140F0621Q0120 High Resolution Imagery Acquisition on U.S. Fish and Wildlife Lands

Statement of Work

Project: High Resolution Imagery Acquisition on 1,000 acres Location: Glacial Ridge National Wildlife Refuge and Detroit Lakes Wetland Management District Project Performance Period: June 16, 2022 – August 15, 2022

Background:

The Detroit Lakes Wetland Management District and Glacial Ridge National Wildlife Refuge Complex (Complex) encompasses over 75,000 acres in northwest Minnesota. Complex staff are investigating the applicability of utilizing remote sensors for the early detection of invasive species in select management units. Invasive species will invade remnant prairie, high quality prairie restorations, fen-like habitats, and borders of freshwater wetlands–all considered high priority habitats of Complex lands in western Minnesota. Due to their rapid rate of spread, potential negative impacts to high priority habitats, and associated human-health hazard for some (wild parsnip), these are priority species for early detection and rapid response.

Scope:

Collect, post process, and provide aerial imagery of the project areas for three time periods during the summer of 2022 (June 16 -30, July 1-15,July 16-31).

Deliverables:

Provide Complex Staff with Tiled Imagery Mosaics (georeferenced) meeting the following specifications:

· 4-band (NIR, R, G, B)

· 2 inch GSD

· ≥ 60% Along-Track Overlap

· ≥ 30% Across-Track Sidelap

· Format – 8-bit, Tiled Geo-Tiff

· <10% Cloud Cover over study area (preferred cloud free)

· Imagery Accuracy 3-5 pixels In addition, contractor will provide Survey Boundaries and Orthophoto Index in shapefile formats, along with Method and Results (.pdf format) and associated FGDC compliant Metadata.

Provide imagery and associated data within one week of acquisition.

Schedule and Coordination:

· Imagery will be collected between June 16, 2021 – August 15, 2022

· Acceptable conditions for imagery collection will be coordinated between the contractor and an identified USFWS representative.

· The USFWS will give 1-week notice of acceptable imagery conditions.

Budget:

The anticipated total cost of this contract is estimated to be $30,000.

Government Furnished Material:

Updated shapefiles of the project area and/or blocks to be flown.
