7. The Contractor shall not develop new libraries without prior written approval from the Government.

2. Survey

Global Position Systems (GPS) or comparable traditional survey methods will be used to collect geospatial data (e.g., northing, easting, and elevation above or below the Earth's surface) for all contract activities where geospatial data is involved. For construction purposes this data will be obtained at the time of construction and prior to burial in the case of underground utilities. Survey methods must meet accuracy standards for actual results.

3. Accuracy

Information must be collected at no less than 1:1200 scale (1”=100ft) for base areas and 1:4800 (1”=400ft) for areas outside of the base boundary. All data must be collected within sub-meter accuracy, except for utilities underground data, which must be collected at survey grade accuracy of 1 foot or less. This data will meet or exceed National Map Accuracy Standards at the corresponding scales. Delivered data must meet these accuracy standards at no less than 95%.

4. Projection/Coordinate System

Geospatial data must be delivered in a georeferenced GIS (Geographic Information System) format. All geospatial data must be delivered in the Kansas State Plane South Coordinate System projection, North American Datum 1983 (NAD83), coordinate units in feet.

Coordinate System: Kansas State Plane Coordinate System Zone: South Units: Feet Projection: Lambert Conformal Conic Spheroid: Geodetic Reference System 1980 (GRS80) Origin Latitude: 36° 40 min, 0.00 sec (36.66666667°) Origin Longitude: 98° 30 min, 0.00 sec N Longitude (-98.50°) Northern Standard Parallel: 37o 55min, 0.00 sec (37.9166667)

Southern Standard Parallel: 36o 40 min, 0.00 sec (47.666667) False Easting: 1312333.333333 feet False Northing: 1312333.333333 feet Horizontal Datum: North American Datum 1983 (NAD 83) Vertical Datum: North American Vertical Datum 1988 (NAVD 88)

5. Related Tables

All associated attribute data must be delivered to the installation in a format as defined by the GIO (Geo Integration Office). This format is Microsoft Access unless otherwise specified. These related tables must include one-to-one cardinality between spatial records and attribute records. Relationships between spatial records and attribute records must be defined in the geodatabase.

Feature Attributes: The Contractor shall identify the classification, type, size, location, ID number, and any other necessary attributes (specified by the Government) for all surveyed, mapped, designed, or proposed features.

6. Database Design/Topology

The database design must be reviewed, approved and provided before data capture begins. The utility data must have topology, with defined relationships between features and be a true network. Linear features must be connected.

7. Metadata

All deliverable data (geospatial and textual data) must be accompanied by metadata using Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) for organization. Content will accompany all submissions.

C. Delivery Format

Note: No deviations from the Government's established standards will be permitted unless prior written approval of such deviation has been issued by the Contracting Officer. All linkages of non-graphical data with graphic elements, relationships between data objects and attributes, and report formats shall be maintained.

All data deliverables (plans, surveys, studies, imagery, designs, etc.) shall be in a digital (electronic information) format and shall be delivered in a format that is directly compatible with the CADD/GIS Technology Center’s Spatial Data Standards version 2.100 (or latest version available).

The following procedures must be performed before a file is placed on the delivery media:

1. Include all files, both graphic and non-graphic, required for the project. Make sure all files are in the same directory, and that references to those files do not include device or directory specifications.

2. Ensure all reference (external reference) files are attached and without device or directory specifications.

3. Remove all extraneous graphics/text outside the project border area, and set the active parameters to a standard setting (or the setting contained in the seed or prototype file).

4. Include any standards sheets (abbreviations, symbols libraries, font libraries, color tables, pen tables, plot configuration files, user command files, etc.) necessary for a complete project.
