The data collection guide can be accessed at:

http://datacollectionadvisor.com/ If new data is being created and the corresponding SDSFIE data structure exists, the government shall provide unpopulated layers to the contractor structured per current NAVFAC standards.

If new data is being created and the corresponding data structure does NOT yet exist, the contractor shall provide the GRC with a data dictionary identifying all of the SDSFIE Entity Types, attributes, and/or domain values associated with the new feature(s), the geographic area(s) covered by the data and Spatial extent information prior to the creation/editing of GIS data. Acceptable formats: MS Excel or MS Word. (Adobe PDF is not an acceptable format. New non-SDS compliant attributes (meeting SDSFIE criteria) will require precise schema definitions.

2.3 Government Source Data: The contractor will be provided access to any GIS data required for the project via a government computer, which will require Contractor Common Access Card (CAC).

Government GIS repository is in an ESRI format. All data shall be returned in this format and structure unless the government specifies otherwise. A completed NAVFAC GIS Data Release form is required prior to data being released to the Contractor if editing is required to be completed on Contractor equipment.

2.4 Attribute Population:

a. The contractor shall consult with the COR before populating attribute tables to ensure the results match the current GeoReadiness interpretation of the SDSFIE.

b. The contractor shall identify the classification, type, location, ID number, and any other necessary attributes (specified by the Government) for all new/updated/edited features.

c. For new field collected data, attribution must include the date collected in the following format.

Name: Date Description: Date that the feature was edited from its original or previous value.

Data Type: Date Default Value: null

Data Integrity

3.1 Data accuracy standards for all deliverables will be in accordance with those set forth in the section entitled ‘Data Collection Procedures’. All deliverables should include an accuracy report in the metadata.

3.2 The contractor shall employ appropriate QA/QC standards to ensure that data is topologically correct, accurate and complete (to include):

3.3 No erroneous overshoots, undershoots, dangles or intersections in the line work

3.4 Point and line features will be snapped together where appropriate to support networks. For example, do not break linear features for labeling or other aesthetic purposes.

3.5 Lines should be continuous and point features should be digitized as points. For example, point features, such as manholes, should not be drawn using only a circle (polygon) to represent its location. Preferably, use an attribute block symbol that has an insertion point in the center of the manhole.

3.6 No sliver polygons

3.7 Digital representation of the common boundaries for all graphic features must be coincident, regardless of feature layer

3.8 Geometric network connectivity must be maintained for utility networks.

Note: This excludes field collected “walked” survey transect data.

A summary of the methods used to correct inconsistencies and any remaining errors by case should be included in the metadata under the ‘Logical Consistency Report’ and ‘Completeness Report’ sections.

Quality Control and Quality Assurance.

7.1 The contractor shall take all appropriate and needed QA/QC measures to ensure data is complete, topologically correct, accurate, structured correctly, and formatted correctly per the scope of work and complete (to include):

a. **All data shall be visually inspected before submittal to the government.**

b. The numbers of records for all joined tables shall match, or the specific unmatched records shall be identified and explained to the satisfaction of the government.

c. All required attributes (per DCG current version shall be populated).

d. All domain constraints shall be adhered to, unless approved by the government, prior to submittal.

e. No erroneous overshoots, undershoots, dangles or intersections in the line work.

f. All area type features shall be closed polygons.

g. Line features shall be snapped together where appropriate to support networks. For example, do not break linear features for labeling or other aesthetic purposes.

h. Lines shall be continuous and point features shall be digitized as points. For example, point features, such as manholes, shall not be drawn using only a circle (polygon) to represent its location.

j. Digital representation of the common boundaries for all graphic features must be coincident, regardless of feature layer

k. Geometric network connectivity shall be maintained for utility networks, where specified by the scope of work.

Field Collection

8.1 Where field data collection is required, the contractor shall utilize conventional and other methods, such as a total station, or Global Positioning System (GPS) in accordance with the applicable Geospatial Positioning Accuracy Standards published by the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC).

8.2 At a minimum, the contractor shall provide resource grade GPS collection at an accuracy level of +/- < 1m and shall use differential correction to target accuracies of +/- .5 m.

8.3 Where appropriate (as stipulated in the contract or as otherwise determined by the Government), the contractor shall use survey grade GPS, at an accuracy level of +/- 3 cm. Global Positioning System (GPS) data collection activities will be based on a post-processed environment using an accurately sighted base station. Base station files for post processing acquired locally (off-site CORS Continuous Operating Reference Station) will be verified for accuracy.

8.4 GPS data on the location of utility lines and other features shall be captured at a minimum at the beginning, end, and at each turn or bend in the line and processed as a line feature type. GPS data on the location of utility points and other features shall be captured at the centroid of the feature unless signal obstruction or access prohibits; otherwise points will be captured at a uniform distance and direction from the centroid and the offset captured in the metadata for that feature.

Data on polygon features shall be collected at every vertex of the feature and processed as a polygon.
