PURPOSE

The Army has a validated requirement to obtain this type of geospatial information. The purpose of this document is to acquire contractor support services through a Firm Fixed-Price project to generate Urban Tactical Planner (UTP) geospatial datasets for the specified areas for the Army Geospatial Center (AGC).

2.0 BACKGROUND

2.1 In 1994 the Defense Science Board (DSB) handed down a directive to investigate MOUT (Military Operations on Urban Terrain) support to the warfighter. The US Army Geospatial Center (AGC) has designed a user-friendly, flexible geospatial information and services tool in the form of an Urban Tactical Planner (UTP). The UTP is an operational geospatial dataset for the urban environment that is capable of functioning as an aid in decision-making when dealing with urban terrain. The UTP supports MOUT, Military Operations other than War (MOOTW), threat assessment, and humanitarian support among other applications.

2.2 The geospatial dataset entails mapping certain terrain and cultural features which have an impact on the urban setting, such as forested areas, ridge lines, drainage features, power lines, various key buildings (as determined from ancillary source), transportation network and bridges. Building areas of similar form and function are grouped as homogeneous polygons called Built-up Terrain Zones (BTZ’s). Additional information is provided for each BTZ to give an indication of the function (e.g. residential) and ease of mobility in the polygonal area (e.g. detached buildings with open space are indicative of favorable mobility between structures by mounted and dismounted infantry). AGC employs both in-house and out-of-house capabilities for the creation of this dataset, deliverable in digital format. The UTP Digitizing Field Guide, Standard Operating Procedures, and Specifications (hereafter referred to as the UTP Field Guide), 17 March 2016 (or later as revised), will be the current guidance, provided upon request.

3.0 SCOPE

3.1 This Performance Work Statement (PWS) addresses the support services required to generate Urban Tactical Planner (UTP) geospatial datasets for the specified areas for the Army Geospatial Center (AGC).

3.2 Dataset Specifications shall be consistent with those of the UTP Field Guide dated 17 March 2016 (or later as revised) and related documents.

3.3 The Contractor shall conduct and track Quality Control (QC) measures for all phases of data set generation and adhere to the approved QC controls. The contractor must provide a Quality Control Plan (QCP) as a part of their submission. This QCP may be included as part of the technical proposal or as a stand-alone document. The QCP shall address how the offeror plans to effectively ensure the quality of their services stated in the PWS.

REFERENCE DOCUMENTS

5.1 Minimum necessary Government Furnished Information (GFI) shall be provided to the Contractor prior to commencing work. This minimum necessary GFI is digital and consists of shape files of the mosaicked base image(s) outlines, a readme file with base image parameters, the base image(s) in geo-tiff, and, as available for the AOI, JOG(s), TLM(s), city graphic(s), and SRTM2f all in geo-tiff. Additional GFI (such as hardcopy maps or tourists guides) may become available after award to assist in the extraction of the dataset. Although not presented to the contractor as formal GFI hand-off, the recommendations in the UTP Field Guide for the use of the myriad of internet resources is not only encouraged but expected, e.g. Google Earth, NGA.

5.2 The UTP Field Guide, 17 March 2016, (or later as revised) will be provided as the current guidance. Previously completed UTPs may be referenced for sense of feature display and density; these are available through the AGC PKI website. Prior discussions with and guidance provided by the Government concerning the extraction and portrayal of UTP data will also be used for the cities on this project.

5.3 After project award, the government (AGC) will also provide the required personal geodatabase template, the Analyst Template referred to in the UTP Field Guide, for extraction. The contractor may make changes in the template only at the direction of the government and as specified in the UTP Field Guide; primarily, this is the source field in the template.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

6.1 The Contractor shall use all Analytical SOPs and GFI provided by the Government for the analysis and generation of the UTP geospatial datasets for each of the areas specified below in paragraph 7.0.

UTP data set specifications shall be consistent with those of the UTP Field Guide and related documents. The current order of priority is that listed below. The contractor is only responsible for the Level III and IV data extraction described in the UTP Field Guide. Further, the specific road layer-type to be extracted is standard. Should the coordinates below not match the supplied image base, the contractor will immediately contact the COR or the project monitor prior to commencing any effort on that city.

6.2 The UTP geospatial datasets will be delivered in ArcGIS Geodatabase format (ArcGIS 10 is acceptable) along with all base images, maps, and DTED, or SRTMf, as integral data layers ready to go to the finishing routine, per the UTP Field Guide.

6.3 Materials expected within a deliverable include the UTP dataset for the specified study area delivered on CD-ROM or DVD(s). Electronic delivery via AMRDEC will be considered on a case-by-case basis. City datasets should be submitted prior to the delivery date completion as part of phased submittals. The contractor shall develop a work plan that provides a schedule of submittal deliveries over the course of the performance period to demonstrate a progression of work. The final submittal will allow the government sufficient time to adequately provide comment prior to the end of the delivery date. This work shall be coordinated with the COR/project monitor.

6.4 The Contractor shall demonstrate a final, not a draft, version of the UTP prior to the contract completion date. The Government will review and critique the delivered UTP. The Contractor shall incorporate 100% of the Government's requests for changes in the UTP dataset consistent with the current UTP Field Guide and related guidance. The contractor will ONLY make the corrections called for; the contractor will make no other additions or deletions to the data set without permission from the COR/project monitor.

6.5 The Contractor shall have experience in providing expertise in the use of Earth Resources Data Analysis System (ERDAS) Imagine and Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) ArcGIS software and associated modules to capture spatial and attribute data in the analysis and compilation of military terrain (both natural and urban), water resources, and environmental data (or similar studies). Datasets may be extracted in a higher version than specified in the UTP Field Guide; however, only the version specified in the UTP Field Guide will be submitted unless coordination is made prior to the start of extraction as to an acceptable format change. In addition to the extracted version of the data base (e.g. 10.2) a version ArcGIS 10.0 will also be submitted.

6.6 The Contractor shall have experience and expertise in providing support with data management and dissemination: skilled in Windows, able to manipulate data files, proficient in ArcGIS, basic image and map manipulation, possess a basic understanding of databases and data management, and be familiar with National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) and other common geospatial data formats.

6.7 At this time, the contractor's thorough knowledge of Enterprise Geodatabases in a Microsoft Structured Query Language (SQL) and Spatial Database Engine (SDE) environment is not a requirement for UTP generation but will be in the future.

6.8 The Contractor shall deliver a monthly status report, due by the 15th of the following month. A final report will be delivered 15 days after completion of this contract.
