PROPOSED TIMELINE

Acquisition:

Select Only One Option ☐ Spring 2020

☐ Fall 2020 /Winter 2021

☐ Other:

DATA SPECIFICATION

Data must adhere to the USGS Lidar Base Specifications V2.1. In addition to the requirements outlined in the USGS Base Lidar Specification V2.1, lidar data and derived products must meet the current definition of Quality Level 2 (QL2). Upgrades to QL1 are allowed but the cost of the upgrades is the responsibility of the applicant. In the event that a new edition of the specification is released during the open period of the BAA, opportunities to migrate to the revised specification will be discussed and agreed upon at the time of award.

Project will be collected to:

☐ QL2

☐ QL1

☐ QL1 / QL2 combination (Provide details and/or delineate QL1 and QL2 Areas on project graphic and in project GIS file)

☐ Other:

DATA DELIVERABLES

Standard 3DEP deliverables are defined in the USGS Lidar Base Specification V2.1

Additional Capture Conditions and/or Products and Services:

Additional capture condition and/or products and services are available. The cost of variations from the LBS is the responsibility of the applicant

additional products and services generated from the lidar data. The cost of these additional requirements and products and services are the responsibility of the applicant and will be incorporated into partner funding agreement(s). For those applicants proposing to use the Geospatial Products and Services Contracts (GPSC), the following additional products may be available (check all that apply):

☐ Coastal Tide Coordination ☐ Leaf-on ☐ USFS Guaranteed 50% sidelap ☐ Multiple Spatial Reference Systems ☐ Additions to the Minimum Lidar Classification Scheme (additional point cloud classifications) ☐ Additions to the Hydro Flattening Requirements for Inland Lakes and Ponds ☐ Additions to the Hydro Flattening Requirements for Inland Rivers and Streams ☐ Hydro Enforced Digital Elevation Model (DEM) ☐ First Return DSM (non-hydroflattened) ☐ Machine generated contours ☐ Machine generated building footprints ☐ Hillshades ☐ Other. Please specify:

Requests for additional products and services should be documented in Attachment C to assure consideration of these additional costs in the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) and recognition by all partners of the full project costs

APPROACH TO DATA ACQUISITION

Mechanism:

Select Only One Option ☐ USGS Geospatial Products and Services Contract (GPSC) Applicant enters into agreement with the USGS GPSC to procure data. The USGS National Geospatial Program’s preferred method of data acquisition is through the GPSC, a multiple award acquisition vehicle that is designed to utilize the team of firms on the contract for services needed to accomplish 3DEP data acquisition.

☐ Financial Assistance through a Cooperative Agreement (Government) or Cost-Share Contract (Non-Government) Applicant manages data procurement (detail technical approach below).

Technical Approach (Cooperative Agreement or Cost-Share Contract):

3000 characters maximum Please provide a qualifications statement describing your proposed technical approach for acquiring and performing quality assurance of lidar data and derived products. Include information on your approach to selecting a vendor. If a vendor has already been selected please provide a brief summary of the vendor’s experience and past performance as related to the acquisition and processing of lidar data that meets USGS Base Lidar Specification V2.1.

PROJECT FINANCES

The cost of lidar acquisition varies based on geographic extent, terrain and vegetative cover. This cost includes data acquisition, data processing, vendor quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) and additional products and services as appropriate. Applicants must include an ESTIMATED cost of their project by utilizing of one of the following options:

· a preliminary Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) from the USGS Geospatial Products and Services Contracts (GPSC) Commercial Partnership Team (refer to Attachment C)

· an estimate received from a lidar acquisition vendor

· an estimate from another source together with an explanation of how the estimate was obtained The estimate should include the costs for the entire project regardless of the QL requested. The USGS will complete an independent review during the evaluation period to determine if the proposed cost estimate reflect valid industry cost for the specific geographic area and reflect a good value to the government. In addition to the acquisition cost, applicants utilizing the GPSC contracts will be subject to a 5% assessment on the value of their contribution. This assessment covers the cost of contract management. The total cost of the project will include the acquisition cost plus the assessment. Hit TAB to complete input

Estimated Cost over entire Project Area:

☐ The applicant is using a preliminary Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE per Attachment C) received from the USGS Geospatial Products and Services (GPSC) Commercial Partnership Team to estimate 3DEP acquisition, processing and vendor QA/QC costs

☐ The applicant is using an estimate from a lidar acquisition vendor or an alternate QL2 figure to estimate project acquisition, processing and vendor QA/QC costs.

Please provide explanation of how estimated cost was derived:
