GEOGRAPHIC EXTENT OF PROJECT

FY27 3DHP-A: DCA Project Summary Form Page 3

Project GIS File: A vector GIS file defining the location and coverage area of your project is required for project submission. Your project area must be represented by a polygon in shapefile, geopackage, or KML/KMZ format. The file name should use the following naming convention: ST_Geographic_Description where:

ST= State Abbreviation (ex. AL. or UT); AND Geographic Description (ex. Blue_Arrow_Watershed or Eastern_Utah)

Note: Minimum shapefile components required are: .shp, .sbx, .dbf, .prj.

3DHP Project Boundary Creation and Delivery:

The project shapefile, geopackage, or KML/KMZ file must be produced from the final, static published version of the USGS Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD)

Date of WBD Download (MM/DD/YYYY) and check box

A project vector GIS file with proper file name and format has been submitted as a part of the project submission package. The file has been projected to NAD 1983 (2011) Contiguous USA Albers (EPSG 6350).

Geographic Extent:

☐ HU8

☐ HU10

☐ HU12 (requires prior approval by emailing 3DHP_DCA@usgs.gov)

DATA SPECIFICATION

Data must adhere to the most current USGS Elevation-Derived Hydrography Data Acquisition Specification and Representation Extraction Attribution and Delineation (READ) rules (www.usgs.gov/3DHP/HydroSpecs).

Final Project Completion:

Estimated project completion for elevation-derived hydrography projects is 18 to 24 months. Project deliverables must be ingested to the 3DHP dataset at the end of the performance period.

and check box

The applicant acknowledges that the standard period of performance for hydrography data acquisition projects is 18 to 24 months but can be extended due to unforeseen circumstances.

The applicant further agrees that all project deliverables will be ingested into the 3DHP dataset and that the data will be collected http://www.usgs.gov/3DHP/HydroSpecs

FY27 3DHP-A: DCA Project Summary Form Page 4 in cooperation with the USGS, with no use restrictions.

APPROACH TO DATA ACQUISITION

Project Approach:

Acknowledgement required; please read and check box

USGS Geospatial Products and Services Contract (GPSC)

Applicant agrees to enter into an agreement with the USGS GPSC to acquire data. The USGS National Geospatial Program’s exclusive method of data acquisition is through the GPSC, a multiple award data acquisition vehicle that is designed to utilize the team of firms on the contract for services needed to accomplish 3DHP data acquisition.

Suggested Source (Optional)

300 characters maximum

(Optional) Please identify a suggested GPSC contractor if one has participated in the planning or partnership of this project. Only one GPSC contractor can be identified. If a suggested source is identified a rationale must be provided below.

Rationale for Suggested Source

3000 characters maximum

Rationale for Suggested Source including how the contractor has participated in the planning or partnership of the project and their IDIQ number. Reminder, only one GPSC contractor can be identified. If more than one GPSC contractor is identified the suggested source will be invalidated.

PROJECT FINANCES

The cost of elevation-derived hydrography data acquisition varies based on geographic extent and terrain.

This cost includes data acquisition, data processing, and vendor quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC). Applicants must include an ESTIMATED cost of their project using one of the following options:

• A project planning estimate from the USGS Geospatial Products and Services Contracts (GPSC) Commercial Partnership Team (CPT) using Form 3DHP-C.

• an estimate received from an elevation-derived hydrography data acquisition vendor.

• an estimate from another source together with an explanation of how the estimate was obtained.

The estimate should only include the cost of acquiring and processing hydrography data that meet the most current USGS Elevation-Derived Hydrography Data Acquisition Specification and READ rules (www.usgs.gov/3DHP/HydroSpecs). The cost of any additional products and services should not be included in the 3DHP funding request. Information about desired additional products and services should be documented at the end of the application in the “Additional Project Details” section. The cost of additional products and services are the sole responsibility of the applicant.

The USGS will complete an independent review during the evaluation period to verify if the estimate reflects valid industry costs for the project area and conveys good value to the government. In addition to the data acquisition cost, applicants acquiring data through the GPSC are subject to a 6% assessment on the value of their financial contribution to cover the cost of contract management. The final cost of the project will include the data acquisition cost plus the assessment. The project funding table below calculates the assessment automatically.

Estimated Cost over entire Project Area:

Select Only One Option

The applicant is using a project planning estimate (Form 3DHP-C) received from the USGS GPSC CPT to estimate elevation-derived hydrography data acquisition, processing, and vendor QA/QC costs

The applicant is using an estimate from an elevation-derived hydrography data acquisition vendor or an alternate figure to estimate project data acquisition, processing, and vendor QA/QC costs.

Please provide explanation of how estimated cost was derived:

The applicant should select only one option. If the applicant has been provided with a total ESTIMATED cost, use Option 1; if the applicant has a cost per square mile, use Option 2.
