Description

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation services prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation 701816Q053 is issued as a Request For Quotes (RFQ). This solicitation document and incorporated clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisitions Circular #2001-25b. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 7 (Alaska) is requesting quotes to provide QuickBird Satellite Imagery as stated below: STATEMENT OF WORK TITLE: Contract for satellite imagery to be used in a study of Yukon River floodplain vegetation succession BACKGROUND: The Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge field station would like to establish a contract to acquire QuickBird satellite imagery (archive and new imagery) for a section of the Yukon River riparian corridor. The refuge is interested in examining floodplain vegetation successional dynamics on the Yukon River and how they are influenced by abiotic (erosion/accretion) and biotic (moose) interactions. Moose are an important resource to Yukon Flats residents and we currently lack knowledge of their forage habitat quality and quantity along the Yukon. Acquiring current satellite imagery (along with fieldwork conducted by Refuge staff) will allow us to identify and describe the distribution, extent, and structure of major plant communities (at the early successional stage) of the Yukon River floodplain. To better understand plant successional trajectories over time, we will use current satellite imagery with aerial photography from previous time periods (1950's and 1970/80's) to conduct change detection analyses of vegetation and river erosion/accretion events. With this information, we hope to improve our knowledge of plant successional dynamics on a major Alaska river and can test plant succession models developed for the much studied Tanana River floodplain system. Additionally, we hope to better understand how these ecological drivers may be affected, although indirectly, by climate change. WORK DESCRIPTION: See Below PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: 1. Imagery Acquisition: New Imagery -Sept 20, 2006 to Sept 30, 2006 and/or -June 10, 2007 to Sept 30, 2007 if atmospheric conditions not suitable in Archive Imagery -Already available in QuickBird Library (see technical detail for imagery scene i.d. numbers) 2.
