3. GEOSPATIAL DATA STRUCTURE:

A. GIS Data Sets - When developing/delivering geospatial data, the Cooperator shall adhere to consistent with the most current version of the GEOFidelis Data Model and in accordance with the Data Layer Specifications for applicable layers. If the GEOFidelis

Data Model does not adequately address subject data sets, the Cooperator shall consult with the GEOFidelis Program Office for direction and approval of proposed data structures. The Government may approve such modifications if they comply with the

GEOFidelis -SDSFIE adaptation process. Copies of the GEOFidelis Data Model may be obtained from the GEOFidelis Portal or the GEOFidelis Program Office via the Project

Manager.

When delivering updates to existing feature classes, the Cooperator shall obtain a copy of the subject data in a personal geodatabase to use as a template and associated Data

Layer Specifications for all subsequent data collection processes. If further modifications to structure are required as a result of this Scope, the Cooperator will consult with the

GEOFidelis Program Office for direction and approval for proposed data structures. The

Government may approve such modifications if they comply with the GEOFidelis-SDSFIE adaptation process.

- AND / OR-

B. CAD Drawings/Data - The Cooperator shall develop all CADD data in conformance with the latest version of the following standards and policies:

U.S. National CAD Standards (NCS)

CAD/BIM Technology Center’s AEC CADD Standards

NAVFACINST 4250.1, Electronic Bid Solicitation

4. GEOSPATIAL DATA PROJECTION: Geographic data (regardless of format) shall be provided in the proper projection per focus area as approved by the GEOFidelis Program

Office. This requirement applies to all CADD drawings including as-designed and as-built project plans as well as GIS data layer deliverables. Each data set shall have a projection file based on format. Map or drawing scales will be determined by the GEOFidelis Program

Office. Mapping accuracy for the agreed scales will conform to the American Society for

Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) "Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital

Geospatial Data" and "Geospatial Positional Accuracy Standards". Copies of these standards can be obtained on the Internet at https://www.asprs.org and/or at https://www.fgdc.gov or by contacting:

5. GEOSPATIAL DATA COLLECTION:

https://cadbim.usace.army.mil/ https://www.asprs.org/ https://www.fgdc.gov/ https://www.fgdc.gov/

A. Mapping grade Global Positioning System (GPS) data collection (sub-foot

(approximately 30 Centimeters), sub-meter and sub-5 meter) shall be performed when specified in the statement of objectives and shall be completed in accordance with state and local guidelines and standards. Default horizontal accuracy for mapping grade GPS data collection efforts shall meet a sub-meter threshold unless otherwise specified to be survey grade or sub-foot or sub-5 meter in the statement of objectives. Only approved statewide base stations shall be used for mapping grade

GPS data collection. Spatial accuracy requirements are as follows:

Sub foot (approximately 30 Centimeters): 95% of all points are within + 30

Centimeters

-OR-

Sub meter: 95% of points are within + 1 Meter

-OR-

Sub 5 meter: 95% of points are within + 5 Meter

- AND / -OR-

B. Survey grade GPS data collection shall be performed when specified in the statement of objectives. As survey processes are highly regulated by federal, state, and/or local technical and licensing requirements, they are in general beyond the scope of this document. However, survey grade GPS data collection shall at a minimum use the Geoid2003 CONUS epoch (or a more current epoch if available at the time of this project) and spatial accuracy requirements for survey grade are 95% of GPS points are within + 1 centimeter. Every effort shall be made to capture feature locations without using offsets unless obstructions are present. Any offsets used shall be annotated in the "user flag" field.

NOTE: None of the GPS collection information is to be included in the table structure of the delivery, unless it is specifically part of the SDSFIE feature format.

6. MEDIA FOR GEOSPATIAL DATA DELIVERABLES: Geographic data shall be delivered via

SFTP -DoD SAFE (https://safe.apps.mil/ ) or other digital media such as external hard drives if approved by the government. This media shall contain only the value-added data sets as designated in the Task sections of the statement of objectives. Do not include the

Cooperator's working files or originating installation data sets that may have been used by the Cooperator to develop the deliverables. "READ ME" files may be included on the geographic data media if such files provide explanation of the delivered data sets; however, these "READ ME" files should not be delivered in lieu of standard metadata.

7. GEOGRAPHIC DATA DOCUMENTATION (METADATA): For each digital file delivered containing geographic information (regardless of format), the Cooperator shall provide documentation consistent with the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) Content

Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Copies of the FGDC metadata standard can be obtained on the Internet at http://www.fgdc.gov or by contacting:

FGDC Secretariat c/o U.S. Geological Survey

590 National Center

Reston, Virginia 22092

(703) 648-5514

The documentation, at minimum, shall include the following:

- The name, description, abstract, and purpose of the data set/data layer

- The source of the data and any related data quality information such as accuracy and time period of content

- Descriptions of the receiver and other equipment used during collection and processing, base stations used for differential corrections, software used for performing differential corrections, estimated horizontal and vertical accuracies obtained, and conversion routines used to translate the data into final geographic data delivery format.

- Type of data layer (point, line, polygon, etc.)

- Field names of all attribute data and a description of each field name

- Definition of all codes used in the data fields

- Ranges of numeric fields and the meaning of these numeric ranges

- The creation date of the map layer and the name of the person who created it

- A point of contact should be provided to answer technical questions

GIS metadata shall be delivered in XML format. Regardless of the tools used for metadata creation, the Cooperator will ensure that the delivered data uses the SDSFIE-M Metadata

Style for ArcGIS, available to download from http://www.sdsfie.mil/Standards#Metadata .

Metadata must include all required SDSFIE-M 2.0 elements.

NOTE: The metadata should be formatted from the GEOFidelis Data Model database perspective, not the Cooperator project perspective. Therefore, such items as "Point of

Contact" should be the installation POC currently associated with the data and NOT the

Cooperator's Project Manager. The Cooperator should use language and format consistent with existing installation metadata.

8. GEOGRAPHIC DATA REVIEW: The digital geographic maps, related data, and text documents shall be included for review in the draft and final contract submittals. The data will be analyzed for discrepancies in subject content, correct format in accordance with these specifications, and compatibility with the existing GIS system. The Cooperator shall incorporate review comments to data and text prior to approval of the final submittal. For each review of digital geospatial data deliverables, the Cooperator shall provide a technical consultant to meet on-site at the installation with the IGIS&S Manager and functional area http://www.fgdc.gov/ http://www.sdsfie.mil/Standards#Metadata subject matter experts to visually review the data deliverables unless otherwise approved by the government. All final GIS Data deliverables will be compliant with SDSFIE - V, -M, and -Q standards.

9. OWNERSHIP: All digital files, final hard-copy products, source data acquired for this project, and related materials, including that furnished by the Government, shall become the property of the Government and will not be issued, distributed, or published by the

Cooperator.

GIS data provided by the Government IGI&S shall require a signed non-disclosure letter from the requester and all entities, including sub-Cooperators, who will require access to the data. The Government will provide access only to information required for fulfillment of the contract.
