1.0 SCOPE

1.1 OBJECTIVE

The objective of this contract is to acquire contractor services to supplement the Klamath Basin Area Office’s (KBAO’s) geospatial data library by obtaining, updating, and developing geospatial data relevant to the Klamath Project (Project).

1.2 BACKGROUND

KBAO relies on geospatial data for numerous planning, environmental compliance, engineering, operations and maintenance functions. The use of high-quality geospatial data that is seamless across the Klamath Project improves the quality, effectiveness, and efficiency of these functions, conserving public dollars. However, development of KBAO’s geospatial data library has fallen behind due to other projects and priorities. Much relevant data exists only on dated paper maps which need to be converted to digital geospatial format. KBAO does not currently have the resources to complete this effort.

The most efficient means of developing KBAO’s geospatial data library is to acquire the services of a contractor to focus on the effort. A contractor in possession of knowledge and expertise in the most current standards and best practices for the GIS industry can more efficiently provide this service than Reclamation itself. These services are best performed by a contractor local to the Klamath Basin, who possesses local knowledge and relationships with stakeholders, as well as the proximity to KBAO, Klamath County records, and field sites, to expediently perform the fieldwork and records research at KBAO and other local sites.

Reclamation’s expectation is that the contractor will acquire, update, or develop geospatial data by:

1) supplementing KBAO’s digital map library by scanning, georeferencing, and digitizing historic paper maps and drawings;

2) researching county (Klamath County, Oregon and Siskiyou and Modoc counties, California) and irrigation district records for missing data;

3) QA/QC’ing spatial data for internal consistency as well as for coincidence with common base layers, such as the Public Land Survey System and county parcel maps, standard imagery products, and by field-checking as needed;

4) developing attribute data relevant to the layers being developed (to be further specified through consultation with Reclamation); and

5) preparing standard metadata to document the provenance, characteristics, and quality of the developed geospatial data.

The geographic scope of this contract is the Upper Klamath Basin of southern Oregon and northern California above Keno Dam. More specifically, the area of interest consists of 15 Public Land Survey System (PLSS) townships in northern California (Siskiyou and Modoc counties) and 38 PLSS townships in southern Oregon (Klamath County). While not all of the features to be captured in geospatial data occupy all of these townships, all of the townships contain at least some of the features.

This contract is anticipated to be a three-year effort, consisting of a base year and two option years. Performance of this contract assumes unrestricted movement of contract and Reclamation personnel and accessibility of paper records at KBAO, irrigation districts, and counties under post-COVID-19 conditions.
