience and capabilities of the contractor.
