US Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District, Contracting Division, CENWP-CT-S, PO Box 2946 (Zip 97208) / 333 SW First Avenue, (Zip 97204) Portland, Oregon. POC: Elizabeth Baierl, Contract Specialist, 503-808-4616. The US Army Corps of Engineers is requesting proposals for a contracted study to determine whether aerial/satellite imaging, mapping, and interpretive services can produce data products which accurately characterize out-of-stream water withdrawals occurring at the Yamhill River basin, Oregon. The Corps and its partner Oregon Water Resources Department (OWRD) are interested in determining if this remote technology can produce this type of resource information on a more widespread and cost effective basis than available through traditional on-the-ground field observations and monitoring methods. In order to be applied as a management tool, it is critical that any products, services, and innovations of this study provide a level of coverage, local accuracy and site detail that is comparable to that currently available through those ground based methods. A contract will be awarded to produce remote sensing images, image interpretations, mapping, data development, and GIS services over as wide an area within the basin as necessary to reliably make this determination. It is required that images used to generate this data and characterizations of water uses reflect the year 2000 peak agricultural irrigation season, which occurs between late July and early September. Services which may be used to complete this study could include any of the following: aerial/satellite image collection, ground surveys and field reconnaissance, photogrammetric mapping, interpretation services, GIS development, data product output, and consultation. An awarded contractor may sub-contract very specialized services required to complete the work (i.e. flying services). Data products delivered under this contract must be compatible with the conventional geographical systems, technological tools and data management methods used by the OWRD. The data products and results of this study must be delivered to the Corps not later than December 31, 2000. Proposals will describe how a contractor's study would be organized, its methods, products, and potential applicability. This procurement is being solicited as UNRESTRICTED. Any firm capable of performing the services described are encouraged to obtain a solicitation package and submit a proposal. Solicitation packages will be available on or about 31 July 2000. Proposals will be due on 14 August 2000 by 4 P.M. Solicitation packages may be obtained by contacting Elizabeth Baierl at 503-808-4616 or email at Elizabeth.A.Baierl@usace.army.mil.
