NOAA has a requirement for LIDAR hydrographic surveying services to support nautical charting and related products for the coastal and adjacent ocean areas of the United States (including possessions and territories), the Great Lakes and other inland navigable waters. One three-year indefinite delivery contract, at an estimated $10 million per year, is scheduled for award in FY 2006 with performance of first work order commencing in 2006.
Work orders under this contract will consist of but are not limited to:
- acquiring shallow water airborne hydrographic LIDAR sounding data;
- acquiring shoreline and coastal topographic LIDAR;
- installing, operating, and removing water level (tide) stations;
- acquiring related supporting data (e.g. water level correctors, secchi depth readings, etc.);
- processing the data, including tidal tabulation, computation of tidal datums, tidal zoning determination, applying water level correctors to determine the true depths, and compiling reports, final smooth sheets, and digital data; and
- performing quality control during data acquisition and processing; and
- the delivery of the data, reports, and sheets to NOAA for archival and application to the nautical charts and associated nautical products.
