- Description
- Amendment No. 2 - Following are questions and answers for informational purposes: 1. Q: What was the cost per KM from past awards? A: Last years contract for imagery, interpretation, and mapping amounted to about $80.00 per kilometer of shoreline. 2. Q: Provide a more detailed description of what kind and how much ground verification and sampling they are requiring. A: Most of the ground verification is based on the previous experience of the geomorphologist and biologists trained in ShoreZone interpretation who have mapped other areas in Alaska and British Columbia. Some verification is done during the imagery when or if there is any question about a particular segment of shoreline. 3. Q: Would stream temperature surveys with a camera system be helpful information? A: At this time, we are not particularly interested in temperature as we are concentrating on the physical and biological components of the shoreline habitat. 4. Q: What kind of samples are wanted? A: No samples are required but technical observations and interpretations from the still and video digital images collected from the helicopter flights. These observations and interpretations are based on professional expertise developed from previously collected samples and field verification. 5. Q: Will agency personal be on flights, to take samples, or observe A: Agency personnel will be on the flights to take digital still photos and to make and record biological observations of the biobands for each Shorezone unit inventoried. NMFS will have at least one biologist on all flights and perhaps two, depending on available seats. 6. Q: Who posts the web video images and how many? A: A new website does not need to be developed, however, for the contractor will need to provide 1 second jpg?s of the video as well as high resolution jpg?s of the still photos. The contractor must also provide shape files of the flightlines and the bioband data. The shape file attributes must include a 6 digit number from the video frames to ensure that the correct flightline point is associated with the right jpg. There also needs to be some device attached to the camera so that the orientation of the video is known. 7. Q: Where can we see what was provided in the past? A: The incumbent contractor, Coastal and Ocean Resources Inc. The website is http://coastalalaska.net ----This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.

The mapping is needed to support the mandates of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act requiring Essential Fish Habitat to be mapped and to assist agencies monitoring changes to sensitive habitats. 2.0 OBJECTIVE: Conduct ShoreZone inventory and mapping of specific segments of northern and southern coasts of southeast Alaska. 3.0 STATEMENT OF WORK: In 2005, conduct ShoreZone imagery and mapping of 1,130 km of shoreline along the west coast of Baranof Island from Southern portion of Sitka Sound near Redoubt Bay, north along west side of Baranof and Chichagof Islands to Cape Bingham, including Kruzof Island and Lizianski Inlet. The contractor shall fly the shoreline during the only low tide window from July 19-25, 2005. Conduct ground verification sampling during the flight to map interpretation of the biota and substrate. Collect video imagery and provide interpretations of the data to NMFS for use on the website. In 2006, conduct ShoreZone imagery and mapping of 1,682 km of shoreline from Craig on the west side of Prince of Wales Island south to Cape Muzon, east to Cape Fox on the mainland, north to Behm Canal, west to Grindall Island, and south along the east side of Prince of Wales Island, including Kasaan Bay. The contractor shall fly the shoreline during optimal low tide windows during the summer of 2006. Conduct ground verification sampling during the flight to map interpretation of the biota and substrate. Collect video imagery and provide interpretations of the data to NMFS for use on the website. 4.0 SCHEDULE: Contract Line Item No. 0001: Furnish and delivery 2005 imagery and mapping of 1,130 KM of shoreline along west coast of Baranof Island from Southern portion of Sitka Sound near Redoubt Bay, north along west side of Baranof and Chichagof Islands to Cape Bingham, including Kruzof Island and Lizianski Inlet, in accordance with the specifications below.
