- Description
- Contractor Performance Customer Survey Questionnaire The Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Eastern Region Acquisition Division, Norfolk, VA is soliciting on behalf of NOAA's, National Ocean Service (NOS), National Geodetic Survey (NGS) a requirement for remote sensing, mapping, and charting services to support the Coastal Mapping Program (CMP), the Aeronautical Survey Program (ASP), the Gravity for the Redefinition of the American Vertical Datum (GRAV-D), and for other surveying and mapping projects in the United States, its possessions, and/or nearby areas. Work assignments may consist of but are not limited to: (1) acquiring, near vertical, metric quality, tide coordinated, kinematic Global Positioning System (GPS) positioned, digital or film, aerial photography exposed along pre-determined flight lines over coastline, coastal ports, commercial/FAA controlled airports, and/or other assigned areas; (2) preparing photographic digital index files; (3) acquiring other tide coordinated, kinematic GPS positioned remotely sensed data along flight lines over coastline, coastal ports, airports, and/or other assigned areas (including LIDAR, IFSAR, hyperspectral, gravity, etc.); (4) conducting ground surveys; (5) collecting airborne GPS and inertial data; (6) conducting airborne gravity and magnetic surveys; (7) monitoring tide/water level data from NOAA, National Ocean Service (NOS) tide/water level gauges; (8) installing tide/water level gauges, including leveling, monitoring, and tidal data processing; (9) recording camera information; (10) performing aerial camera exposure tests over an area similar to the project area, and/or performing calibrations of remote sensing equipment; (11) performing AeroTriangulation (AT); (12) performing photogrammetric mapping; (13) preparing orthophotographs; (14) preparing data for Geographic Information Systems (GIS); (15) digitizing maps, both raster and vector; (16) creating and manipulating digital elevation models (DEM); (17) creating attributed digital shoreline files, including Aids to Navigation (ATN) and landmarks; (18) annotating nautical charts; (19) creating quality control plans; (20) preparing reports, including email status reports, flight reports, aerotriangulation reports, ground control reports, and project completion reports.
