Payment will be made after receipt and acceptance of end products (CDs and maps). TOTAL$_______ STATEMENT OF WORK: The following describes the work to be performed by the contractor to accomplish a planning level survey of vegetative communities on the Fort Rucker Military Installation (approximately 58,000 acres). A map of the area to be surveyed will be provided to the contractor. 1. The survey will identify the following vegetative communities as defined in the Final Survey of the Fauna and Flora of Fort Rucker, AL., Mount and Diamond, 1992. a. Steep Forested Ravine Slopes b. Hardwood-Dominated Mesic Forests c. Mixed Pine-Hardwood, Mesic Sites d. Xerice Forests, Sandhill Type e. Xeric Forests, Clayhill Type f. Young Pine Stands g. Mid-Aged Pine Stands h. Badly Eroded Sites, Waste Areas, Quarries i. Agricultural Land, Fallow Fields and Old Fields j. Golf Courses and Similar Places k. Floodplain Forest l. Bay Swamps m. Seeps, Bogs and Wet Meadows n. Borrow Pits o. Beaver Ponds p. Ox-Bows q. Man-made Lakes r. Permanent Streams s. Intermittent Streams 2. The vegetative communities will be identified by remote sensing, using ground confirmation to determine spectral signature ranges of the habitat types. Soil survey data will be used to further refine the data. Initial classification will be accomplished using Landsat satellite imagery procured by the government. Existing digital orthophotography of the Installation provided by the Government will be used to refine this classification. Communities should be defined down to 0.25 acre. Geographic information systems (GIS) software utilizing an image analysis extension will be used to classify spectral signatures into identifiable vegetative communities and these communities will be identified and delineated as a GIS shapefile. This data must then be ground-checked (1/100 sample) and refinements made for accuracy. 3. Additionally gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) habitat (based on soil type and vegetative community type) should be delineated and mapped separately. These habitats should be coded as high potential, medium potential, low potential, and non-suitable. 4. Deliverable products will consist of: a. 2 copies of ArcGIS shapefile vegetative community maps on CDs (with metadata), b. 2 printed vegetative community maps (36 inches x 48 inches) 5. The contractor has one (1) year from time of contract award to complete work described herein. 6. Pursuant to the DoD Instruction 2000.16, DoD Anti-Terrorism Standards, contracting officers shall incorporate Level I Anti-Terrorism Awareness Training into any contract where performance requires access to a Federally-controlled facility (i.e. Fort Rucker) The training is publicly available at https://atlevel1.dtic.mil/at. Each Contractor employee who needs access to Fort Rucker must complete this training and receive a certificate. All certificates must be turned into the COR, who will in-turn provide a copy to the contracting office. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
