Project Background. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Northwestern Division, Portland District (CENWP) has been tasked to identify interest in a Photogrammetric and LiDAR Surveying and Mapping A-E Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC). The Government expects the bulk of the Task Orders to be issued by USACE, Portland District (NWP); however, the Procurement Contracting Officer (PCO) may issue written authorization to other USACE Districts in Northwestern Division (NWD) to issue Task Orders under this contract. The purpose of this indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) SATOC is to provide all labor, management, facilities, supplies, equipment, and materials (other than those to be furnished by the Government as set forth in this contract or task orders (TOs) issued under this contract), as necessary to accomplish the required services. The Contractor shall plan, schedule, coordinate and ensure the full, effective, efficient, and economical performance of all services ordered under this contract. The Contractor shall provide adequate professional supervision and quality control to ensure the accuracy, quality, completeness, and timely progress of the work. Project Scope. This is primarily a photogrammetry services contract. Project sites include concrete and earth-fill dams, jetties, levees, floodways and riverbanks. Work under this contract can include, but are not limited to, any of the following: Manned fixed-wing aircraft aerial photography, photogrammetry (aerotriangulation, stereo compilation, orthophotography) and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data collection of large project sites. Manned rotary-wing high density LiDAR data collection of smaller project sites. Utilizing Small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (SUAS) for collection of aerial data. Hydrographic and land surveying to support aerial missions, hydrologic analysis and full-structure mapping of infrastructure that include above and below water surface designs, such as coastal jetties. Computation, integration, and analysis of data collected by the methods listed above. Number and Type of Contracts: NWP contemplates awarding a Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC). The acquisition strategy decision has not yet been determined. Maximum Small business participation is being sought at both the Prime and subcontracting levels. Project Specific Constraints and Challenges. Coordinating aerial acquisition and hydrosurveys with workable and safe tidal, weather, and sea-state conditions is very important to getting adequate coverage of our dynamic coastal features. USACE will be helping facilitate the timing of these surveys, but the contractor must be aware of these challenges which may result in scheduling changes.
