Services required include, but are not limited to, survey and mapping activities specific to the following: (1) Hydrographic high order accuracy multi-beam bathymetric surveys with imagery (e.g. hill-shade) for underwater structure analysis, project navigation channel condition status and quantity determinations. Types of structures include, but are not limited to, dam stilling basin, training wall, and end sill; (2) Hydrographic transect and topographic bathymetric surveys designed for riverbed condition analysis, profiling and quantity determinations; (3) Automated data collection, and fully integrated echo sounding equipment and positioning systems with 22 to 26 foot survey vessel(s) as a minimum is required. Specified bathymetric work may require the incorporation of geophysical surveying systems and instruments (e.g. acoustic Doppler current profiler, sub-bottom profilers, seismic reflection equipment, seafloor imaging software, side-scan sonar, and remotely operated vehicles) or other water quality instrumentation to meet Government requirements; (4) Dredging measurement, payment, and acceptance surveys; (5) Conventional and real-time global positioning system (GPS) control surveys for remote sensing instrumentation (e.g. hydrophone, transducer, etc) in support to fish behavioral studies; (6) Mapping in two and three dimensions explicit to required surveys; (7) Conventional and real-time Global Positioning System (GPS) land surveying encompassing geodetic control, cadastral and boundary surveys, remote sensing instrumentation positioning and control surveys, standard and valley type transect surveys, topographic, engineering design, and construction surveys; (8) Horizontal and vertical control networks for establishing local and grid coordinate systems; (9) Remote sensing and photogrammetric mapping requirements which consist of aerial photography, aerial photo processing, analytical aerotriangulation, stereo mapping compilation, digital orthophotography, airborne topographic light detection and ranging (LIDAR) mapping, and land use/land cover interpretation; (10) Utilization of multiple frequency GPS and GNSS enabled systems, electronic directional and leveling instruments; (11) Establishment of primary control networks from which supplemental surveying and mapping is performed, positional information is determined with reference to ellipsoid heights, and tied to high accuracy geodetic control networks; (12) Production and recordation of cadastral/boundary maps and documents according to the applicable state and county requirements; (13) Remote Sensing data acquisition of 2D and 3D information about an object through the use of aerial, land-based, and hydrographic sensors; airborne LiDAR, high resolution 3D terrestrial LiDAR, and BlueView sonar technologies; (14) Deformation Monitoring Surveys (precise and standard to industry) performed on land and underwater on a periodic basis to determine if a structure or object is changing shape or moving. (15) Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) and Mapping Surveys; (16) Geographic Information System (GIS) creation of personal geodatabase with implementation of SDSFIE standards and compatible with ESRI ArcGIS software; (17) Automated data processing with Computer-Aided Design (CAD) systems employing A/E/C Standards with industry equipment, hardware and software.
