This is a project area document for the FLIR Project related to an aerial thermal survey contract opportunity issued by an Illinois forest preserve district. The project involves conducting aerial thermal imaging surveys to detect and count white-tailed deer across four designated forest preserve locations using unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The contract will be awarded to the lowest, most responsive and responsible bidder based on evaluation criteria established in the solicitation. The project scope encompasses thermal imaging acquisition, data processing, and delivery of survey results across the four preserve sites, with specific requirements for UAS capabilities, flight parameters, and thermal imaging specifications to ensure consistent and accurate deer detection and population assessment.

The document provides technical specifications and geographic parameters for the aerial survey project, establishing flight altitude requirements, thermal camera specifications, and data delivery standards necessary for the district to obtain reliable wildlife population data. Funding for this contract is provided through the district's operational budget allocated for wildlife management and ecological monitoring activities. The survey results will support the district's wildlife management planning and habitat conservation efforts across the four designated forest preserve locations.
