FLIR Project AreaCopy.shp.xml

This is a shapefile metadata document related to an aerial thermal survey project in Illinois involving the District and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) technology. The file references a FLIR thermal imaging project area for white-tailed deer surveys conducted across multiple forest preserves. The project, identified as Quote-FP-04-2526, seeks a qualified firm to perform aerial thermal surveys using UAS at four forest preserve locations. The shapefile was created on October 7, 2025, and is stored on a local area network within the District's Natural Resources and Wildlife GIS database, specifically in the UAS_FLIR thermal deer survey folder. The file serves as geographic reference data for the thermal survey project area boundaries.

The contract will be awarded to the lowest, most responsive and responsible overall bidder based on their qualifications to conduct aerial thermal imaging surveys for white-tailed deer populations. The shapefile metadata provides the technical foundation for defining project boundaries and survey areas across the designated forest preserves. No specific pricing information, set-asides, funding amounts, or contract terms are contained within this metadata file, as it functions primarily as a geographic information system reference document supporting the broader aerial thermal survey procurement.
